RHT + translation — speak selected text in another language
RHT (Read Highlighted Text) already lets visitors listen to selected text. With real-time audio translation on supported commercial setups, they can also hear that highlight spoken in another language — ideal for multilingual readers without translating the whole page first.
- Why useful — on-demand listen + translate for quotes, definitions, and paragraphs.
- RHT is published by default after Cloud activation — focus on translation settings, not creating the widget.
- Plan-dependent — translation / multi-lang features vary by plan; confirm yours includes them.
- Globe / language list — players can expose translation languages when Translation is configured.

Setup
How to enable RHT translation
- Confirm Cloud is active — RHT is created and published by default.
- Open website Settings → enable Multi-lang if the site language can change.
- If the site translates content on the fly in the browser, enable On-Fly Translation so the player waits for translated DOM text when needed.
- Open the Translation tab (website / player settings) and set the languages (and voices) you want available — this drives the globe / language list in the player.
- Optional: open Widgets → RHT only to adjust voice defaults.
- Save and hard-reload a live page.
Test
How to verify
- Select a short sentence on the live page — RHT should appear.
- Open the language / globe control (when configured) and pick a target language.
- Play — you should hear the selection spoken as a translation (on supported plans), not only the source language.
- If nothing translates, re-check plan entitlements, Translation language list, and Multi-lang / On-Fly options.
FAQ
RHT translation FAQ
-
No. Default voice is the primary narration language. Translation lets visitors hear a selected passage in another language on demand. See also

-
Yes — pronunciation aliases still help brand names in the spoken pipeline. Language-specific alias lines can matter when the spoken language changes.
