Cannot seem to get it to work :
I have installed the extension and have the translate button appear on my pages. When I click the translate button it takes a while before stopping with either nothing happening or timing out. I have tried with both google API and MS ID. At first it was just not doing anything. I clicked the translate button and then it would say show original. Now it times out.
My server details :
MediaWiki 1.18.1 PHP 5.2.17 MySQL 5.0.91-log
Thanks for any help in advance
I believe this is another case of what I have described in another topic here, see #Local translation memory OK, machine translation doesn't work. The symptomes are the same: long waiting time after pressing the button, then nothing happens. I've figured out that words from the local dictionaries are translated, but Google doesn't seem to receive any requests; at least, the statistics doesn't show anything.
It does sound the same. I will try again when I have more time to setup a sandbox server. Translate would be a fantastic feature to have on my wiki. Let me know if you have any luck.
I've been testing this for some time now. I haven't yet managed to solve the problem, but I have some more input. Web Console window in my Firefox shows the following error when the page is loaded or after the "Translate" button is pressed: "google.language is undefined @ http://10.251.3.35/w19/load.php?debug=false&lang=en&modules=ext.livetranslate%7Cext.lt.google&skin=vector&version=20120730T065951Z&*:12". I wonder why google.language is not being loaded in spite of that "google.load("language", "1");" is the first instruction in ext.lt.google.js. What can be the reason?
Exactly the same problem. Nothing happens.
In our case, the mediawiki is installed completely using spanish language (of course, the pages are in our language too). But we need to translate into english for our usa/uk students.
Maybe, we are all missing a step or making a missconfiguration, aren't we?
Can you help reviewing the steps/config_files?
Thanks!!
