@yves_alexandre Are you referring to IMDb’s localisation settings or the ability to translate our pages via a third party service? If the former, please check your settings as described on https://community-imdb.sprinklr.com/conversations/imdbcom/imdb-now-available-in-more-languages/620a9f13fbc70347370a1b3b

If this does not fix the problem, please try the advice in https://help.imdb.com/article/imdb/common-issues/why-is-imdb-displaying-differently-on-my-browser/GF2ZAR69V859XLHF and let us know what happens.

Hi thank you for the answer

When i choose a language in the proposed list (whatever the language) nothing works. Only the title of the  main segments are translated not the texts between the segments.

There was a time  i could translate all the english texts with the right click of my mouse ; when you right click you have an option 'Translate in French (for example) but now when I ask for translation nothing happens; all the texts stay in english. Really strange

@yves_alexandre​ This is not something ever supported or provided by IMDb, sorry.  It looks like something has changed in your browser which previously handled these translations. You are best asking on the support forums for whichever browser you are using. 

Hope this helps.

Hi, i have the same problem with different browsers (edge, firefox, chrome), and IMDb is the only website with this problem, so it seems that is something wrong with IMDB website....

Hi. Happy to read you ; I don't feel alone anymore. I also use Edge after trying Chrome with always the same result. Actually, I have this problem since around two weeks, it's realy new

And I agree with you I tried translation on many other sites like wikipedia and many other cine sites , only IMBb is a source of problem

@Col_Needham​  Hi . it seems that  I am not the only one to get this problem of translation. It is not a problem of browser (I tried different ones) and only IMDB is a source of problem. I can translate many other sites like Wikipedia for exemple. So there is a big mystery about it.

For the past few days, Google Translate has not been translating pages. If I select a part of a sentence, it will translate it, but not the entire page. Has there been any change?

@yves_alexandre / @McKay58 / @josemarcor  If you are having issues with Google and/or Google translate, please report these problems to Google.  IMDb is not responsible for how third party services interact with our pages, sorry.

Google Translate doesn't work on Imdb. For a few days now. No matter what they do, it doesn't work.

Hi @yves_alexandre  / @josemarcor / @McKay58 / @RaduOltean7 -

Following up here to confirm that we identified the bug causing the issue and have fixed it.  The Google Translate feature should now be working as expected on IMDb.
