No translation

[18skeltor]

This is a great extension but unfortunately it doesn't seem to be translating the text to English :(

The proxy is http://localhost:8080/, I didn't change anything, but I only get romaji

@18skeltor
Since the Spicetify extension runs in the browser then accessing Google Translate API requires a proxy for bypass the CORS issue. The quick solution to overcome that issue, is using cors-anywhere.

Currently I don't have a server to host a cors-anywhere, but there is a demo to access cors-anywhere, you can request the demo in this site after that you can change the proxy from http://localhost:8080 to https://cors-anywhere.herokuapp.com/

yup, but remember the cors-anywhere heroku is has very limited trials.
maybe you can use my free self-served cors-anywhere: https://web-production-05c1.up.railway.app/

I've tried to fill in the CORS Proxy box with https://web-production-05c1.up.railway.app/ and https://cors-anywhere.herokuapp.com, but neither the romanji nor the translation worked. Do you know how to trigger the change?

maybe you can try lyric plus（https://spicetify.app/docs/advanced-usage/custom-apps/#lyrics-plus）

or this Extensions

I now have the Beautiful Lyrics extension for the romanization needs. Lyrics Plus only provides translation to Chinese on mine, so I was looking for an extension that has both romanization and translation features actually works.

I don't know if this will answering or not but I will answer it. Now to show the lyrics we must have a premium account 😢, so this extension will not works if we don't have a premium account.

Currently working on integrating the free lyric providers to replace the current Spotify lyric provider.

Thanks for the response! My account is premium already, though. I'm not sure what these all should be, but that would be very awesome if an update would fix this. It's promising after all. :D

My account is on the free plan, so I can't figure it out what's causing this failure 😢

How long do you think this will take?

[Richie-Z]

Update: I've bought the premium, and the extension still working fine

@DhruvSinha2003 Soon enough, maybe in the late of June or early July 🤔

For anyone who can't see the translation, that's because the translator API need to through CORS proxy to access the functionalities.

Currently I have made the default CORS Proxy to my free plan railway app of cors-anywhere (da4fcef). But since it's on the free plan, the changes of quota has run out is high, so I advise to do self hosted cors-anywhere on railway.app

Thank you for the update. It just, did nothing. The link is always on the box (How do I put it, like, the link is always there; not disappear once I close the Spotify app). I've requested temporary access to https://cors-anywhere.herokuapp.com/corsdemo as well.

Hmm, that's a weird case. Because everything that you mention supposedly it works (related to the meme: but, in my computer is works 😂).

Maybe you can send me the console message.
To achieve this you need enable the devtools by typing this spicetify enable-devtools in your terminal.

• And then open lyric box,
• right click to any of it,
• and go to the console sections.

to see your saved value of the CORS proxy or any of it, you can go to Application->Local Storage->Type romajin in the filter input box

Woah, I appreciate the help! Is this it?

[Richie-Z]

Yep, that's it.
But I don't saw any error messages produced by Romajin in your console. Are the lyric box is already opened? and for make sure can you give me your installed extensions or custom apps so I can reproduce it myself

[DhruvSinha2003]

any updates on this?
