I use google translate for a variety of things, most commonly pasting in the URL of a page I want to read in English. (Most commonly from a Japanese site, but many other places as well.)
Unfortunately for me, I have also at various times translated words into languages other than English. This means an extremely common problem for me is that I paste in the URL, the auto-detection guesses that the URL is in English because many site addresses look kinda English-y even though they are foreign, and therefore decides that obviously I want to translate English into something else, and automatically changes my settings. So while the page said Japanese -> English when I pasted in the URL, by the time I hit the translate button it has 'helpfully' changed my settings to something like English -> Greek, and then the resulting page comes out as nonsense. I can bypass this by turning off instant translation, but surely I can't be the only person this happens to? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "General" group.
