X3Photo Gallery Forums

The new Google translate mechanism is causing Javascript errors in the X3 application. I sent Google feedback about this. Their new approach is not safe, because it takes the source codes and injects Javascript and CSS, breaking X3.

Google Translate doesn't work, but there are several Chrome browser extensions that work. For example:
https://immersivetranslate.com/
https://sider.ai/lp/translate1





If Google translate breaks dynamic pages (like X3), there is not much I can do about that ...

Ok I got it. Is this really required though? I don't see many websites that do this any more, and I can't imagine many people who don't speak the language of the website, just happening to land on the website. It doesn't provide any seo benefits or anything, and will basically display for all visitors, unnecessarily, even those that speak German.

I'm sorry. Google translate injects lots of stuff into the page when it translates it, and this breaks the X3 application logic. I can't just rebuild X3 around Google translate. In a future major release, it would probably be done entirely differently, but in X3, unless Google changes how it translates page, I can't just "make an external service that injects lots of stuff" work on dynamic pages like X3.
