Hi! Sorry, but the plugin stop working! Any update?

The widget stopped showing on the website after several months of working.

The error I am seeing in the java console is: Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading ‘id’)
at googleTranslateElementInit

website is at https://lohre.com

I’ve installed the plugin and it works fine on the desktop, but when it’s viewed on a mobile device, the drop down menu is obscured, which makes the plugin hard to use on a mobile.

So I have enabeld the default widget location and moved it to the right hand corner using some CSS. But when I open the website in a new browser or on mobile, the button doesn’t appear until I have clicked on something or somehow interacted. Any ideas regards to that?

I’ve already excluded the minimizing of the js from Autoptimize…

My site original language is in French. And my browser is in English.

If I chose “English” in the dropdown menu, the word for “French” in the Dropdown is replaced by the word “English”. See image. The French flag is there to see that the language is French, but it’s written “Englisch”.

When using Language code, the problem doesn’t happen. And if I choose Russian, the language name is correctly shown. And here, the dropdown with language name + code. For the French (the original site language), it’s written English – FR. Which is wrong.

Any idea how to fix that?

Hey guys! Not sure why but when I put the drop-down menu it appears a weird “margin” or something like that on top of every page. I’m using WordPress and Divi theme. Can’t find the error or how to solve it and the plugin is amazing so I’d like to keep using it. Thanks in advance!

I’m facing issues when enabling the server side cache (LiteSpeed) on my WordPress installation. I’ve enabled the automatic translation on my side to match the visitors OS language. This works great, until I enable the LiteSpeed cache plugin (default configuration). Then, all users see my OS language instead of their own. Do you have any hint on how to solve that? There are tons of settings in light speed. How does the automatic translation work? Is it some javascript running when opening the side. Any hint is appreciated.

Thanks, Pascal

Can I use this plugin with Polylang? I’d like to translate selected languages manually and use automatic translation for the rest of the languages.

Hi, I use your plugin and when I translate, in this case Swedish, some of the menu names are shown in small letters for example Shop (in English) aff?r (that’s shop in Swedish) is shown in small letters at the beginning.. the same with Industries its shown industrier. everything else is displayed correctly in capital letters.

Is there a way with this plugin to prevent it from translating certain names? For my portfoliowebsite, the name is UnlockThePicture. But the plugin translates it to something else which looks really weird. How can I prevent this and keep it showing as “UnlockThePicture” instead of a translated version of the name?

Hello,

I love this plugin so i made some changes to make the button float and appear on all devices.

Here is what i did:

First add the function to your theme ( i recommend MU-PLUGIN)

function display_shortcode_as_float_button() {
        // Add your shortcode here
        $shortcode = '[auto_translate_button]';

        // Generate the HTML for the floating button
        $html = '<div class="floating-button">';
        $html .= '<div class="floating-button-content">' . do_shortcode( $shortcode ) . '</div>';
        $html .= '</div>';

        // Output the HTML
        echo $html;
}
add_action( 'wp_footer', 'display_shortcode_as_float_button' );

Next, some extra CSS

/* CSS for the floating button */

.auto_translate_minimalist .wpat_lang_item.wpat_lang_selected {
  border-color: #f0f0f0;
  border-width: 0px;
  margin-top: 16px;
	max-width: 80px !important;
	background-color: #EBA11C;
	color: white;
	margin-top: 0px;
}
#auto_translate_button_wrapper {
	min-width: 80px !important;
}

body > .skiptranslate:first-child {
    display: none;
}

/* CSS for the floating button */
.floating-button {
    position: fixed;
    bottom: 20px;
    left: 20px;
    z-index: 9999;
    /* Add any additional styles for the button's appearance */
}

#auto_translate_button_wrapper:not(.wpat_float) .wpat_minimalist_dropdown {
 /*Make it drop up*/
    top: auto;
    bottom: 100%;
}

My plugin settings:

Style: flags
Widget type: minimalist
Text displayed: Language code
Chevron style: none
Default Location: off
Show in Menu: none

Hope you like it ??

Hi,

so far I have tested your plugin it seems to be the best of its kind ??

One question: is it possible to change the flag icon? For example for Englisch show the Stars and Stripes instead of Union Jack – or in my case: show the Austrian flag instead of the German one?

