No, if the game doesn't include it only way is to use Google translator.

You will have to translate it yourself. Steam will never offer a translation service because those are extremely expensive.

oh im sure some AI translator cant be that expensive.
This whole site should be available in our language of choice.
Steam is not some corner store in a village kinda proffits.

They are in fact very expensive. I highly recommend you do a bit of research on this subject. It doesn’t matter how rich Steam / VALVE is, it’s a service they won’t be making any money from only a loss.

Steam are never going to implement a translation service when users can translate posts themselves for free.

There's a transactional difference between Steam offering a translation button redirecting to Google Translate and you copying said content manually to Google Translate. The difference is 20 USD per million words it would cost Valve to provide this function.

If 1% of the concurrent users (400k users of 40M) would translate the above paragraph (39 "words"), it would cost Valve 312 USD. If they cache the result and the hitrate is 97%, it would still cost Valve 9.36 USD. Just for these 39 words alone.

The pocket lint Gabe has is worth more than that.
I just wanted it to be brough to attention that this is possible and i would surely enjoy more this game because al lthe walkthroughs and stuff are in another language and i would love to just have auto translator everywhere so i can just see it in my language and use it.

Alas i understand that this extra cost seems astronomical and surely break steam bank.

He surely did not earn that money by throwing it away in a feature that browsers have built-in. At this very moment you could do the same but for some reason wants Gabe to use his money to create the same thing.

It sure is easy to spend money when it isn't yours.

As said, Valve would have to license one of the established AI-backed translation services which aren't cheap when put to scale.

Valve is also not going to waste millions or even billions of dollars in getting the required server farms as well as software to develop and use their own large language model just so you can forego doing ctrl-a, ctrl-c, alt-tab, ctrl-v.
