New Product: Proton Translate
Online and in-person translation is an intimate and private affair, which shouldn't be collected by large companies such as Google and Microsoft, which are the leading translation services. Proton should offer a private alternative that enables users to translate phrases, words, and their screen so they can best communicate, breaking down language barriers in a safe and secure setting. Additional features would include conversation mode and starring favorite words/phrases. Making a better internet starts with ensuring we can fully understand each other, no matter the language.

When using translation functions, a large amount of information is handed over to Google/Microsoft. If you use a browser translation plugin, all information on the entire webpage (including but not limited to account information and chat history) is at risk of being leaked. This means that if a leak occurs, almost all of your online activities can be reconstructed, which is a disaster, especially for people with poor English skills.
