What Smart Translate does
Smart Translate can detect the language of individual posts and comments. Content written in another supported language is translated into your selected language. Content already written in your preferred language is left unchanged.
First-time language download
Chrome may need to download a local translation model for a language pair the first time it is used. If translation does not begin immediately, follow any message shown by the extension and try starting Smart Translate again.
Common troubleshooting
The translator does not appear
Refresh the Skool page after installing the extension. You can also confirm that Real World Translate is enabled in chrome://extensions.
A post was not translated
Very short text, emojis, names, or unsupported language pairs may not be translated. Try scrolling the post into view and starting Smart Translate again.
Translation stopped after reloading
Chrome may require a user action to start a local translation session after a full page reload. Open the translator and start Smart Translate again.
Compatibility
Current version: Google Chrome on desktop. Real World Translate is designed for use on Skool pages.
