Solved I dont understand, google used to translate whole web pages automatic, now does nothing?

I am not a bot. Continue...

You would load a page, and message would appear and ask if you want to translat, or keep original language, it does nothing now.
So I goto extensions, and see there is a google translate extension for chrome, I install it but still nothing.
After install instructions said in a message to click on the extension in the address bar, but icon does not appear.

Google Translate - Chrome Web Store

View translations easily as you browse the web. By the Google Translate team.

chrome.google.com

I uninstalled and just reinstalled, will see if I can figure this out.

BUT whatever I was using before, no need to select any text, the entire page would translate at once.

Already set to on,
English is the browser setting, it just does not work anymore

Just went to Edge, and it is set to on, no translate offer either, I suppose I can try rebooting.
I know it used to work, it is like you dont miss it till it fails. Then you wonder what weird thing happened.

sdowney717 · Apr 13, 2022

I figured it out finally. Google or developer may have changed the way the extension works, it used to pop up and say do you want to translate and gave a bunch of language options.

What you have to do is on the address bar click the dark extension puzzle piece, select 'google translate', a little input window opens, click 'translate this page', I had to click it a couple times, then the translation to English just happens.

I wish it was working like before!
And there is just no telling when someone will mess up stuff.

sdowney717 · Apr 13, 2022

Just in case anyone is wondering.

I just dont see it?

Archigos · Apr 13, 2022

It's usually where I drew the (bad) circle...

sdowney717 · Apr 13, 2022

There is nothing there, no button. All I can click is my sdowney717 user name

Even the space you circled, has no control in that spot.

Archigos · Apr 13, 2022

Oh well, the mods/admins will handle it

The solved button is awol for some users, I couldn't see an obvious reason, but will investigate when I get a minute.

works fine with firefox - you have to allow popups for Google translate if you disabled them

Click the llink - it will appear for a second or 2 in German and then switch to English -- I don't have Chrome but maybe there's a setting also about popups which might be stopping the translation.

@z3r010 the Marked solved is working fine for me with firefox V 99.0

Firefox :

Although I'm on my Linux NAS server currently. Firefox usually behaves identically whether on Linux or Windows in my experience.

Just fired up a Windows 11 VM (latest build - todays) and it's all working properly there too .

cheers
