 * Hi, I’m having an issue with translating my page with your plugin when the automated
   translation feature is enabled. The credentials seem to be working fine with 
   returning response 200, but there’s some error. Please check the log attached:
   [https://pastebin.com/mJkRB1A2](https://pastebin.com/mJkRB1A2)
 * Here’s a video that shows the translate page feature is not working at all. There
   are no errors in the console.

 * Please help me with this ASAP, because I’m running a project and I really need
   to fix this.

 * Hi! 
   Please check your pastebin link, it is not working.
 * In the video you show that page is not translated in 10s when translation editor
   is opened. This is normal, as translation to all added languages takes some time
   on first page visit, especially when using eTranslation. If you leave it open
   for longer, does it still not work? How many translation languages are added?
   
   eTranslation sometimes can perform very slow, then each translation request can
   take minutes to complete or even time out completely. You can check eTranslation
   load status here: [eTranslation](https://webgate.ec.europa.eu/etranslation/public/displayload.html)
 * If eTranslation performance is a problem for your use case, you can also use 
   3rd party MT providers listed here: [Automated translation – European Commission](https://website-translation.language-tools.ec.europa.eu/automated-translation_en)

 * I can leave the translation page for about 10 minutes and nothing happens. Please
   note that the website has a few pages, it’s not a heavy website.
 * What about the error in the response from the API? Have you checked it?
 * I have added only one translation language on this website.
 * Do you know what type of domain I have to select when adding a new language?

 * I could not check the error, as your link is not working.
 * Is the website published online? eTranslation requires it to be online and publicly
   accessible.
 * Generally, you should select General Text. If your website has specialized domain
   matching one of the other domains, you can select that. Also, you can try changing
   domain if eTranslation is not working, as sometimes some engines are overloaded
   and work very slowly.

 * Yes, my website is published online.
 * Please check the API response error here:

 * Have you tried making HTTP POST request to _{{WEBSITE\_URL}}/wp-json/etranslation/
   v1/document/destination/123_ as described here?: [Instruction information about WordPress & Woocommerce – European Commission](https://website-translation.language-tools.ec.europa.eu/instruction-information-about-wordpress-woocommerce_en#troubleshooting)
   If yes, what is the response?
 * This response you provided is not an error. Response 200 means success.

 * Yes, it says 200, but it also contains the word error.
 * Here’s the response from the HTTP post request:
 *     ```wp-block-code
       0	"123"1	""
       ```

 * The “error” keyword you are seeing is for cases when there is an error, but this
   time the error value is empty, so no error.
 * The HTTP POST response looks ok, eTranslation should be able to reach your website.
   But just to be sure, can you share your website URL?
 * Have you tried:
    1. Selecting different engine
    2. Unchecking **Advanced options ->** **Use cURL client for eTranslation HTTP request**&
       click Save Changes?
    3. Testing with different target language
 * If translation is still not working and there are no errors in logs, please create
   me a temporary user, I will take a look. My email is davis.ragels [at] tilde.
