Log translate

Gary Sheppard shared this problem 30 days ago
Not a Problem

When clicking on view logs on a geocache dashboard i am presented with a list of previous logs. When I click on a log and select translate I am presented with options to share the log. The log isn't translated and I can't see any other option to translate.

Hi Gary,

when you tap "translate," you are presented with a list of apps that your operating system considers for processing the text. To translate the log, select a translating app, e.g. Google Translate:

Hi.


I am not presented with that menu when I select translate. I am presented with a "share text" menu...screen shot attached.

Also, this is the menu I get when I click a log and choose to translate it.

Please install the latest beta version of Lous Map from our public repo at https://bit.ly/lmVersionsTest and try it again. The sequence of screens should be like this:

Thanks for the support. Apologies for this stupid question: how do I get/use the beta version? I see 3 files plus a readme. Which of the 3 app files do I need? I guess i need to enable developer mode to install them?

Install the middle one. The first file is the Classic version, the last one has "all files access" permission, which is denied to the production version by Google, so it's sort of a hack.

Hi. LM4.31.3.5, has the same result. The pop up is titled "Sharing text.

Could you please take a screen video of your actions leading to the "sharing" dialog? Here's mine: https://drive.google.com/file/d/18CdNipJoQkOCD3ENetOyBsqxZhWkrPFK/view?usp=sharing

This also happens when I select translate from the geocache hint popup window.

As I've been told by the devs, to open the selection of apps for translation, Locus Map sends a character string "Translate with" to the operating system. Unfortunately, some types of mobile phones ignore this string and display a closest substitute, "share with" in your case. Nevertheless, you should find Google Translate among the apps too.

Thanks for this. Selecting "more" let's me pick google translate to share with, and this then opens and translates the text. Having done that once, Google translate is listed higher up in available apps to share with so I no longer need to press "more".
