Description prasun.gera 2023-05-23 10:08:53 UTC

Fedora's build of chromium does not support web page translation via google's cloud translation API. I recall that there were changes around usage of google's APIs that disabled certain features in the default distribution. However, I am using my own developer API keys in .bash_profile by way of exporting GOOGLE_API_KEY, GOOGLE_DEFAULT_CLIENT_ID, and GOOGLE_DEFAULT_CLIENT_SECRET. This seems to work partially, and it shows options for cloud sync and safe browsing in chromium. Translation features do not work though. Ubuntu's snap version of chromium supports translation and it picks up the keys from the exported env variables. I confirmed this by installing the snap. So perhaps there is some build config difference ?

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Visit https://www.1point3acres.com/bbs/
2. Expectation: Tooltip in the address bar that offers to translate the page
3. Chrome as well as Canonical's snap build of chromium show this when the API keys are exported. Fedora's rpm build does not.

Comment 1 Than Ngo 2023-07-14 10:46:07 UTC

I cannot reproduce this issue with latest chromium-114.0.5735.198. Please update to new version.

Comment 2 prasun.gera 2023-07-14 14:50:10 UTC

I am still able to reproduce it on current version. How did you verify that it works ? Do you have a sample website to check ?

Comment 3 prasun.gera 2023-07-14 15:00:30 UTC

Here's another website that I just tried: https://www.ledevoir.com/ . I see the tooltip in chrome but not in chromium.
