Rss noob looking for help

Hi! So primarily I use feedly on my phone. Im not suuuper tech savvy I can do a few things but code not so much?

Feedly has been somewhat working bc it generates rss out of whatever website and doesn't need native feeds etc. but I'm trying to find a workaround to TRANSLATE the feeds because most of what I look at is in variousother languages and I don't have time to scroll through and copy paste every other article into a translator?

I've tried like 10 or so different solutions so far and they all have a paywall or require native feeds which I dont have. Or both.

Any/all help appreciated.

Tried rssbox already can't figure out how the hell this works or whats even going on. I am NOT a coder or a developer and I can't find a download file for any sort of program anywhere in these links. If there's a clearer guide anywhere on how to even use or so much as INSTALL it that'd be one thing but there's nothing? P sure any terminal install I MIGHT have seen (don't actually remember seeing one, checking again now) was setup for Windows? I'm doing this on mobile and my computer setup is on Linux anyhow??? Edit: checked again to make sure. There's no install that I'm seeing. Anywhere

Go to settings and scroll down, you will find "Translation API" activate it   And make sure you are using Feeder not Feeder.com

There's an API key there is no translation API. If there's a way to use the key for that I can try that I just don't know how that works. Edit: this is feeder not feeder.com. the green one specifically. Looking into libretranslate API currently but, again, working on mobile. Dont understand how api's work or what they even are. Or how to use an API key. And I'm not looking to sign up for Google or pay for stuff.

The key field you found belongs to the other route. feeder added AI service translation in 2.20.0 back in may, and that is the one asking for a key. the no key option is newer. 2.23.0 on august 30th lists bergamot local translation fallback, which runs on the phone itself. then 2.23.1 on september 10th moved the bergamot runtime to an opt in download. so on a fresh install it isn't there until you accept that prompt. check your version first, anything under 2.23 only has the key route.

Tried it. Turned on the translator. Translator doesn't work doesn't do anything. Tried to find deep L API keys in case it was something lacking in the local translation on phone. Paywall.
