I really enjoyed the Tamil horror story, The Magic Well, but I can't read it fully in the app because I don't understand Tamil. I could translate it using Google Translate in Chrome, but I can't use the translator within the app to read other chapters. Please allow Google Translate in the app so I and other users can translate stories into different languages. I kindly request you to enable this feature.

Earlier, Pratilipi allowed readers to open and read stories directly through Chrome/browser, which made the platform easily accessible to everyone. Now, forcing readers to download the app just to read a story is a very disappointing decision. Not everyone wants to install another app just to read content.
