Thanks for your concern. I’ve just had limited time to contribute to the plugin and log into the forum recently.

Could the translate button text in dark mode use a lighter color?

@Comfy.n

Fixed! Thanks for pointing that out

Thank you for the plugin, it's working very well on my PC with windows 10.

However I cannot make it to show up on my toolbar of a very old Mac computer.

¿What is the last Mac OS supported?

I'm having Mac OS 10.15.7, Calibre 5.44 and Ebook Translartor 2.4.

TIA,

Could’ve been a bug in 2.4.0 — I’ve just updated to 2.4.1. Give it a try and let me know if it works.

Thank you so much for your reply,

I've just checked it and I can confirm you it is not working yet.

Dear Alexander,

I wonder if an epub ( graphical novel - all images) could be translated in anyway, or any suggestions to get it done please

Hey Guys, newbie here

I have trouble with ebook translator cache, after random windows update and restart, Calibre cant recognise/reload from cache when continue ongoing translation. Do we have any manual reload chance for ongoing translation?

Normally I was disabling windows update but this time I came to suspend limit and automated restart happend and lost my precious translation progress, backed up my previous cache file and waiting your answer

Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to be working. I managed to translate two books before the 8.80 update, and I thought it might be a compatibility issue when I tried translating another book today. I updated to version 8.80 and was unsuccessful in translating. Then, I uninstalled the translator, even removing the archive files, and still nothing. The problem seems to be that at the end of the translation, the Save button is unavailable. After translating a book (the plug-in seems to work fine), I search my entire computer and can't find the translated file. In fact, the Save button is disabled.

Hello. This is my first post. I have discovered this wonderful plugin and I find it to be very useful. Thank you very much for your hard work. I apologize for asking a somewhat difficult question right in my first post, but I would greatly appreciate it if you could consider if this feature is possible.

When translating into Korean with Google Translate, the output often mixes polite and informal expressions. Would it be possible to specify translation conditions, such as "Translate all text into a polite form" or "Translate all text into an informal form"?

I am getting a bug I didn't used to get. When I translate a book, the book name and file name produced look like a randomly generated name, such as 5mmuavzm. The name produced in calibre is also 5mmuavzm, and the author is set to unknown. The output file name is 5mmuavzm.epub. The original book has the correct name and author.

Previously, the translated book received the name of the original book, and also its author, and the epub file reflected those values.

The only thing I changed was to update Calibre. I have since downgraded Calibre to 7.26. The bug remains. I also downgraded the translator plugin to 2.40 and 2.35, and the bug remains.

I can see nowhere to change the output settings in the translator plugin. I suspect the bug is caused by something I have done. Any ideas?

Here is a log output:

[English > French] Translating "Selections from the Prose Works of Matthew Arnold"
InputFormatPlugin: EPUB Input running
on C:\Users\user\Calibre Library\Matthew Arnold\Selections from the Prose Works of (3214)\Selections from the Prose Works - Matthew Arnold.epub

...

EPUB output written to C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Temp\calibre-sk3qr2uv\5mmuavzm.epub
