Cannot select translation target language in Orion mobile

ErikMH

Using the current version of Orion on the current release version of iOS on an iPhone 15 Pro, tapping the target language button may or may not shift the focus (indicated by the focus ring), but does not ever reveal the dropdown menu for selecting Spanish.

True for the KT mobile and desktop sites. Relaunching Orion doesn’t help. Turning off content blockers doesn’t help.

The dropdown menu should drop down.

Hey, I can't reproduce and I got the same exact phone and version :/.
Could you check if this is still happening for you? We pushed some changes today to the mobile UI shortly after your message, so they might've already solved it.

I'd missed the Orion update from three days ago, but updating had no effect.
Your site update had no effect.
I closed the page, force-quit Orion, and loaded the page in a new tab: no effect.
Restarting my iPhone 15 Pro had no effect.
Most other controls on the page also did not work.

Finally, I noticed that "Reader Mode" was enabled; attempting to turn it off gave me an error message telling me that "Reader Mode is unavailable for this page," but it remained checked and the page still did not work.

However, going in to "Website Settings" showed that "Use Reader Mode Automatically" was toggled ON. (Why?? And why would it have had an effect on pages where Reader Mode is unavailable?) Toggling it off solved everything, which makes me happy.

I'm swamped, and so cannot this month submit a separate bug report for Orion Mobile, which can apparently get into a pseudo-Reader Mode-esque state for a site. Perhaps you all could just add it to a list of things to look into?

Many thanks for all the Kagi services and apps. Having a "Spanish (Perú)" choice when Apple's translation app doesn't even have a "Spanish (Latin America)" choice is so wonderful! — Kagi Translate was already a good bit better than DeepL, and this has improved things so very much more!!
