My goal is to send some English-speaking people a link to view the one or another topic on my forum, even if it is only auto-translated.
So I tried Google Translate on my German page:
+http://entwicklergate.de/t/php-laravel-mit-visual-studio-debuggen/159
It generates me this URL:
+http://translate.google.de/translate?hl=de&sl=de&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Fentwicklergate.de %2Ft%2Fphp-laravel-mit-visual-studio-debuggen%2F159&sandbox=1
(I’ve added this + to prevent the preview here)
The “blank” page looks like this:
I’ve checked in different browser, with the same result.
I’ve also tried Bing Translator:
+http://www.microsofttranslator.com/bv.aspx?from=&to=en&a=http%3A%2F%2Fentwicklergate.de %2Ft%2Fphp-laravel-mit-visual-studio-debuggen%2F159
With a similar result:
My questions
Am I doing something wrong here?
Is this a known issue?
Any workaround?
It is unlikely these sites can understand a JavaScript app like Discourse. There is a translation plugin here in the #plugin category.

From what I can see in the dev tools console it looks to me that the translate.google page has cross-site access issues with loading the iframe content.

Thanks, I’ve installed and configured this plug-in .
Currently, I see no translation icon as described in the above linked description, but maybe I have to wait some time…

Turn it on in your site plugin settings

I did, of course. Probably my browser language will trigger the visibility of the icon.
Update I’ve set browser language to “en” (my forum is German). Still no icon visible (non-logged-in user).
Did you fix it. I’m facing the same problem right now
