Expected behavior
What browsers are you seeing the problem on?
Firefox
Anything else?
This is a known issue with the translation engine, I haven't really gotten around to fixing it (since it involves reverse-engineering the memory leak happening in the underlying Google web translation api itself). I'll keep you in the loop
The translation engine's code is at https://github.com/KentoNishi/iframe-translator
Thanks. Additional minor bugs:
- Translation icon without translating: There was nothing translated so why the error?
1.1 Update for point 1: may affect emoticons Update 2: May not. 1.2 And Translate API toggle on memberships … Moderator Links 1.3 Too many links here [4]. So here's a bundle.
- Translation is too extensive: 'Maori' language detected in
lmaooetc. Needs limiter to minimum three/five customizable languages. Will require API reverse engineering. https://github.com/LiveTL/HyperChat/assets/91396482/6b1cf926-7f94-4ccb-a7d2-c63d57937604
