Hello,
I have installed gTranslate extension 3.3.1 on phpbb forum 3.3.13.
On the Board index is the problem with showing language selection bar - there is nothing, this bar is not visible.
I have updated phpbb version from 3.3.13 to 3.3.14, but it didn't help.
However, when I installed previous version of gTranslate (3.3.0), everything is working fine, but there are some mistakes with translates, or some words are omit and non translated.
I think, maybe is problem with the content of folder hifikabin/gtranslate, version 3.3.1 I have here only this:
styles (folder)
composer.json
license.txt
In previous version 3.3.0 there are more folders and files inside:
acp (folder),
adm (folder),
config (folder),
docs (folder),
event (folder),
language (folder),
migrations (folder),
styles (folder),
composer.json
license.txt
I have downloaded 3.3.1 extension (also the RC version) from here:
https://www.phpbb.com/community/viewtopic.php?t=2646130
and from here:
[3.2][LATEST VERSION] [3.3][LATEST VERSION] gTranslate
Have you ever encountered this problem?
Best Regards
Leniuch

Re: gTranslate 3.3.1 not working
Version 3.3.0 was ACP configurable (hence the extra files), but had many issues. 3.3.1 is not ACP configurable so requires fewer files.
What style are you using?
Have toy tried disabling and re enabling the extension?

Re: gTranslate 3.3.1 not working
Thank you for your fast reply.
I'm using "prosilver" theme only, it's default theme on my phpbb.
Yes, I have tried turn on/off extension many times, and delete extension data, then delete folder from hosting. Of course tried install again. Nothing happened, like the extension doesn't exist. In ACP in extensions the gTranslate is Active of course.

Re: gTranslate 3.3.1 not working
Hello,
so it worked fine for me, but in the new year the button was suddenly no longer there, I use 3.3.8 and have now made it visible again by adding the following in the footer.
<script>
window.gtranslateSettings = {
"detect_browser_language": true,
"wrapper_selector": ".gtranslate_wrapper",
"flag_size": 16,
"default_language": "none",
"dropdown_style": "flags"
};
</script>
<script src="https://cdn.gtranslate.net/widgets/latest/dwf.js" defer></script>
However, the translation now behaves a little differently, I have to confirm the language each time I call up a topic.
If I set de as default, some page contents are not translated.
Greetings from Germany.

Re: gTranslate 3.3.1 not working
I am having great difficulty making gTranslate work correctly at the moment. It appears that solving one issue creates another. gTranslate does not support the free version soi I am afraid we are at their mercy.
I will PM you with some RC versions I have been working on for you to test

Re: gTranslate 3.3.1 not working
Hello, I have tested new version 3.3.2 which you send to me by PM.
Everything is working fine, the button is now visible.
Thank you!
But there is one bug (the same one that is in version 3.3.0) - the text in French is not translated to other languages, only a few words are translated:
(direct Link)
One strange thing - when I select German language, the French text is well translated into German:
