"Google in Place" translation mode doesn't work on some websites. #318

Translation feature is supper useful. "Google in Place" is most reliable/conveniet mode and it works on 90% of websites i try to translate.

But it does not work on some pages, example: https://www.reddit.com/r/brasil/comments/192uegx/galera_estranha_na_minha_rua/ https://www.zhihu.com/question/538919973

Steps: 1, open the link 2, press translate icon 3, nothing happens

I was thinking it's impossible to translate these types of pages "in place" (without using "whole page" loading). But Brave browser managed to make it work, screenshots:

If you switch to "Google Whole page" then it works, but i find "Google Whole Page" mode much less convenient then "Google In Place" cause you can't translate several pages/tabs and switch between them (any time you translate next page/tab previous translation is lost)

@gety9 it's because these websites prohibite javascript code injection. As for Brave browser, it's like Chrome browser, it has access to rendering engine, everything is under its control. As for EinkBro, it uses WebView element and constraint by the system.

@plateaukao thank you for explanation. So we are not able to fix it, right? (it's fine, not big deal). Then i will close the issue?
