Translation target language is Albanian instead of Chinese

[andre_2000]

Feature like "last used" option in translate_recent_target field would do the job, I think.

[vwmmw]

After I select the target language I need when translating, I don't need to select the target language again next time. However, whenever I reopen the translation feature, the target language defaults to 'shqip', and I have to reselect the target language every time, which is very inconvenient.)"

@vwmmw That is known an was reported already as a bug/missng feature to bug tracker.

Hi, this does not work, the target language always jump back to the system language.

Cheers, mib

The translation tool that comes with vivaldi is very good, but there is a small problem that has been bothering me. Why is the default translation target language setting unmodifiable?

That is, every time I use the translation function, I have to re-select it (change the default Albanian to the language I want)-I can't find a place to change it in the settings.

Does everyone think this is a problem?

@fowse said in A little doubt about translation tools:

the default translation target language setting

This should be the language(s) you have configured under "Settings/General - Language"
i.e. the "User Interface Language"
although you may select any of "Accept Languages"

See https://help.vivaldi.com/desktop/tools/translate-web-pages/

@TbGbe Thank you.

I have tested on different PC in the past few days, and it‘s not the problem of interface language setting. I think it might have something to do with Lingvanex's default configuration, but I can't verify.

Expect next releases to notice and fix this issue.

@fowse Well, what are your system and Vivaldi versions?

What are your language settings?

There was a problem for Chinese users, see
https://forum.vivaldi.net/topic/74366/translation-target-language-is-albanian-instead-of-chinese

I only mention this because you mention changing from Albanian.

If your language settings are different, then that may not be relevant though.

[fowse]

@TbGbe Thanks again. This reply is bingo. unfortunately, I am a Chinese user.

@fowse, well, the inbuild Vivaldi translator is good for quickly translate a page to Spanish, but apart of this is somewhat limited.
Because of this I use an Desktop app, Crow Translate (FOSS, Multiengine for 125 languages, also Chinese and if you need, even Klingon ), it's very handy, quick, lightweight (~20Mb) and with full customizables keyboard shortcuts and a lot of other features.

@Catweazle Thanks, I'll give it a try. have a nice day.

Sadly still no progress and no dev assigned.

翻译页面，无法自动识别我设置的语言，每次都要手动选择要翻译的目标语言

To translate the page, the language I set cannot be automatically recognized. Every time, I have to manually select the target language to translate.

我的语言为简体中文，My language is Simplified Chinese,

这个问题存在很久很久，希望修复
This problem has existed for a long time, I hope to fix it.

@mahuaer Bad automatic detection is a known issue for the Vivaldi Translator.
Vivaldi team is working with Lingvanex (company which provides the server-sided part of translator), to improve.

@mahuaer See https://forum.vivaldi.net/topic/74366/translation-target-language-is-albanian-instead-of-chinese

[DoctorG]

@TbGbe Ah, you remember the related issue report.

[DoctorG]

Priority of bug report was increased and trued to contact some dev in internal chat.
