It doesn't work when I set Kindle language option to German. (it works in English)

I see Google Translation in menu. I select it and get error message in German, something like : "It can't start this aplication. Please restart Kindle and try again!". I restart Kindle but it the problem still there.

Can you fix it?

Thanks Millions.
Worked for Arabic but sometimes not retrieving the translations.
once more, any chance to make default pair of languages to translate between as it is sometimes giving unknown for the source language.

Ahoj Davide,
I have the exact same problem here, my Kindle is running in German, and I have successfully installed the Jailbreak and AcXE, and I can chose Google Translation in the menu, but I get the same error message (in German) - the application can't be started.
I'm running 5.4.3.2

Any ideas?

Díky!

There isn't much I can do with it. The translator should however remember the last selected language...

I'm sorry for the mistake in German localization files, it should be fixed in the latest release.
I decided to stop supporting the 'replacement' variants as it made the updating process too complex and error-prone. They do not work as expected in the latest PW firmwares anyway.

Most likely, but the update package might need to be repacked with the latest KindleTool snapshot.

I have a Kindle PW2 5.4.5.1. I tried to install google translate, but does't work, I don't know why, because Kindle said update was successfully installed.
What do you thing, it is because of my firmware?

These extensions can be installed by placing to folder system/acw/ in user store or to folder /opt/amazon/acw on the system partition (this is the preferred location as the firmware can remove/recreatesystem/acw/ content any time).

See https://wiki.mobileread.com/wiki/Kindle_Touch_ACX for more information.

Everything needed for ACX signing (signing app in Java, appropriate private key) can be found here:
https://github.com/dsmid/kindle-pw2-...master/signing

Attached sample ACXs adds ability to translate selection with Google Translate to your Kindle.

Install AcXE (Update_acxe_*_install.bin from acxe_*.zip), put gtranslator.acx (the one for your device) in [userstore]/system/acw/, reboot Kindle and you should see a new "Google Translate" item in the "More" menu after you highlight some text.

Supported languages:
Spoiler:
English
French
German
Portuguese
Spanish
Italian
Dutch
Japanese
Korean
Russian
Chinese Simplified
Chinese Traditional
Finnish
Norwegian
Hindi
Danish
Latin
Czech
Slovak
Polish
Ukrainian
Greek
Hebrew
Turkish
Croatian
Serbian
Romanian
Latvian
Lithuanian
Estonian
Hungarian
Bulgarian
Arabian
Swedish
Icelandic

I can add other languages if needed.

This works on PW2, PW1 and Touch.

Where put those keys? https://github.com/dsmid/kindle-pw2-...master/signing
I tried installing in pw2, see the menu Google Translator in more, but it's not working.

Edit: Ignore this my post.

Each time I:
- copied the uninstall bin to /mnt/us/ and updated
- copied the install bin to /mnt/us/ and the gtranslator.acx to /mnt/us/system/acw and updated

But I haven't been able to make it working. Is there anyone using a pw1 having similar issues?
