Free & Private AI Translations in Drupal - Running Directly in the Browser
What if you could translate content in Drupal using AI - completely free and without sending data to external services?
In this video, I show how to use the Google Chrome built-in Translator API together with the Drupal Browser Provider and AI Translate module to run translations directly inside the user’s browser.
That means:
* No external API calls
* No third-party data sharing
* True privacy
* Zero cost per translation
Everything runs locally via Chrome’s built-in AI capabilities.
In this walkthrough, I show:

If you're working with AI in Drupal and care about privacy, cost control, or local-first architecture — this is a powerful setup.
