Automatic translation failed

Summary by Omotecho

Two factors that makes problem to publish CX2:

  • Very large table is included in the translation original;
  • #tag:ref template is present in the translation original.

I had a message : Automatic translation failed (from Deutsch to French). .Is there any solution?

The article; Bernsteinvorkommen. I was on Firefox.

Hello, are you on Windows or iOS/Apple? I have been encountering problems on my iPad. Are you not?


I was on Windows. It happened when I began the translation of a list (a board). Before that everything was normal.

Thank you for confirmation. Yes, I don’t know the reason but lists/tables sometimes fails to work normal. Too bad. I will try and see if de-ja translation on Bernsteinvorkommen on iOS13 fails as well.

I encountered a similar problem. The paragraph contained a #tag:ref template, so I think that is probably the cause in my case. En-ja, on Windows 10.

@JMGuyon Does the part where the automatic translation failed happen to be an especially large one? Apparently, there's a size limit. (see Topic:Vnxi7rcbumxtcwm4)

You can see the article in Deutsch, the board was large, yes.

Omotecho (talkcontribs)

Yes, the board/table is huge, and I experimented de-ja. To avoid the table prevent me publish the translation, I only translated the section title. Published on my userpage, then added the table from dewiki with attribution. I will translate manually the table later.

  • I would expect CX2 warn me when the table is too large.

It happens me, when there is #tag:ref in the code. I dont know if this tool uses VisualEditor or Parsoid, but VE and/or Parsoid has the same problem - you cannot edit #tag:ref in VisualEditor. Years are passing and no fix from devs, but Notes are widely used in the articles.
