### 5/5 — Live translation 不能用

*2026-05-11*

使用实时翻译的时候，明明对着英语文章，但是提示无法识别，弹窗让手动选语言，无论选还是不选，都循环反复的弹窗….

追评： 开发者快速联系之后，再重新安装简单配置，就可以正常使用了. 加油💪

**Developer response:** 你好，感谢你的详细反馈 😊

你提到的实时翻译语言识别问题，我这边暂时还没有稳定复现，不过已经记录下来，会继续排查不同设备和使用场景下的兼容情况。

你反馈的：

* 无法识别语言
* 弹出手动选择语言窗口

这些信息对定位问题很有帮助，我后续会继续优化实时翻译相关逻辑。

感谢你的反馈与支持 🙏
