For English-speaking people, problems of this kind are not very clear. However, try, for example, to go to a German forum and understand something there without speaking German. Or on the Russian-language forum. To quickly translate from an unfamiliar language, Google Translate is used. And it is co…

Isn’t maybe the problem that you switched Discourse interface into your own langage? In this case, the translation of the whole page doesn’t often work anymore as you have two languages mixed together (and the first one appearing is even already your own). You have to leave the Discourse parameters…

[image] Mevo: Isn’t maybe the problem that you switched Discourse interface into your own langage? No, this is definitely not a language confusion problem. Google translate has long been able to properly separate and translate this. In my case, I checked it without even logging into the foru…

[image] Mevo: Isn’t maybe the problem that you switched Discourse interface into your own langage? An interesting fact, if I am not logged into the forum, then the interface is shown to me in my system language and I cannot change it until I enter the forum under my account. If the problem of…

I do believe the mixing languages problem exists (only my own impression). Sometimes, on my end, it even causes to not have the translation available at all (as the browser thinks it’s already in my language). Maybe sometimes (often?) it still works, but I guess sometimes it doesn’t. I have myself …

I tried these 2 sites from English to French on a French Chrome, and it works exactly like you would expect. No problem. I’m not sure there is any kind of global problem here. Maybe on your browser side or some Google limitations on the IP you’re accessing from or something like that? You should try…

Yes, I will definitely check more points now. I don’t like the unpredictability of Google Translate in Chrome on Discourse sites.

I found a solution to the problem with Chrome’s built-in translator so I removed that from the first post. The problem was on my side in the firewall rule. This greatly confused me with inconsistent manifestations. There are still problems with the google translate site (I already found questions a…

[image] Constantinez: I have no doubt that some of the blame lies with this plugin Yes, you will need to report that to the plugin.

Until Google answers me, and I think this will never happen, it might be worth looking at why most Discourse sites have this problem and some don’t. After all, if a bug is in the Chrome browser and it only appears on your site, it is silly to hope that it will be fixed in Chrome. It’s the same here.…

Your own research has already disproven this; for some Discourse sites it works, and others it does not. Therefore the problem is not Discourse.
