I've noticed this as well. Are you rooted (and if so what ROM/kernel are you on), or are you running the same stuff you had in the box?
I get the same, 100% stock unrooted.
I have experienced this on my android phone market (though it might be to do with me having downloading the new market apk).

Same here.
Same problem, on prime 1.5. Change list always seems to be in the correct lang though.
As Tencent is not going to release an english version of the popular QQ Messenger, i made one on my own. Most of you might think "What the hell is QQ?" Yeah, it's one of the most popular messenger apps in the world and has more active users than ICQ and MSN / Live Messenger together (according to: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instant_messaging#User_base) So why nobody (in the Western world) knows it? Because it's mostly used in mainland China, even Hongkongese or Taiwanese don't use it that much. So just think about it: If 50% of all inhabitants of China would use it, it would have even more users than people live in the European Union or in North America - but as not many people outside of China are using it (except they have connections to China), nobody cares or knows about it. That might also a reason why Tencent only released a version in simplified chinese. So here's the google translated version. i just decompiled it, threw the strings.xml and arrays.xml into the google translate toolkit and png-optimized+compiled+compressed+signed it again. it's the version 4.0.1build 1547 - should be the version you get on the Play Store as of the 29th January 2013. If you have a newer version, pm me the apk-file and i will translate it.
Ohh and again: It's *Google Translate*-translated - so don't blame me for the wording, at least it's not just a funny bunch of strokes

Chinese Version in the Play Store
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tencent.mobileqq
Btw. i noticed it shows "Appid is invalid" for some seconds but works then.
edit:
seems like loggin in doesnt work anymore, so you need to do this:
* Install QQ from Play Store
* Login
* Backup with Titanium Backup
* Uninstall QQ
* Install QQ from this thread
* Restore "Only data" with Titanium Backup
Will try this later. Thank you anyway but it shouldnt be a problem to find a native chinese speaker for a good translation if you publish the necessary words here. If you cant find a chinese speaking user here send me the text and I will forward it to a chinese friend.
This app contains malware and has affected over 600k phones in china. I read this yesterday. NQ has solution to this.

You mean the original QQ or the translated QQ version he offer here?
Use the original QQ Android for over one year. If you switch of the location permission its pretty ok.

Please don'r spread half true news!
http://en.nq.com/blog/
Here you can read what CAN happen and how to avoid it! As most of the people download QQ from the play store, the version is safe!
If this version here is safe or not I don't know because I didn't tried it yet.
Back to topic: I will be in China next month, so if you can't find somebody to translate it properly until that time, I will translate it with my girlfriend.
Shouldn't be much of a deal for a native speaker!
You should also send these translations to tencent, maybe they will use it
But I really don't know what their problem is, because they already released a very good translation of "WeChat", the chinese version of WhatsApp, that is pretty awesome! Much more functions and u can also use it to chat with your QQ accounts. Only reason why I still use QQ mobile is, that you can't check the online-status of QQ users if u youse WeChat... But beside this, WeChat is the better QQ (and made by the same guys!)
Btw a translated qq version is not really necessary, the client dont have so much functions. Publishing some screenshots with with a explanation should be enough for the most people.
What I really dont like is that the client become more unstable in each new version. qq 2011 was perfect, the new qq is not reliable, always lose connection if the app is in the background.

I can't share this opinion.
I only feel the old Version were more smooth because they did not use too many ressources of the phone. Are you sure you only have the connection issues with QQ? Maybe it's some ICS or JB related power-saving function?!

Yes I'm sure. Maybe every second or third time I switch into the App I can see how the app connect that moment. Friends told me i was indicate as offline before. No problems with Skype or Facebook same moment.
Hello v0ujiemq,
thank you for the translation offer, but as you said - there are not many words to translate/understand and in general the translation is acceptable at least to use it.
"Publishing some screenshots with with a explanation should be enough for the most people." <-- That's what i wanted to avoid. Maybe i will offer a chinese+english-side-by-side version later to learn the words.
So i will just update it if there is a new version but beside that, i just leave it as it is. I just did it for my own cause i cant read chinese and it's ok for me. On the other hand i thought someone else might find it handy, so i offered it as it is. I'm not going to put more effort into it.
hi, thx for the version.
sadly i cant login because im stuck at: verifing login.
could you do me / us a favor and post screenshots of the options ?
the rest of qq is more or less self explained.
What happens if you install the version from the play store, login and then install the english version on top without deleting any data?
doesnt work.
error: app already installed.
"same appname - different signature"
Ok, you're right. The only thing that worked for me was:
* Install QQ from Play Store
* Login
* Backup with Titanium Backup
* Uninstall QQ
* Install QQ from this thread
* Restore "Only data" with Titanium Backup
But I am pretty sure i could normally login with the english version some days ago.
works !
many thanks.
Is it really working? Cause it always tells me appid invalid or something like that.

