Google Translate fails on open pdf files in Google docs. Attempts to call Google Page Translate function via browser tab from the following Google docs page:
https://docs.google.com/leaf?id=0B7aIxOg73jKcNDM5MTYzN2QtNTc3ZC00YzAyLWFlODQtNDBlMDM1MWE4ODhk&sort=name&layout=list&pid=0B7aIxOg73jKcNDdmNTE4M2UtNzg5Yi00YmI2LTlkY2QtMWNjNDhkYmY1ZTI4 gives following puzzling result: Sorry, this URL is invalid http://docs.google.com:443/fileview?id=0B7aIxOg73jKcNDM5MTYzN2QtNTc3ZC00YzAyLWFlODQtNDBlMDM1MWE4ODhk and pasting the URL into google translate gives the same result, but a different url (NB: neither error message shows the actual URL of the page): Sorry, this URL is invalid http://docs.google.com:443/fileview?id=0B7aIxOg73jKcNDM5MTYzN2QtNTc3ZC00YzAyLWFlODQtNDBlMDM1MWE4ODhk&hl=en_US Instead of simply calling Google Page Translate with a single click on the appropriate tab on my browser, I have to do the following: 1. open Google Translate in a new browser window 2. download the text of the chapter I want to translate onto my hard drive 3. open the downloaded pdf file 4. select and copy the text of the file 5. paste the text into the Google Translate window 6. click translate One other interesting quirk evoked by this experiment is that, when the real URL is entered in the Google Translate translation window, and Google Translate language selection is left on the automatic setting, the URL is detected as "Hungarian!" -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "General" group.
