Hey folks, I've been dealing with a frustrating, unresolvable bug in Google Translation's website integration—and it's popping up across every site that uses the tool. Here's the full breakdown:

What's Going Wrong? #

• First-time language switches work perfectly: the page translates to the target language successfully, and the dropdown menu displays the correct selected language.
• But when you try to switch back to a language you’ve already used before? The whole thing breaks:
  • No translation effect is applied to the webpage at all
  • The dropdown menu resets to show 'select language' instead of the language you just tried to switch to

Step-by-Step Reproduction #

You can replicate this bug on any site with Google Translation integration (check the examples below):

1. Switch the site’s language to Catalan – everything functions as expected
2. Switch back to English – still no issues
3. Attempt to switch to Catalan again – the translation fails completely, and the dropdown resets to its default state

Example Affected Websites #

• sitepointstatic.com
