by Lizardin'Trenchcoat, 7 years agoAll in all this add on has been a good choice to have, but the newest update has several downsides.
~ T̶h̶e̶ ̶t̶r̶a̶n̶s̶l̶a̶t̶i̶o̶n̶ ̶a̶s̶p̶e̶c̶t̶ ̶h̶a̶s̶ ̶a̶p̶p̶a̶r̶e̶n̶t̶l̶y̶ ̶b̶e̶e̶n̶ ̶c̶h̶a̶n̶g̶e̶d̶ ̶t̶o̶ ̶a̶ ̶P̶r̶o̶-̶o̶n̶l̶y̶ ̶f̶e̶a̶t̶u̶r̶e̶,̶ ̶w̶i̶t̶h̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶ ̶r̶e̶p̶l̶a̶c̶e̶m̶e̶n̶t̶ ̶b̶e̶i̶n̶g̶ ̶a̶ ̶l̶i̶n̶k̶ ̶t̶o̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶ ̶g̶o̶o̶g̶l̶e̶ ̶t̶r̶a̶n̶s̶l̶a̶t̶e̶ ̶w̶e̶b̶s̶i̶t̶e̶.̶
~ I have also found repeated instances of my quick select languages not working or even being reset to the default of none. (I think what happens is whenever I try to change a copyfish setting, it resets all previously altered settings back to the default).
~ When the quick select buttons ARE there, it doesn't allow me to switch between them while it is translating, and so with the removal of the translation feature, it just keeps trying to translate forever. (It seems that I can switch languages while it's still doing the OCR, but when it starts "translating", the buttons all go grey).
These are obvious and newly introduced problems that I feel negatively impact my experience with this add on.
Edit: Unfortunately, uninstalling and re-installing copyfish did not fix any of the issues I have been experiencing, though I understand and sympathize with your provided rational about why you removed the translate feature.

Developer response
posted 7 years ago"Always translate issue" => Please reinstall Copyfish. That should fix this issue. If not, please contact us at team @ ocr.space.
The translation feature had to be moved to the PRO+ plan, because the translation API provider raised the prices dramatically - so we can no longer afford to offer it for free.
