My translation keep showing “Translation is unavailable at the moment. Try again at a later time”. Anytime I try and translate on my iMac through Safari or Mail or anywhere where the built in translator functions I get a message saying “Translation is unavailable at the moment. Try again at a later time”. this has been happening for more than a few days now, so trying again later is pointless so far. I downloaded the languages and it has made no difference. How do I fix it as I use that function fairly frequently and the only answers I've seen on the forum relate to iphones. thanks

What to do when it says Translation unavailable Hello, not sure what happened, but I can’t use the Translate app. It always say Translation unavailable. Is this something normal or should I do something to fix this? Thanks!

Translate language issue When I select a word and it’s original language is often incorrect. I think a spelling could occur in different languages and that’s reasonable. I hope the original language could be chosen by user and run as default; or the translate function could choose original language base on the previous translation language. Thank you!

Who told you it would work offline? It doesn't.

It’s supposed to. It has the settings for it. It just doesn’t work.
