Language API inconsistently rearranges html during translation #149

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?

t='<h2><a href="test.html"> some </a> text </h2>';
google.language.translate(t, 'en', 'de', function(r){
  console.log(r.translation);
})

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

expected: '<h2><a href="test.html"> einen </a> Text </h2>'
actual: '<h2><a href="test.html"> einen Text </a></h2>'

Why does it put 'Text' inside the anchor tag???

If it looks like a sentence it works fine:

var t='<p><a href="test.html"> Some  </a> text. </p>';

google.language.translate(t, 'en', 'de', function(r){
  console.log(r.translation); //->"<p> <a href="test.html">Einige</a> Text. </p>"
})

I have the same issue and it is not fixed by making the text a sentence.

The very simple html below illustrates the problem converting English to German:
<html><head></head><body>The quick brown <font color='#ff0000'>FOX</font> jumps 
over 
the lazy <font color='#0000ff'>Dog</font>.</body></html>

Returns:
<html><head></head><body> <font color='#ff0000'>Der</font> flinke rote Fuchs 
springt 
über den trägen <font color='#0000ff'>Hund.</font> </body></html>

Although the translation is ok, the html, in this case colour, has been 
destroyed.
'The' (Der) becomes red instead of 'Fox' (Fuchs), notice also the full stop has 
now 
been moved inside the blue font colour tag. 

I am using the AJAX Language API from other Non-Javascript environments in this 
instance with the parameter:
@format=html

Thanks for the input, guys.  We have been looking into fixing this and it's not 
a trivial problem.  We have made 
some initial changes but they don't fix this example that you have provided, so 
we will continue to try to make 
this better.  Over time we can hopefully improve on this.

Thanks,
Ben

Hello,

I've a similar issue:

1) Original: <a href="/es-es/empresa" title="Empresa" class="rmLink"><span 
class="rmText">Empresa</span></a>

2) "es" to "en" translation

3) 
Expected value: <a href="/es-es/empresa" title="Company" class="rmLink"><span 
class="rmText">Company</span></a>

Returned value: <span class="rmText"><a href="/es-es/empresa" title="Company" 
class="rmLink">Company</a></span>
