[object window], “random lyrics text” and other failed translations

Hi there!
I’m happy for you, but in my case I’m not able to reorder translation engines.

Hello,

If you go back to a previous version of WordPress temporarily it will allow you to choose another search engine or you can modify the configuration file manually to change the engine, it does not allow you to modify the search engine in the latest version of WordPress, I have also had that problem.

Uhm… I was wonderingif…
Do we have a version which this plugin became incompatible?

I have tried with several previous versions and with previous versions it allows to change the search engine, but the problem: “[object window]” with previous versions still appears, it seems that it is a problem with Google Translator, I suppose that the plugin creator will tell us something soon, although we are thinking about updating the plugin by our own if the creator allows us, because it is a pity that there is no support.

Transposh page at www.ads-software.com states:
“This plugin has been closed as of February 7, 2022 and is not available for download.”

For me, it looks like all the old content and translations still working. I have published the last time in August 2020. Just trying to publish a new post and with it, I have the same problem.

Lets hope the problem will be solved. I’m also willing to pay to keep thin plugin alive and updated.

MSN API key

Microsoft translator used to use the Bing AppID methodology for authentication.

This has changed to use the Windows Azure Marketplace oAuth-based authentication, for which you get a client id and a client secret.

The author of the WordPress plug-in would have to update their plug-in to allow you to use the new methodology (it’s not simply replacing the app id, there’s some change in code required)

I have already seen it and yes it is so, my doubt is if the plugin developer is going to update it because it does not say anything.

@andreascarfo you contacted me directly, but with an invalid email, so you didn’t get my answer,

Basically, switch to bing as your default translation engine for the time being.

@diferenty the plugin is GPL, you may release a new version of your own, for a fee or whatever you wish, as long as you keep releasing the source code.

Regarding the general issue of supporting the plugin, or the plugin being nearly dead. I have no real comment about it, I have devoted a lot of time for plugin development, much more time for supporting users. And I currently have other stuff that is more important to me (and Transposh never picked up enough traction to become a viable business). It does not mean I will not find the time to fix things and release new versions in the near future. However – some stars need to align first.

Ofer Wald, You can’t imagine how grateful users like me are and hopefully future pro clients (if the stars align!!!), that today we use this development (plugin) for our Projects. We care a lot about the future and above all we value the effort made by you.

Thanks to all the participants for detecting and providing possible solutions.

Many of us are currently using WP(5.9), and it is not possible to change the default search engine from the plugin admin panel.

I would be grateful if someone contributes a manual solution, changing the php code, to force the plugin to use Bing as the priority default translation engine for the moment.

Long live Transposh.

@uojose I reverted to the WordPress 5.8.3 installation with the “WP Downgrade | Specific Core Version plugin”, activated bing as translation engine and upgraded back to WordPress 5.9.

Thank you @pirizoe. Did you translate all again after doing this? I managed to do this, but translations still don’t work.

And thank you too @oferwald, this plugin has been amazing.

@heinihoo Bing Translator ends up translating post completely; it takes time to do it, but it does it.

Hello There,

There is a wordpress regression with jQueryUI, see this ticket:
https://core.trac.www.ads-software.com/ticket/54902

So everything will work again on WP 5.9.1 (hopefully)

For now, I have an ugly manual hack for you guys which is simpler then downgrading and upgrading again. (this is for you @uojose)

Use your browser, click the translation engine you want to demote and choose inspect. Then in the html, right click and choose delete node. The element should disappear. Now click the submit to save your changes, and the translation engine that you removed will be moved to the last place.

@oferwald Thank you for the hack ??
