New translations break the plugin #98

Open instantgreen opened 9 years ago

instantgreen commented 9 years ago

OkCupid started translating its questions (I only know this is true for German, but I guess they are doing it for other languages as well). Now the plugin doesn't recognize the answers any more. I guess we will have to add all the new possbile translated answers to the plugin...

There doesn't seem to be an option to set the language, though. But this would seem like a good idea. Maybe I should write them a message.

Oooh man, okay. We'll probably have to switch it up to recognize answers based solely on their order, rather than by the answer text. That shouldn't be too big of a change, but I won't have time to do it for a while.

Is there any ETA on when you might have time to fix this issue?

benjaffe commented 9 years ago

I'm afraid probably not in the next few weeks. Starting a new job, and have to finish up other freelance projects in the mean time. If any other users see this and are interested in it, comment on this thread. The more interest, the more likely I am to prioritize it over other issues. Thanks @instantgreen for the poke. I'll keep it in mind for when I have free time.

Hmm, it's been another two months. ;)

A big part of the problem is that OkCupid has decided to just leave users alone with their terrible translation and still no way of switching back to English.

So, yeah, this is still an issue...
