by ShuMing, 6 years ago说实话,怎么没有以前好用了呢?The new version of Google Translate allows the mainland China network to use it, but when using a network outside mainland China, the translator seems to be sluggish than before? Can you add the international version of Google Translator?
Plus:The translator does not translate the subsequent text in the webpage like before.
Reply:I used the version around June 20 last time, maybe 5.5.1 to 5.5.3? This version can translate subsequent text in web pages. Of course, my address is in mainland China, but I can also access the US network with a very fast speed. I just think the translation speed is slower than before sometimes. As for privacy, if it can makes add ‘s on is easier to use, I choose to trust Google and Yandex. Our goal is to make add‘s on easier to use, right?

posted 6 years agoReply: In version 6.5 released today, are translations faster for you?
Reply: I believe it seems to be slower because the page is translated in one go. And not while scrolling the page.
I will add the option to use widgets instead of my algorithm.
Original:
This extension emerged this year and is gradually evolving. And it was easy to use for a long time, which version did you use before?
I recently stopped using the Google and Yandex widgets and started using my own algorithm on the pages, and this algorithm sends the texts to Google Or Yandex servers. I did this because some pages were not translated with widgets and to ensure more privacy.
During translation Google inverts some words, it is complicated to implement this in my algorithm, so some words are not in the right position.
About translation speed. Yandex translates slower, check in the settings which translation engine is using. If you are using Google and are slow it may be because the translations are done by (translate.googleapis.com) which is an American server. When the translations used the widget, perhaps it was used a server closer.
I'll add a way to use widgets instead of the new algorithms.

- Rated 4 out of 5by phma, 16 days agoI use the non-automatic page translation tool — That's to say if I need to translate a web page, I click [mylanguage] in the TWP toolbar button and the page is translated.
Is there a way to reset the page translation when the URL changes?
Example: To read an article on example.com, I click to translate the page. Then, after reading, I navigate to a different page (still on example.com), and the new page is automatically translated. I’d like the new page not to be automatically translated — I want it to reset in its original language.
I know this is a non-standard request, but would it be possible to have this choice via a checkbox in the settings?
---------------------
Thanks for the reply!
I already had that option set to “No.”
I just tried again and realized I had misunderstood the "issue".
Actually, the site doesn't revert to its original language when I use the Back button (when I go back one page). I guess that's normal.
In the end, I have to refresh the page after using the Back button. That works for me.
Thanks for the quick reply!

Edit August 28:
Hello, I'm back with some additional information regarding my first question.
I was finally able to reproduce the problem:
On YouTube, I'm reading the comments (translated into French) under a video.
Then, I return to the YouTube homepage by clicking on the YouTube logo in the upper-left corner of the page.
When returned to the homepage, the translation is still active.
"Automatically translate when clicking on a link that takes you to the same domain as the current site" is disabled.
Thank you if reading this.Developer response
posted 16 days agoWhat you're asking for is the extension's default behavior. Depending on how the site is built, the behavior may be different.
Check if the option "Automatically translate when clicking on a link that takes you to the same domain as the current site" is disabled. - Rated 5 out of 5by Virtpunk, 18 days agoYes, it stopped working for me too. I completely forgot that I changed the translation service to Bing a long time ago. Now I changed it to Google, and it is the only one that works. And Yandex and Bing both do not work. If possible, please fix it.

- Rated 1 out of 5by CorgiButt, 20 days agoNo longer working. I hope the dev fixes it because this is the best translate tool out there. Will change my rating if they do.
Every other translation extension opens new tabs or popups, this just directly translates onto the page, no need for refresh or anything.Developer response
posted 19 days agoTry restarting your browser. Which translation service are you using? - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13140755, 20 days agoIt no longer works since the last Firefox update (153.0.4).
I have tested all the translation tools available (Bing, Google, Yandex).
My preferred translation tool is Google.
Translating selected text works. Translating the entire page does not work.
The tool’s window says ‘Page translated into German’, but the page is not translated.Developer response

Bing and Yandex stopped working

- Rated 4 out of 5by Xav, a month agoGreat extension, would you make it available for Safari?
A nice improvement would be the possibility to switch easier the translation from one languge to another. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 20022895, a month ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by FieryOx, a month agoGod bless this TWP extension for saving me the trouble of having to go out of my way to right click and translate each text. It can automatically carry out the translation on any webpage for the most part without you needing to go through selecting a text.
- Rated 5 out of 5by zzyzzx, a month agoLooked at a bunch of different translation extensions and this is the only one that is lightweight, unintrusive, not based on a third party LLM, and still powerful enough to dynamically inline translate webpages. Honestly better than Firefox's native implementation.
