Hi, thank you for your add on. It seems that this add on has limited times of use per day? How can I solve the probem?
Thanks!

Hi, Bill Chan,

The add-on itself doesn't impose any limitations. However, Google's Translate service, which the add-on uses, does have limitations. Google doesn't document those limits. So, I can't tell you what they are exactly. But they're quite high, so most users never hit them. You can only reach those limits if you try to translate really big amounts of text, something like thousands of translations and tens of thousands of characters.

Honestly, I can't imagine a scenario where you'd need that much translations at a time.
Could you please share your use-case with me? Maybe I could think of a specific solution for your situation.

Thanks,
Tigran

Hi, Tigran, 
I was thinking about activating the pro version you have provided, however, it seems that the add-on is not working. If I choose 10 cells to be translated then only the first cell is translated and the same translation will appear on the other cells. Can you figure out the problem?
Thanks!

Hi, Bill Chan,

Thank you very much for bringing this issue to my attention.
Seemingly a new bug appeared in Google's add-on engine. I changed the code to work around that bug.
The problem should be solved now. Please, give it another try.

Thank you for your interest and contributions to Translate. I developed the Pro version in part in response to your previous post. 🙂
If you have other problems / suggestions please don't hesitate to post them.

Tigran
