Upgrade StorageTranslate for Zotero worked great yesterday but now doesn't
Hello,
I was so excited to learn about this plugin. I installed it yesterday and it worked so well! Sadly, since yesterday it thinks everything is German, and even if I change the language it does not translate. I've reinstalled it, tried other services, and restarted my computer. Is this a just one use sort of plugin? Is it not working because of a paywall/subscription need?
Sadly, there is very little support about the plugin, and there's also no clarity on the name - is it Translate for Zotero? Or Zotero PDF translate?
Any help will be very much appreciated.

It seems that having the "Auto Detect Item Language" box selected in Zotero settings >> Translate was messing up big time. I checked it off and now when I select the language from the dropdown on the context menu it works perfectly. Maybe through the inaccuracies of OCR it was having trouble automatically detecting a correct language.

Other interesting symptoms that I got from when it was not working correctly was that I would highlight a line and it would translate it perfectly, and then I would highlight the next one and it would fail. It was probably detecting two different languages for the two lines.
Another thing to also note is that it seems that the auto detected language would override the dropdown selected one. So, no matter which one I selected it would fail for some lines and succeed for others still.
I am so glad that it works now! Having this feature makes my work of perusing through hundreds of old fish fossil manuscripts so much streamlined.
