Hi, Is it possible to add free of charge Google Translate option for machine translation or only Google Translation API based on Cloud Translation pricing?

    From the error message it looks to me like RH doesn't like the // format of the google translate URL.

     

    I'd suggest confirming with support. See the following page for support contact options. The email address is recommended as it goes to a dedicated Robohelp team.

      All I can say is that RoboHelp is seeing that link as incorrect. The file is not where that path is pointing.

        The second yellow warning is telling you that somewhere in your project you have a link that is incorrect. The link to element.js is wrong so as the message says, it has not been uploaded. It follows it will not work.

        Thank you, @Peter Grainge. Can you share any clue how to fix element.js?  If this is not supported by RH, please let me know and I won't waste time.

        You reference the element.js javascript twice in what you posted. You don't say what problem you are encountering, but you could try to remove the first reference that's in the <head> section of the page.

         

        For more information about the google products and their licensing terms and availaility, you'll need to check their website as they will have the latest information.

          Thank you for your reply, @Amebr. I removed the reference from the <head> section, but it didn't change much.

          The problem is - only the text appears on the page as in the screenshot, there is no dropdownlist with language selection,

          there is also a warning in generated output. Did someone test it if it actually can work in the RoboHelp?

          I believe the free option can be used but I am not 100% sure. Try it.

            Hi @Peter Grainge,

            I am getting back to this topic, testing the code, but the results are not so good.

            I took the instructions from that I found the most clear ones from https://codingdiksha.com/google-translate-code-in-javascript/ 

            I added it into the master page, could you take a look if I might miss something or it is just not supported?
