deepl translation failing with other base-language than EN

  • Hello there

    We’re trying to translate with deepl.
    So we do what everyone does, register account, save apikey and url, translate.

    Problem is: in your file /pub/js/min/admin.js you have a fixed reference for deepl called:
    source_lang: “EN”

    So basically our (german) texts can’t be translated. Because the main language of our installations are in german this is a problem. Can you make this language configurable?
    I tried it by changing the var to “DE” directly in your file and then translations are showing up as expected.

    FYI:
    In another topic you stated that the green “EN” note is not relevant for loco, but it seems now with deepl it is ??

    Thank you ??

    You are right that Loco Translate does not care what language your sources are actually written in, but making this configurable in the near future is not a priority, because rightly or wrongly it goes against WordPress convention to have a non-English source locale.

    You will have to modify admin.js if you want to get around this for the time being.

    Hi Tim

    Thank you for the fast reply.
    I can understand your argument but I really don’t get it why it’s not way to have a setting because there is a world outside english speaking countries and if you built websites in french or german it makes totally no sense to has english as base-language and translate every string every time ??

    But thanks, have a nice one ??
