If Google Translate isn’t working, it can be frustrating, as the tool is extremely helpful when you’re dealing with texts in foreign languages. In this practical tip, we’ll tell you what you can do in such a situation.
Google Translate isn’t working – here are some possible reasons
- Google Translate runs entirely online in your browser, so it only works if you’re connected to the internet. The first thing you should do, therefore, is check your internet connection.
- To ensure the page displays correctly in your browser, you’ll need to have Adobe Flash Player installed.
- If Google Translate still isn’t working, try opening the page in a different browser, such as Firefox or Chrome.
- If Google Translate still doesn’t work there, the service’s server is probably offline. In this case, you’ll need to wait until Google has resolved the issue. If you need a translation urgently, you can use an alternative translation tool.