I guess it's "normal" as it's not the original app anymore.
ok... but although it's not working for me, I can send messages but nobody receives them...

Little bump... I did what you said and it doesn't work... Well, it works in the way i can connect, but everything is still in chinese..!!!
I got very excite when I saw the news for the offline translator working. So I installed it , and downloaded all the languages I know, but it still wants an internet connection. Like, it just says "Due to a network issue, our translation service could not be reached". I'm running 2.3.7, and don;t know what else it wants! Is it working for you?
You must download the offline language package within the app

If I read properly..., that's what the guy did, so your reply is useless.

My problem is that the offline files are not downloadable from China.
So I have to use a VPN and the one that I have let's me download only 100MB of data daily. If I remember properly, French and Chinese are about 150MB each and it would then take me more than 3 days to get them... That is is I don't reboot my phone meanwhile because doing so make the download failed and the partial file becomes unusable...
The app also keeps on trying to reconnect/resume the download constantly over my normal WiFi but can't so it uses my battery needlessly...
Long story short: anyone knows where the app stores those files?
Even better: anyone could be kind enough to share those 2 offline language packages (CH and FR) on-line somewhere?
I'd be very thankful for that.
---
Edit, I read here ( http://www.techinvestornews.com/Google/Google-Bloggers/offline-google-translate-for-android) that those ±150MB files are zipped and about 200MB once extracted onto the SD card. So it should be quite easy to locate them...
Dropbox anyone? Please pretty please
I can see in Google Translate that French is 200.42MB, but can't find Google translate within the phone. Tell me me where it is and I can upload the language pack.

OK well thanks for offering this; I really appreciate it but somehow, I've succeeded in downloading the French pkg today by basically doing the exact same thing as I did yesterday...: I've started the download with the VPN and when it stopped because I've reached the daily limit, GT kept on downloading the rest of the file on my normal wifi. It was a partial success though because when I added the Chinese pack, it then just sat there at "starting download" (pic 1) or at "waiting for Wi-Fi" (pic 2) even though I had full signal (and green as Google checked-in...)...
And to answer your question on the OP, yes it (eng <--> french offline translation) now works for me on 2.3.7 (cm7). Only thing is that (as expected) the 'read aloud' (or text-to-speech) option is not available offline.
As for the location of the files, please see pic 3 for details.
And btw, French was 150Mb to download and stored under the tmp folder until GT installed it to the "fr" directory.
Tomorrow, I will try the same process with the Chinese package again, hopefully I will have some luck opnce more... :fingers-crossed:
Thanks again for the offer.

Hi,
I also live in China and was able to download the offline Chinese and Japanese language packs without the use of a VPN. Keep trying!!

I jus twould like to close this thread by saying that somehow, the offline thing is working for me right now. No idea. That's software for you.

I have a also noticed this and don't understand why.
I have installed the English and Chinese offline language packs. They work fine as long as I have an Internet connection. However, when my Internet connection is down it complains and refuses to translate.
I double checked to see if the language packs where indeed on my phone and where also enabled in Google translation (and they where). It seems like the Google Translation app still needs an Internet connection available - perhaps not for the actual dictionaries but perhaps for other issues - and when it can't connect it refuses to translate.
So what is the big deal with offline language packs when you can't translate when you are really offline??

