Hi team:
Thanks for the great plugin which helps me a lot.
Recently I found there’s an issue about the language detect, the new posts always couldn’t be detected the original language.
### Message
RuntimeError (The translator is unable to translate this language.) /var/www/discourse/plugins/discourse-translator/services/discourse\_translator/google.rb:70:in `translate’
### Backtrace

### Env

| --- | --- |
| process\_id | 180 |

thanks to Sam, for your quick reply, yes, 100% reproducible, the Chinese text is:
> 还真是，新发布的帖子调用 MS 翻译都是报错，老的就没问题，为何内。
I have recorded a screen for this, you may see from that the new text had this issue, but the former post is OK.
I am using the MS translate.
Please check it out here, thanks!

@Luke_Cheng Can you try upgrading to the latest? @pmusaraj might have fixed it in
[https://github.com/discourse/discourse-translator/commit/fb77ef1b5186e80f1d91ca8d4923f19e933dddba](https://github.com/discourse/discourse-translator/commit/fb77ef1b5186e80f1d91ca8d4923f19e933dddba)
as I’m unable to reproduce the issue.
