Hello everyone,

Hello everyone,

I have been experiencing some issues with Linguee for a couple of days now. I'm getting the following error message when I try to translate something: An error has occured
There is a problem with the remote server. Please try again in a few seconds.

The funny thing is that I only get this error message for the combination SPANISH-DUTCH. All other combinations work perfectly fine. I have asked other people and they get the same error, so it's not a problem of my internet connection or router.

Has anyone of you ever had this problem, do you know what the issue might be and how to solve it?

I have tried to contact Linguee, but my emails get blocked and I haven't received any reply to the issue I raised through their website. I can't find a telephone number (except the one from the data processor, who asked me to send him an email and will then try to send it to Linguee...).

Thanks in advance for your help!

I have just received a reply from Linguee (through the data processor) that they have received my request and will look into it. Fingers crossed

There might be different servers and/or server applications, depending on the languages. An indication is that Linguee uses different URLs for different languages. Just look at the adress line in your browser.

I have been getting the same message with several other language pairs. I hope they'll resolve it quickly.

Caveat emptor Jan 24, 2020

I think it is advisable to warn anybody relying on Linguee for their translations that although it can be a useful tool, the results can be very haphazard and inappropriate. When using it, you really need to know how to sort out the wheat from the chaff.
