Kagi Translate Feedback

@Vlad in general I Kagi translate, but the last two days it seems to have stopped working altogether. Just endless crawling-three-dots where the translation should appear. Doesn't seem to matter what platform or browser I'm using (data points: Orion and Firefox and Safari in MacOS, Orion in iOS), nor which languages I'm trying to use. What happened? Did someone knock the translate server plug out from the wall?

Donno what other details I could provide; are there logs I should look at or something?

Uno-Selecta Thanks! This has been fixed now

BenH @vlad So it has; everything's working normally now. I'm curious; what caused the problem?

Please display the translation for each sentence, similar to Cosense. Thank you.

Hello!

When trying to translate https://doc-kr.qudelix.com/5k from Korean to English, an error message appears in the iframe area instead of the translated website.

"Application error: a client-side exception has occurred (see the browser console for more information)."

Environment

Firefox 133.0.3 (64-bit) on Linux

Steps to reproduce

1. Go to https://translate.kagi.com
2. Paste https://doc-kr.qudelix.com/5k in the source textarea beneath "Auto-detect language" (at left). After a moment, the source language is detected correctly as Korean; the source language drop-down menu changes as expected.
   
3. Click the hyperlink in the output textarea beneath "English" (at right)
4. Error: "Application error: a client-side exception has occurred (see the browser console for more information)."

I hope this helps you with your problem-determination efforts. Please let me know if you need any further information.

Thanks and make it a great day!

The "Verify you are human" captcha times out very aggressively.

I run all my web traffic through a Hetzner Cloud VM, so I'm not particularly surprised I get the captcha. I am however surprised that it seems to time out after a minute of inactivity and asks me to click the button again. And again one minute later. And again. I think the timeout could be a bit more generous, especially given that I'm logged in throughout all of this.

I frequently notice that the translation voice output cuts off.

Two examples.

1) The voice output from the translation source. The translation played normally and in full.

2) The voice output from an English translation into German.

They just randomly stop abruptly, sometimes mid-word or sentence.

Vlad

I can reproduce by just adding text to either of the fields and hitting the speaker icon for the voice output. It seems to be random as to when and how often it cuts off.

Safari Version 18.3 (20620.2.2), Wipr 2 content blocker extension.

I can attempt to reproduce this with Orion and Firefox to see if it's related to Safari or not.

Vlad oh my god

now that is cool. You should broadcast this capability more. Not only did I not know, I am not sure I ever even would have guessed.

scvalex Strange... This shouldn't be happening if you're logged in. I've pushed an update that might have fixed it. Let us know if it's still happening!

BenH Awesome, thanks Ben for the fast response! I'll check back after the next changelog.

Vlad

Adding to the help page would be good start at least

I use Auto Tab Discard in Firefox, which unloads inactive tabs. When I opened an unloaded Translate tab it appeared to shift the translation target language one language up in the list, without updating the UI:

"Emoji Speak" is above English and is what the target seems to have been set to. Obviously a very minor bug but still was a little startling to run across haha

It would be nice if Translate could either remember the last language pair, or at least keep the last 2-4 used languages in the top of the drop down menu (with a horizontal bar to separate then from the full language list).

Most often I want to translate from one specific language (Danish) to another specific language (English), and it would be easier if I didn't have to adjust the source language every time (Danish is often confused with Norwegian, so the “Detect Language“ option is sometimes suboptimal).
