Suddenly Reappearing | Google Translate Banner

    Good Day,

    For years, we’ve been using your plugin in combination with the meta tag <meta name="google" content="notranslate" /> before the head to disable the Google translate navigation bar (i.e., banner) that Google injects at the top of our website when selecting a different language.

    Unfortunately, that is no longer working. Today, the banner started to reappear when we select a different language. We haven’t changed anything in the backend. Looks like Google is toying with their code once again.

    Details: https://prnt.sc/ADqNLFc79YdN

    Any advise or leads on how to fix this without using a CSS Rule?

    Thank you!

    Update:

    So, after some research, we found a CSS Rule that took care of our issue:

    body > .skiptranslate {
    display: none;
}

    Still, we’re wondering what happened and if there’s an alternate non-CSS solution to fix this issue (e.g., via updated meta tag, etc.)

    I’m also having the same issue. It seems to work as intended on desktop it’s just a visual issue.

    However, there may be some functionality issues with it on mobile. I’m having issues with the language not translating and having to refresh the page multiple times to get the translation. I’m also not able to toggle between translations and once I translate one time I’m unable to translate again. This is when not in Incognito Mode.

    Hi @chargeup,

    Thanks for confirming our finding. Concerning your other (functionality) issue, you may want to open your own topic to prevent any confusion.

    Again, thank you.

    Will do for sure.

    Hi,

    Please update to the latest version, go to GTranslate Settings page, click Reset code to default under Widget code section and save the changes.

    Thanks! ??
