ArcGIS Hub has a setting you can turn on that will have a translator appear on the left side of the screen and translate to many languages. It doesn't just translate Esri's text, but all the text My questions is why isn't this feature available for other Esri Builders (like Experience Builder)? I know you can change the locale, but it only changes Esri's text.

Hello @LondonWalker,

While Hub does have a beta capability that does impromptu translations, the translation capability relies on Google Translate, which has since been deprecated. It is very likely that other apps in the Esri suite do not wish to integrate the technology given that it is no longer supported by Google.

You can read more about manual translations in Hub and the announcement here: https://www.esri.com/arcgis-blog/products/arcgis-hub/constituent-engagement/translating-hub-sites-an...

You can also read Google's official deprecation notice that as of Dec. 4, 2019 the translation toolkit is no longer supported: https://support.google.com/answer/9464390?visit_id=637360522127634509-3696710421&rd=1

I saw in the article that the team is looking for new ways to provide translation. Is this far off or on the roadmap?
