http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1177230 Bug ID: 1177230 Summary: program "translate" doesn't work. Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Distribution Version: Leap 15.1 Hardware: Other OS: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Other Assignee: screening-team-bugs@suse.de Reporter: carlos.e.r@opensuse.org QA Contact: qa-bugs@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- After a conversation in the opensuse-support mail list I discovered program "translate" in package libtranslate-progs. The program apparently uses the services of yahoo babelfish, which is dead. It was apparently moved to "Bing". Maybe the developer could adapt the program to call Microsoft now, but he did not. I suggest the package be removed from the distribution if it can not be adapted. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Babel_Fish_(website) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Translator Example runs: cer@Telcontar:~> translate -t en http://www.freebsd.org/es/index.html http://babelfish.altavista.com/babelfish/trurl_load?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.freebsd.org%2Fes%2Findex.html&lp=fr_en&enc=utf8 which redirects to <https://es.yahoo.com/?p=us> cer@Telcontar:~> echo "Le problème est résolu." | translate -f fr -t en [#############################################################################] (translate:6299): libtranslate-WARNING **: unable to translate chunk using Babel Fish: Invalid byte sequence in conversion input (translate:6299): libtranslate-WARNING **: unable to translate chunk using SYSTRAN: Could not connect: Connection timed out (translate:6299): libtranslate-WARNING **: unable to translate chunk using Google: unable to parse server data (translate:6299): libtranslate-WARNING **: unable to translate chunk using FreeTranslation: Could not connect: Connection timed out (translate:6299): libtranslate-WARNING **: unable to translate chunk using 1-800-Translate: Error resolving “www.1-800-translate.com”: Name or service not known (translate:6299): libtranslate(generic)-WARNING **: in promt, group 1, "post" attribute of "text-translation" element: unable to convert to "windows-1251": Invalid byte sequence in conversion input (translate:6299): libtranslate-WARNING **: unable to translate chunk using PROMT Online-Translator: Not Found (translate:6299): libtranslate-WARNING **: unable to translate chunk using Babel Fish: Invalid byte sequence in conversion input (translate:6299): libtranslate-WARNING **: unable to translate chunk using SYSTRAN: Could not connect: Connection timed out (translate:6299): libtranslate-WARNING **: unable to translate chunk using Google: unable to parse server data (translate:6299): libtranslate-WARNING **: unable to translate chunk using FreeTranslation: Could not connect: Connection timed out (translate:6299): libtranslate-WARNING **: unable to translate chunk using 1-800-Translate: Error resolving “www.1-800-translate.com”: Name or service not known (translate:6299): libtranslate(generic)-WARNING **: in promt, group 1, "post" attribute of "text-translation" element: unable to convert to "windows-1251": Invalid byte sequence in conversion input (translate:6299): libtranslate-WARNING **: unable to translate chunk using PROMT Online-Translator: Not Found (translate:6299): libtranslate-WARNING **: unable to translate chunk using Babel Fish: Invalid byte sequence in conversion input (translate:6299): libtranslate-WARNING **: unable to translate chunk using SYSTRAN: Could not connect: Connection timed out (translate:6299): libtranslate-WARNING **: unable to translate chunk using Google: unable to parse server data (translate:6299): libtranslate-WARNING **: unable to translate chunk using FreeTranslation: Could not connect: Connection timed out (translate:6299): libtranslate-WARNING **: unable to translate chunk using 1-800-Translate: Error resolving “www.1-800-translate.com”: Name or service not known (translate:6299): libtranslate(generic)-WARNING **: in promt, group 1, "post" attribute of "text-translation" element: unable to convert to "windows-1251": Invalid byte sequence in conversion input (translate:6299): libtranslate-WARNING **: unable to translate chunk using PROMT Online-Translator: Not Found translate: unable to translate: no service could translate chunk cer@Telcontar:~> -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
