Describe the bug
Google translate translates all messages to my native language which I think it is, instead of the language I select it as.
Steps To Reproduce
- Enable Google translate
- Select a language that is not your native language
- Still translates to your native language, or rather what google think it is.
Expected behavior
That it translates to the language i selected.

oh I see, so that's why some people were saying selecting English translates to Indonesian! I'll look into this

It seems like it's not getting the selected target language right. When I choose English it translates into Sinhala, when I choose Afrikaans it translates into Spanish, etc.
pain peko
I played a bit around using the v2.3.2 version of Hyperchat and the current master of the iframe-translator and it seems that the list of target languages is being translated, which causes some weird issues with the array indices.
e.g. Using a German system the list of languages which are used to select the correct target is something like:
Deutsch (German)
Afrikaans
Albanisch
Amharisch
The list is translated and later sorted using those translated names. Another interesting exception is that the system language, German, is at the start of the list.
Selecting English as the target, seems to produce messages in Filipino. Looking again at the 2 lists we can see that English is at the index of 21 in the list used by the iframe-translator library. Looking at the German list we can see Filipino at that position in the list. Similarly you can get German messages by selecting Afrikaans in the UI because the entry for "German" has the index 0.
My JavaScript/Typescript is sadly not that good which is why I can't create a fix for that problem, but maybe you can use the provided information to fetch the correct list of languages, without any applied translations
.
I pinned down the issue to the language drop down being translated too, yeah. Haven't been able to find a good fix yet
Could you screenshot the output for these two variables inside the hidden iframe? I'm in the US so it makes it a bit harder for me to test.
google.translate.TranslateElement.getInstance().Bgoogle.translate.TranslateElement.getInstance().Bai'd appreciate if you could just paste these 2 lines into the console within the iframe context and lemme know what the two outputs look like (either copy-paste or screenshot).
