Add translation service to Brave

See original GitHub issue

Description

We have a translation service that is available in Nightly 1.42.x which can be enabled via brave://flags/#brave-translate-go

Some specific issues have been captured and labeled with brave-translate

This issue is intended to track work required before we can release Brave Translate

Test Plan

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1hADNy20_UIXMe2vXFrTFfpB5NCGK6hBtNVXJBYIJLds/edit

  1. No UseBraveTranslateGo feature (Desktop) old bubble to suggest Google extension is used; (Android) no translate UI or attempts to translate pages;

  2. (Desktop) UseBraveTranslateGo + enabled Google Translate extension “Google Translate extension” should be used instead of the build-in translation

  3. (Desktop) Migration “Offer to translate pages that aren’t in a language you read” preference should be enabled at the first launch with UseBraveTranslateGo feature (if was disabled before) The preference is now unsynced => old version users shouldn’t have the preference changed.

  4. (Desktop) Enabled UseBraveTranslateGo feature In general, the behavior should be the same as in Chrome. The difference:

  • limited language support;
  • no google icon;
  • another engine to translate => translated text is expected to be different.

What should be checked:

  • foreign language detection (the bubble to translate should be shown when visiting a site in a language that is not listed under settings > languages)
  • manual translation from the bubble/context menu.
  • “Always Translate" for language (enable “always translate <language>” in bubble and navigate to a site in <language>)
  • never translate option for language/site
  • UI elements interaction (i.e. change the translate direction/revert/etc)
  • Enabling/disabling translate on brave://settings
  • Translation from the context menu when page language wasn’t detected

Doesn’t seem to work. The prompt for language translation shows to install Google Translate extension
