Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'TranslateElement')

[Vasco Tareco]

Hi

I setup the Google translation in my websites but there´s one that is failing with the following error:

Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'TranslateElement')
    at googleTranslateElementInit ((index):148:46)
    at e (m=el_main:75:306)

Can you please provide me some help ?

Hello, KR

This error seems to suggest that a variable[in this case, TranslateElement] was probably declared but not been assigned a value. There are a number of things to look at here but I think the first thing is to understand your implementation. How  are you setting up the Google translation on your websites? I suppose you are simply making calls to the Translation API[0][1]?

Please reply with more detailed information about your implementation, so that we can have better understanding of your setup and how we can help.

By the way, I found this issue reported as well on this Stackoverflow link[2], I am not sure if your implementation/setup is similar to what the Customer is doing. Please check the comments, hopefully it helps
