Request Error]

Engine not available, invalid secret, or request too fast. Use another translation engine or post the issue here: https://github.com/windingwind/zotero-pdf-translate/issues

The message below is not Zotero or the PDF Translate addon, but from

Google(API). Error: Request timed out [Request [Error]]

As it says, you may not be able to access the google service due to network issues. Not related to this addon.

That’s why you might need to fix this bug, misleading information Because my Google service and network was working perfectly

It doesn't mean you can access Google in Zotero even if you can access google.com in your browser. It depends on the proxy strategies on your device or gateway.

The error information is clear enough to show the reason. If it says request time out, then it must be a timeout and you haven't received any from the server. Otherwise, you'll see an error code like 405 or the error information from the service provider.

Nothing misleading here I suppose.

Please check the global proxy settings.

Any updates? If not, I’ll close this issue.

There is a problem with the Google Translate API, so in the same network environment, the google translate website is normal, but the API cannot be called.

No, not exactly. The plugin is OK. The problem can only be with Google translate service, your device network settings or your network environment.

The Google(API) use translate.googleapis.com while the Google use translate.google.com. The previous one could be accessed in mainland China in the past, and now both cannot be accessed. translate.google.cn is also redirected to translate.google.com.hk now.

so in the same network environment, the google translate website is normal, but the API cannot be called.

Yes, as I explained above.

It doesn't mean you can access Google in Zotero even if you can access google.com in your browser. It depends on the proxy strategies on your device or gateway.
