We are experiencing issues with the Microsoft Tech Community Language Translation system which means that Translations will currently be unavailable for all users.

 

**Updated 04/23/2021 @ 5PM PDT**

We have deployed the fix and will continue to monitor the service over the weekend. Language translation maybe a little slower than normal while it catches up on all posts missed over the last week.

    Is it possible to deactivate the Languange Translation Service? 

    It is a little confusing when I'm reading posts in Spanish (my mother tongue) and I feel I could understand it better without translating it so I change the language to Spanish but after seeing or replying to the post I return to the English language ^^' haha

     

    Thank you in advance

     

  • Previously it was definitely better do not know why it changed is difficult to translate without seeing all the written content I'll add screenshots later . But I think it's Bing translator works badly and there are problems in MTC. now I write and I have to guess what I wrote earlier!

    See my update.. let me know if you see any issues, however I wouldn't report delays in translations of up to 30 minutes at the moment, it has a backlog of posts to workthrough.

    Unfortunately not yet, the proposed fix threw up some issues we are working to fix before we roll it out, apologies for the delay. I am hoping we will have something before the end of the week

    The translation service is unavailable for me today, should it be available?

  • Hello. Yes I sent as you asked, but the translation with me is fine!

    Thanks for commenting, once the system is back up could you send us a screenshot of the error? you can email us here.

  • Hello Everyone. I use automatic translation in MTC all the time and I had often confusing messages that translation is not possible, but practically the operation was correct, I think the cache in Edge in this case causes the wrong flow and a message that does not confirm in fact!