Hello, I have used your plugin but I need to remove google bar because it gives me accessibility contrast errors that I cannot fix.

Please help!

Hello,
please can you help? The grey Google translate bar begin to appear on all my page after i choose another language.
I’m on the last version of the plugin.
Thank you very much.

Hi there,

I use your plugin to display the widget on mobile in the top bar but then on desktop and mobile I have a section in the footer where I also placed the widget (tried using both the shortcake and widget). The issue is that when I preview the footer using Elementor it appears, when I check the live website as a visitor and it doesn’t and I don’t know why.

I really like your translator on my new site. However, when I view on my cell phone, the drop-down list of languages partly covers my company logo. Is it possible to move the location of the drop-down so that it doesn’t do this? thanks!

Hi, guys –

The styles I selected for my widget (Classic mode) suddenly disappeared when I checked my site today. The globe icon, text and background for the dropdown menu were in orange. There was also no box shadow on the dropdown. Any idea what might have caused this change?

Hi There,

The Language selection dropdown list party is covered by another element on the header of my website whenever the minimalist Widget type is used.

Site 1
https://prnt.sc/sMjiiC_ki2wy

Site 2
https://prnt.sc/OwXzlqOCn-xa

Any way to fix this, please?

But the classic Widget type is fine.

Thank you

Hello,
Is there a way to mark a specific word so that it is skipped from translation?

I first noticed that the translator shows up on Chrome but not on Firefox for my test sites: https://massyinmotion.com/massy100/ and https://futuregram.io/pannotation/shop/. The first site is on Kinsta with their caching enabled and the other is on Siteground with their SG Optimizer enabled. I am not seeing options to disable file caching on either site.

There is no dropdown menu and doesn’t appear to be translating when I go to the activity page and scroll the posts. I have it installed on a buddyboss site. Not sure what is causing this.

Hello

I am developing a site for the Edmonton Aboriginal Seniors Center in Edmonton Alberta. The languages I need to translate to are not listed here. As the name of the site suggests these are aboriginal / indigenous languages. Cree, Dené and Blackfoot. Does your plugin offer the ability to add custom languages

Heya,

I am looking for a script that can make the translated content available on Google, for better SEO results and traffic from other locations.

Does this plugin provide this?

How can I get the list of languages visible without one element covers part od it?

On my website the drop down menu works well but the German and English flags won’t allow me to click on them. The menu just closes and the website stays in the current language when I try to select English or German.

Hi there,
I’ve enabled the plugin and set the widget to display the default position and tried within the primary menu however I don’t see it on the website.

Please advise.

Hi,

Our widget is not showing in theme Shopkeeper (up to date)
We tried some other solutions posted in other topics.
Unfortunately we cant get it to work.

For some reason the language switcher widget code is not fully implemented.
We disabled and deleted the caching.
We also disabled all other plugins. No difference.
But after changing the theme we noticed it was working properly.

Website url

Is there any way we can fix the widget on the shopkeeper theme?

Thanks in advance

HiThere,

Thank you for this awesome plugin!

How to increase the dropdown language list font size, please?

I tried the below, but the changes are not applying.

.goog-te-combo, .goog-te-banner *, .goog-te-ftab *, .goog-te-menu *, .goog-te-menu2 *, .goog-te-balloon * {
    font-family: arial;
    font-size: 18pt;
}

Thank you

Thank you for this awesome plugin!

One issue we are facing right now is:
When you toggle pages around on the mobile browser (chrome and safari),
Sometimes the dropdown wouldn’t show up and the page doesn’t get translated.

Scenario:
Select a language from the drop-down ->
Translate current page (works fine) ->
Click any links on the page and go to the next page (works fine) ->
Click the go back button on the browser to go to the previous page (translated short code stopped working) ->
Refresh the page (it works again)

Is it one of the plugin’s limitations? Or is it a conflict with other plugins?

Hi,

I like your plugin. It works without issues on desktop, but on mobile or tablet the translate button doesn’t show up.

I inserted the shorcode in the menu [auto_translate_button]. I have a vertical menu on my website.

I hope you can assist. Maybe I missed a step and can’t get it to show up on mobile menu.
