Thread: Posting a Trouble Report

In order to best resolve issues with the translation script, it helps if you post as much relevant information as possible in your trouble report.

This data usually includes:

• The URL of the site you are translating
• The URL to a copy of version.php running on your site (See the Troubleshooting Tips for a copy of this on-line program.)
• Does the issue affect Google Translate, Yahoo Babelfish, or both?
• What hosting company is your web site hosted at?
• Which version of the Translation Script are you running? (Look at the top of translate/translate.php)
• What version of Apache are you running? (1.3 or 2.x)
• Does your Apache configuration have mod_rewrite enabled?
• If you are calling the script from html files, is your Apache configured to support PHP code embedded in html files?
• Does your host support cURL?
• Is PHP safe_mode disabled on your host?
• What HTML/JavaScript/PHP/etc... code are you using to call the script?
• What error messages are you seeing in your Apache server logs?
• What error messages are you seeing when you try to translate a page?

The more information you give us, the more quickly we can help you to resolve your issue.

Hope that someone can help me out:

I'm testing out the script to see if it works, besides the fact that I had to make a workaround with mod_rewrite since I use nginx as webserver, I'm still esperiencing a strange problem even calling the translation script directly from /translate/index.php?engine=g&language=it&page=...

Before you go on please note: my website is adult-oreinted, so audience has been warned.

Let's answer to main questions, than desctive the problem by errorlog.log

The URL of the site you are translating
Latest Porn Videos Added Today - GoshTube.com is Bigger than YouPorn!

The URL to a copy of version.php running on your site (See the Troubleshooting Tips for a copy of this on-line program.)
No need for it isnce I own the whole box and I have root access, so I know that all needed stuff is in place (safe_mode=off, cURL, etc...)

Does the issue affect Google Translate, Yahoo Babelfish, or both?
Actually I'm interested in translating with google only, however I didn't check it with babelfish yet.

What hosting company is your web site hosted at?
HiVelocity Ventures, part of SagoNet, one of the best datacenters of USA

Which version of the Translation Script are you running? (Look at the top of translate/translate.php)
Didn't find any info about the version at the top of translate.php but I guess it's the latest since I downloaded the file lang-2009-09-23.zip

What version of Apache are you running? (1.3 or 2.x)
NginX here with FPM-CGI but this has nothing to do with the script since I can easily instruct it to rewrite whatever I want. I think the problem is in the script's PHP itself.

Does your Apache configuration have mod_rewrite enabled?
Again NginX has a different rewrite module, but no point for this question since I'm calling the file directly from the /translate path.

If you are calling the script from html files, is your Apache configured to support PHP code embedded in html files?
No .html on my website, just pure PHP.

Does your host support cURL?
Latest stable version

Is PHP safe_mode disabled on your host?
Again yes.

What HTML/JavaScript/PHP/etc... code are you using to call the script?
Direct link at the moment, that I'll configure it with mod_rewrite for nginx

What error messages are you seeing in your Apache server logs?
No error logs in NginX logs.

What error messages are you seeing when you try to translate a page?
Here follows the complete error log for a single page call:

The real problem seems to be the preg_match function which finds an empty string while trying to modify the page to be outputted.

Just a couple quick notes:
- The page is obviously not outputted to /g since the string which generates it is empty.
- No chmod problems since the whole website is owned by the webserver user so the script can freely write wherever it wants (infact the script logs are saved).
- I'ts the 1st time I try to use this script and the 1st time my IP fetches content from google, so no chance to be banned. I tried to wget and curl some translated pages with my own custom script and and they both fetched the page with no problems.

So any clue on how to fix this?

Code: -3 (No content returned after fixup from 'http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=ru&sl=ru&tl=en&u=http://www.shram.kiev.ua/&prev=hp' for 'en_')

This is continue from questions from 2012 topic Getting error Code -3

I found the problem and know the fix for rhis problem!!!
Google change code in translated frame.

Was: <frame
Now: <iframe

I can be fix in file: tr_google.php

Was:

//Check for redirects if (preg_match('|<frame src="(/translate_p\?[^"]+)|', $content, $matches)) {
$rval['result']='REDIRECT';
$match = $matches[1];
$match = preg_replace('|&amp;|','&',$match);
$match = 'http://translate.google.com' . $match;
$rval['redirect']=$match;
$rval['message']='translate_p_Frame';
return $rval;
}

Must be:

//Check for redirects if (preg_match('|<iframe src="(/translate_p\?[^"]+)|', $content, $matches)) {
$rval['result']='REDIRECT';
$match = $matches[1];
$match = preg_replace('|&amp;|','&',$match);
$match = 'http://translate.google.com' . $match;
$rval['redirect']=$match;
$rval['message']='translate_p_Frame';
return $rval;
}

Whom this tweak helps, give me the bottle of beer to Ukraine, Kiev (after EURO 2012 no beer in Ukraine its just a joke))
