What it means ???
Components: UI> Browser> Translate

dbeam/dpapad: Did we change anything in language settings in the old settings UI?

It looks like the user is prevented from even enabling translation to English, even though the browser UI is Hebrew. (Although the screenshots look like English is still the primary language... I'm not quite clear what's happening there)

no, we haven't changed anything in old options that i'm aware of

You ask if you have changed anything?
Apparently it is a fact that can not be translated into Hebrew ...
The truth is always part of the problem was the language settings that you can click to translate pages written in English
But if I went to English was up window appears and asks if I want to translate
Today there is no window pages in English
Each interface also Hebrew me chromium even Windows!
Still, right-click the mouse gospel message translated into English translation and not translated into Hebrew ....

Can you not have changed any way but probably chromium think my language is English
Language and Translation settings You can not click the translate English pages clicking ... there is a window but can not shake the possibility Dat

didschr: There's no need to click on that checkbox, because Chrome will offer to translate non-Hebrew pages to you by default. The phrasing of the checkbox is confusing, because "translate pages in this language" can be understood to mean either "translate from this language to Hebrew" (correct) or "translate from Hebrew to this language" (incorrect). Sorry about the confusion!

didschr: If you've added "English" to the list of languages, please make sure that its checkbox "Offer to translate pages in this language" is checked.

If you've added "English" to the list of languages, please make sure that its checkbox "Offer to translate pages in this language" is checked.
That's what I say !!!!! You can not mark !!! You can not click !!!

Able to reproduce when running "LANGUAGE=iw google-chrome-stable". "iw" is the ISO language code for Hebrew.

Expected status of "Offer to translate page in this language":
English                 - Enabled
Russian                 - Enabled
Hebrew                  - Disabled
English (United States) - Enabled

Observed status of "Offer to translate page in this language":
English                 - Disabled
Russian                 - Enabled
Hebrew                  - Enabled
English (United States) - Disabled

Hebrew-to-Hebrew translation does not make sense, so this must be a bug.

Now again it is impossible to mark a check box
Why Linux on Windows I
Now that you understand the problem I very much hope that a solution will be found
Until about a month ago he worked translation (no checkbox but I went to English appeared in a small window with a proposal to translate)
I do not think it did change my computer formatting, etc. Although it is possible less likely

Io aggiungo Qualsiasi lingua da tradurre opzione Appare in il pulsante destro del mouse del mouse ebraico ( foto allegata ) 
La cosa strana ho aggiunto , per esempio, italiano premo fate clic destro che non si traducono in italiano ! Questo si traduce in ebraico ...

Currently this Hebrew language settings and removed the English-Italian ...

ftang@ - Could you please check whether this is caused with respect to your change, if not please help us in assigning it to the right owner.

Thanks...!!

From what I see there is still the problem nothing has changed .... 😢

Hi all,

We have technical case with the same issue persisting. On version 55, it gives us to option to check the translate checkbox, but on Canary build the option is grayed out for Hebrew.

What we found out is that if a separate language (ex. French, or any other) is added in the languages and the translate option is available, we can use the translator to manually select Hebrew (after clicking on the options link when the pop up shows up or in the translator option in the address bar) and the page will be translated successfully. This is sort of a workaround, but it requires a third language to be added in the Languages settings.

Thanks!

I really do not know what exactly the situation that small changes make a big difference but I think you're right ...

Gentle ping to get an update on this issue.

This is intended behavior because the user is Hebrew so it is more likely they want to translate a page into Hebrew. The user could change the target language selection once they translate. There are no prove that more Hebrew window Hebrew chrome user like to translate Hebrew into English than those want to translate English to Hebrew. 

See comment #15. Setting UI to Hebrew offers to translate Hebrew pages to Hebrew. I don't think this should be WontFix.

Flipping back to assigned. Barak and I confirmed today that this is still an issue. With Chrome in Hebrew, option to opt into English translations is greyed out. Target language is chosen as English for translations from another language. 

Too bad I did not see the discussion anyway the problem remained ....

Thanks for confirming didschr@gmail.com, we're taking a look.

This can be reproduced for two other locale tl (Filipino) and no (Norwegian). The issue seems related to the call to CheckAndResolveLocale() inside ui/base/l10n/l10n_util.cc  which map "iw" to "he", and map "tl" to "fil" and "no" to "nb".

can reproduce this on Windows. Do not know how to switch language on Mac.

@Ftang: you can change Chrome UI language on Mac only by changing your OS UI language

jshin@ - looks like you're the owner for ui/base/l10n/l10n_util.cc - can you help us troubleshoot? 

don't worry. I have the fix. I missed one line in a cl last time.

I think I found the problem. Missing a line "translate::ToTranslateLanguageSynonym(&language);" when I move the code. Should be fixed by components/translate/core/browser/translate_manager.cc


 449 if (language.empty()) {
 450     // Get the language from ULP.
 451     language = TranslateManager::GetTargetLanguageFromULP(prefs);
 452     if (!language.empty())
 453       return language;
 454 
 455     // Get the browser's user interface language.
 456     language = TranslateDownloadManager::GetLanguageCode(
 457         TranslateDownloadManager::GetInstance()->application_locale());
   +     translate::ToTranslateLanguageSynonym(&language);
 458   }
