Chinese (TW / HK) translation (via Google API) got Simplified Chinese

  • Dear Loco,

    Greeting!

    I’d like to report to you that I was trying to translate on WordPress using your plugin from English into Chinese (Taiwan) via auto Google Translate API and the characters came back showed up as Simplified Chinese (China), not actually Traditional Chinese characters. Same with Chinese (Hong Kong), I saw Simplified Chinese translations showing up not Traditional Chinese.

    Hope you could help fix this!

    Thank you! Have a great day!

    Best wishes,
    Christine

    If zh-TW is being sent to the Google API then I can’t control the correctness of what comes back. Can you confirm what language code is actually being sent to the Google API? Check your browser network inspector to see this.

    Note that Google doesn’t support zh-HK so this will be sent as just zh.

    I checked this and it seems that “zh” is being sent for “zh-TW”. I have fixed this in the Development branch. Can you please confirm it fixes your issue?

    Hello Tim,

    Thank you for your attention with regard to this issue.

    I ran a svn check in command and got file updates (Checked out revision 2330134). I deleted the previous TW translations and added the language back in again. Same Simplified Chinese texts returned from Google API. Unfortunately, I am still seeing the same problem.

    Best wishes,
    Christine

    This does not look like a valid revision for this plugin.

    Check that your plugin version is 2.4.1-dev.

    If my fix fails to work, please check what language code is being sent to Google. Also please show the result you get vs what you expect the result to be.
