  • Issue with google translate (extension - auto translate)

The same thing happens to me but I think it's some anti-theft function

    i don't think is a bug... is a new stupid encript system, the text is writed in random characters and is made a new font that traslate that garbage in something useful for the human eye... but break every addon.... normally i send the pages to my kindle and read in the bed before sleep.... now i can't anymore... i'll just delete this site if this isn't changed... i understand that they want prevent the theft .... but i think who want to copy the site will still find a way for decrypt it, who doesn't care will leave the site (and probably go to the copy version)

    i just hope is an april fool.. if not i already found other sites with copy... funny that they already cracked the encryption

    Webnovel messes up with the translation of the chapters, every time I try to translate a chapter of a paid novel, I get weird letters, but when I translate a chapter of a novel that has no contract, everything works normally. It's a pity, but that's as far as I go on this platform, I don't speak English :C

    It is exactly for anti-piracy system against TTS(text to speech) that has caused this.

    This is how it looks it looks to TTS or google translate:

    so in an attempt to stop users from using TTS they not only bricked translation from being used but also encouraged users to literally copy the content of chapters, just so that users can read it.

    I can understand the need for copyright protection but there is a point where the return on implementation will actually be detrimental to a website instead of beneficial.

    also Per forugra4 hours ago, in a different bug report still related to google translate.:
    It's stupid anti-piracy system. Here a way you can try to avoid any sort of their strange systems:
    1) Make a long screenshot of all chapter. My browser has build-in function for it. Just google screenshot with scroll,
    2) Leave only wanted text in this screenshot.
    3) OCR it. Just google "OCR online".
    4) Get text from previous move and put it in translator.

    Till you see text you will can translate it. It's work averywhere also.