Help I have offline files but granulated refuses to translate offline for me too. Says OFFLINE. I confirmed I have the offline files.
it's still not perfect but you are missing a crucial detail
You also need to download the tts language pack it is in your settings/language and input then tts settings then download the language pack there as well. This then almost works perfectly. I'm on holiday in France and if you have done all the downloads of languages and want the converse function to work then you need to change the input language of the phone to language (French in my case). Couldn't understand my phone! But the converse function worked. Obviously not ideal.
I am currently in China. Their goverment is so "nice" to - at least currently - block the access to anything related to Google. Not even maps works. I am trying to use Google translate. The necessary offline packages for a couple of languages including Chinese are installed. As long, as my phone is offline, Google translate just works great. If I am online it just does not work at all. If I use a VPN connection, it tries to make an online translation, times out, then finally - after about 30s to 2min - it makes an offline translation.
So I thought, ok, lets just block internet access for Google translate. I installed DroidWall, blocked Google translate and tried to use it. The surprising message I get after this is:
Translation failed - Retry - No network - Offline package files may have been corrupted. Removing all packages & then re-downloading them may fix this issue.
The only true part of that message is the statement, that there is "No network" for this app. But the conclusion is completely nonsense. The offline packages are not corrupt and as soon as I allow internet access again, I get the same behaviour as mentioned above (incl. successful offline translations).
Any idea anyone?
Google Translate in China
Hello,
I am in China and offline google translate works fine for me. I recommend: 1) You delete and re-download the dictionaries, 2) You get a VPN.....droidvpn is free and it works well, 3) If you want your VPN to work better, download setdns and change your dns server.
Good luck.
Best,
Jon

I think that you did not read correctly. Offline translations work fine, if I am offline. Google translate does not work for me, if I am using WiFi or China mobile. It works too slow, if I use a VPN connection to my router at home in Germany, whereas any other internet-service works fine.
The error message about corrupted packages appear, if I am online (with or without VPN), but block internet access for Google Translate using DroidWall.
Google Translate
Hmmm.....don't know what to tell you about that. I only use offline google translate in China when wifi and data are turned off and it works fine for me....never tried blocking it with droidwall. Otherwise when I use droidvpn or my personal vpn online it works fine too.....

I just tried blocking GT with my firewall (AFWall+ ... I strongly suggest you to use that one instead Droidwall. It is almost the same but newer and more options and bugs fixed. Droidwall has long been abandoned....) and it does search for connection for a long time (because blocking it does not prevent the app to see that there is network available...) and then it translates offline. So no real problem for me here.
No problem on vpn either.
On this subject I suggest the real free (DroidVPN has a 100mb/day limit and the servers are often full) fqrouter2. But be aware that vpn uses more battery. If you have an older phone, you can also try shadowsocks but I do have slight issues with it....
So finally, I also suggest you to use the latest app version and delete and redownload offline packs.
If that doesn't solve it, then I suggest you find and try either the black or the clear (one I'm using) version of GT made by TBO (Team Blacked Out) sorry no time to give you a link atm.
If anything here helped, you know what button to press...
fqrouter2
Hello,
Fqrouter2 does not work for me....it keeps giving me a "failed to lauch" error. I do recommend that you change your dns server with an app like setdns (on your pc too!....use program called dnsjumper)....your VPN will work much better when you do.
Best,
Jon

Hi Al, thanks for the hint. AFWall+ works great! Google translate now doesn't show any errors any more and uses offline translation immediately under all conditions.

Well, I'm glad to hear that you've fixed your issue with G Translate :thumbup:
Now, please learn how to thank people that try to help you (even when it doesn't resolve your problem). People do not have to use their time and energy try to help; pressing the "thank" button is really a simple matter of showing respect and gratitude no matter the outcome....
And @Jon: I've tried your suggestion about dns change and that realky didnt go well and messed up my phone (simple app to switch to Google dns with 1 click). I ended up having to restore a 4 days old nandroid backup... It was just by curiousity, because like I said, fqrouter2 works very well for my setup as it is. Sorry to hear that it doesn't for you...
Cheers,

How much MB s hindi offline ppackage on google translate
Hey,
Since a couple of days, I've got this bug on snapchat :
When a friend send me a video, I open it, the screen goes black and all I've to do is kill the app to get back in it. (For information, the friend is not trolling me, because there isn't any timer circle).
I got another bug too, when a video appear on instagram, it doesn't load, I've got the same issue on 9gag with the gifs.
Does anyone have the same issues? I read a lot on this problem but I only found some 2013 topics on xda forums.
Just for information I tried to re-install the app, but it doesn't change anything.
I'm running a oneplus one, without changes. (Not flashed, ...)
Sorry for my bad english, my mother language is French, so...
Thanks in advance for your responses, and see ya' soon!
