extension doesn't work with gnome 3.24 about text-translator

[AntiNSA]

Yes you are right and I really need this .. its one of my most important extensions. Can anything be done to make it work again?

[gufoe]

I don't have 3.24 yet, but I'll spin up a vm in the next days to check if I can do something about it

[AntiNSA]

Thats awesome if you could. I am a teacher in China and I use this all the time in Class and have really gotten to depend on it. ITs very useful. Thank you.

[AntiNSA]

PLease update this thread when you have the opourtunity to see if this can be done. The new gnome wprls so great for multiscreen/multi monitors. Id hate to downgrade, but if I have to go withoput the translation extension then I will most likely downgrade untill the extension is available.

I downloaded ubuntu live, and this is the error I found with the extension:

Error: Requiring St, version none: Requiring namespace 'Clutter' version '0', but '1.0' is already loaded

same problem on Arch Linux with GNOME Shell 3.24.1

[gufoe]

I proposed the problem on reddit aswell, no answers. Hopefully I'll find a solution myself soon.

[AntiNSA]

Hey any progress on thus issue?

[AntiNSA]

this is erious..... lts and 16.10 are no longer supported by gnome & thus far insecure

[gufoe]

Still nothing, I'm sorry :(

[philipraets]

If I remove lines 828 till 832 in extension.js (it's the second let translate_label in function _add_topbar_buttons, there is an error that it is already declared), the extension somewhat works again in opensuse tumbleweed, I can translate things, but cannot open preferences, then I get the namespace error.

I don't have experience with debugging or writing gnome-shell extensions, so I don't know where to start.

[gufoe]

Nice, for some reason the translate_label was already defined and added previously at line 804, so I'm fixing this now, at the extension will be usable. As for the settings, I still don't know, but looking into it, good job @philipraets, thanks!

[gufoe]

Looks like just commenting the first two lines in translation_providers/google_translation_provider.js fixes the preferences bug, can somebody with 3.24 give it a try?

[philipraets]

just tested, and seems to work

[wnlima]

Not Work on Gnome Debian 8.
Translate (ctrl + Enter) not work.
Go, not work

My test is English to Portuguese

[gufoe]

I've just tested on Ubuntu 17.04 with Gnome 3.24 and it's working, I'm closing the issue, thank you all.
