Windows 10: Translation issues, I could really need your help

Those of us having installed more than one language have "Language Community" in FBH, and it's simply not good enough.
I would appreciate your upvote both from bilinguals and others.

Are you aware of how much time some of us spend translating windows? For months the scrollbar in "history" has been unavailable. The past few years Windows has been machine translated. It's working surprisingly well English to Norwegian, but we need a way to report meanings that can be word by word translated but without making any sense. English and Norwegian are both within the western Germanic language group and still we get serious errors due to translation . For months privacy settings in "Network" actually was private for public and public for private. Errors like that may put users units at risk. I wonder what it looks like for languages with totally different morphology, syntax and structure. Computers are nothing but a device to ease communication. Language is communication. How can you expect to ease communication if the basic isn't being treated correct and with respect?


Thank you in advance

  Select the text you want to translate.

  Right click on the selected text and select the option translate with Bing.

Cannot install Edge extension Translator

Hi,

I realize the inconvenience you are experiencing with installing Edge extension translator. I will certainly help you with the issue.

I would suggest you to follow the steps mentioned below and check if that helps:

• Open Powershell as admin.
• Type: "Get-AppxPackage *pocket* | Remove-AppxPackage" without the quotes this will unsintall pocket. You can try skipping step 3.
  
• Type: "Get-AppxPackage -AllUsers| Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register “$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml”}" without the quotes.
  
  this will reinstall all stock apps including the Windows Store
• Now you should be able to install Pocket through the Windows Store.

Note: Replace *pocket* in step 2 with *extensionname* (example: pocket extension).

Hope this information helps.



Please get back to us with an update on the issue, we will be happy to help.
