Translator character limit --- has something changed?

Good morning! I use your site frequently to translate docs from english to spanish. I noticed today when inputing a paragraph for translation that it would only produce a 'partial' translation. I tried logging on as a 'new member' and still no luck! what do you recommend.

Thanks!

Whoop whoop, I'm good! I found this in the coding,

"Whoops. We only allow a maximum of 2000 characters."

So to answer your question it seems the character limit is 2000 characters.

All I gotta say is yuck to the formatting of this script and code. Maybe it's the browser congesting it but if not our coder has terrible formatting. Jajaja!

Saludos,

DJ ((( d(-_-)b )))

Edit: In light of the above, I would utilize the translator for paragraph at a time instances. If you have a long draft, do them one by one and you'll probably get more focused answers anyways. =]

If the SD translator is not enough for you you can try this one.

This is Google

Mariana,

Hey thanks! So that begs my next ques. then. " Is there a limit on the amount of text you can enter at one time for translation." I previously used the site a lot as a 'non - member' and have never encountered this.

Thanks! JK

Not sure about a limit, but I imagine there is! - --Mariana--, Jul 26, 2012

Hmmmm...I don't see a problem. Maybe the text was a bit too long this time?

Welcome to the forum, JungleKat, hope to see you around!

I have had no trouble; however, I watch the length of imputs there. - HowardO, Jul 26, 2012
