Any plans to include that directly into android app? Feels fairly obvious to me as a user - I went there automatically after the news dropped, but.... not there yet ;)

How would you want to see that integrated?

Are there any small LLMs intended for translation between two languages? It would be much more convenient to use offline, albeit being slower.

You do not need your own browser. Keep Firefox alive.

I beg to differ. The web does not need more ad-supported browsers. Orion is built for the users and paid for by the users. It stands against all that is wrong with the web today - advertisers and third parties tracking at every step - perhaps like Firefox used to do 15-20 years ago. We need more of Orion today, and more than ever.

I think the community needs more browser options, sure, but I don't understand why Kagi needs Orion. It seems like a distraction to your core competencies. I'm curious if the writing is on the wall for search alone?

Nothing fancy.

Two text fields with send button. Accessible from hamburger menu. Or as another button below search entry box. Search box transforms into the first language text field.

It would be very handy if you allow putting text in query string for translate.

Example for google translate: https://translate.google.com/?text=%s

EDIT: You already supported it! Nice, didn't see it mentioned anywhere. This works: https://translate.kagi.com/?text=%s

I wonder how do we set language in query string? And can we execute search immediately on visit instead of needing to hit the Translate button?

I can't use it because I'm not classified as "human" by a computer. There is no captcha that I could get wrong, just a checkbox that probably uses a black box model to classify me automatically Was curious after the post claimed that the quality is better than Google and DeepL, but the current top comment showed translations from Afrikaans that it got wrong but I could understand as a Dutch person who doesn't even sp…

> Afrikaans that it got wrong but I could understand as a Dutch person who doesn't even speak that language

The one language is basically a derivative of the other. Understanding and judging accuracy of translation are quite different though.

eg for me it’s the reverse - can understand large parts of Dutch due to Afrikaans. Couldn’t tell you if a Dutch sentence is correctly translated or grammatically correct though

I love Kagi but why another product? They’re taking on more and more (search, browser, AI, translate) and I rather wish they'd focus on the other stuff instead

By not having a puzzle-less/unsolvable captcha, or what do you mean?

Yes, exactly they don’t have it. Of course there must be a reason for that. Any other tech for example?

Google does have a captcha on Google Search. Using it through Tor is an exercise in frustration.
