Translate a page

When a page is in a language other than yours, a Translate button shows next to the site controls. Sval translates the page on your device.

You open a Codeberg project whose README is in German.

Steps

1. In the address bar, select the Translate button next to the site controls.
2. In the panel, select Translate.

While the page is translated, the button shows your language’s code.

Details

• To go back to the page’s own language, select the button again, then select Show original.
• The translation runs on your device. Sval downloads the translation models it needs from Mozilla’s Remote Settings, and the page’s text never leaves your computer to be translated.
• The button shows only while the page can be translated into your language, or is translated.
