Example:
- Code that works and displays google translate toolbar:
<!doctype html>
<html lang="pl">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta name="viewport"
content="width=device-width, user-scalable=no, initial-scale=1.0, maximum-scale=1.0, minimum-scale=1.0">
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="ie=edge">
<title>Test</title>
<script>
function googleTranslateElementInit() {
new google.translate.TranslateElement({
pageLanguage: 'pl'
}, 'google_translate_element');
}
</script>
<script src="//translate.google.com/translate_a/element.js?cb=googleTranslateElementInit"></script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="google_translate_element"></div>
</body>
</html>
- Code that does not display google translate toolbar:
<!doctype html>
<html lang="pl">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta name="viewport"
content="width=device-width, user-scalable=no, initial-scale=1.0, maximum-scale=1.0, minimum-scale=1.0">
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="ie=edge">
<title>Test</title>
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/prototype/1.7.3.0/prototype.js"></script>
<script>
function googleTranslateElementInit() {
new google.translate.TranslateElement({
pageLanguage: 'pl'
}, 'google_translate_element');
}
</script>
<script src="//translate.google.com/translate_a/element.js?cb=googleTranslateElementInit"></script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="google_translate_element"></div>
</body>
</html>
The difference: adding prototype.js.
Error in the console: enter image description here
What should I do for the google translate element to work with the prototype.js? I would like to add that about 3 months ago everything was working fine.
There is a possibility that you are hit with the same conflict that happens on Google Maps Javascript API.
