Why has Facebook Translate stopped working? I use Facebook regularly with friends all over the world, I used to be able to right click on a comment text and left click on Translate, but it doesn't work any more. Instead I see a message that says "the translation failed because of a server error, try again." Do you have any tips to rectify the problem? Thierry Obitz, by email If you are using the Chrome browser update to the latest version, as there was a compatibility issue with Google Translate, which has since been fixed. On other browsers try disabling or removing any add-ons or plug-ins that block Flash content. A modem plugin called Motive has also been implicated and it is quite possible that others may be involved so if all else fails disable add-ons and plugins one at a time to see if any of them are causing the problem.
