AndroidDeveloperLB Posted March 10, 2016 Report Share Posted March 10, 2016 When going to this website: http://www.svetandroida.cz/sync-me-facebook-201603 Maxthon doesn't offer to translate it, and when I do it manually using the button on the toolbar, it fails. Trying on Chromium, it shows a small popup that asks me if I want to translate to english, and then it really shows the translated page. Please do like on Chromium.

It's working fine in Win7 with 4.9.2.200. Wait for the next release. But are you referring to the Android version? I'm asking to check whether I'm mistaken about what version you mean. <<SL>> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Works absolutely fine (via Translate button). You can always use one of extensions to translate websites - for example http://extension.maxthon.com/detail/index.php?view_id=2954 this one.

I don't use Maxthon on Android. Anyway, I've tested it again, this time at home, and it worked fine. Odd. I will update it at the office and hope it works ok. Also, please offer to translate automatically, for languages that the user cannot read (I can read English and Hebrew, for example). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndroidDeveloperLB Posted March 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2016 I've tested again. At the office it doesn't work, not even with the new version (mx4.9.2.300-beta) .

7twenty Posted March 14, 2016 Report Share Posted March 14, 2016 Works fine here as well. Test without extensions etc. per the troubleshooting thread. 5 hours ago, AndroidDeveloperLB said: I don't want to switch to portable version and lose all my settings. I don't believe that was a recommendation to use the portable as your daily browser. It was a request to test with portable MX to try and determine the issue. Testing with private while a good solution, still doesn't take out variables like extensions and probably some other stuff. The fact that you say you don't have the issue at home points to a userdata issue. Are you using the same Passport on both installs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The advantage is that it can be used anywhere and your settings will follow you. So log in from work, then come home and your favs/qa/history is there for you to continue on with. It won't ruin any settings as it creates a new profile for use which is encrypted. You can import your guest profile if you want. -- But the reason I asked about it is to ensure that it's not the same userdata being used leading to two different scenarios. The fact that it's not in use means that it's almost certainly a userdata issue. So it's not Maxthon but something unique to the data on your work install. To check this is the case, you can create a backup of your work userdata folder, copy over the userdata from your home install and run the work version. Theoretically it should work as expected. Or you could extract the portable version, copy over the work userdata one folder at a time, and check between each copy. If the issue starts happening then you've found the folder/files causing the problem. But it all starts with testing from a clean portable version... which we're still waiting to be done.

Until now, we have not yet provide the "auto-suggests to translate" feature like Chromium. I am so sorry for this. I already transfered your suggestion to our product department. Thanks you help us to improve our browser. For manual traslation, we just tried it. The google traslation have some problem now. you could select baidu traslation.

It auto-suggests to translate, based on the language that the website is. I think the settings of Maxthon should have "never offer to translate to these languages". Since I know English&Hebrew, it doesn't make sense to offer me to translate a Hebrew page to English. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the contrary, it makes eminent sense for all but ssome like you who knoww the websites language. The browser shoulld inquire about whether the user wants the page translated whenever the website language does not match the OS's language setting. Those who know the website language just decline the query and all others (a much larger group) can accept the translation. I think it is much better if one can read something in its orginal language, but that isn't always possibble, so translation is the fallback. <<SL>> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You mean you would prefer each page to be auto-translated without telling the user that it's being translated? If so, you should know that translation utils are better in translating to specific languages than to others. I don't think that translating any language to Hebrew is better than to English, for example. Even though my main language is Hebrew, I would still prefer to translate to English. It should also be easy for the user to know that what is seen is not in his language. Auto-translation will show weird text in this case and also take more time to load each page. Anyway, if you add this, please make it optional: "Auto translate to language X", and "Auto suggest to translate to languages X,Y,Z..." (user choose which languages he knows) .

No, I've encountered websites in another browser, which either the site or the browser (not sure which) would ask if you wanted the site's pages traanslated. The user does get to choose. But I recall that it was translating TO my computer's default language. A translation engine gives the user the option to chose what languages to translate between. I frequently use Google Translate this way. <<SL>> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could at least have settings for it. I've also suggested in the past, that clicking on the "translate" button would work according to the context: if nothing is selected, translate whole page. If a text is selected, translate the text itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
