[opensource-dev] in-viewer translation is dead soon.

[Daniel]

You didn't read my previous comment apparently.  They are NOT shutting 
off all translations.
They are shutting the freestanding translation page in favor of embedded 
translation web
elements within pages.  The "why" is the freestanding page doesn't make 
them any money,
while translating web pages *which have Google ads included* gets more 
readers for the ads,
thus makes money.  That is entirely sensible from a business point of 
view, although annoying
for people used to using their service as it has been.

For the built-in translator in recent viewers the choices are (1) delete 
the feature, (2) find a
way to use their web elements component, or someone else's service, or 
(3) host translation
software on LL servers so you are not dependent on the whims of a cloud 
based service
provider.
