URL format to open DeepL with it set to "Detect Language"

Open ghost opened this issue 7 months ago • 4 comments

Hello.

We can use https://translate.google.com/?sl=auto&tl=en&text=%s as a custom search engine to open Google Translate with the source language set to Automatic. For example: https://translate.google.com/?sl=auto&tl=en&text=buongiorno

Is there an equivalent to open DeepL with it set to Detect Language? I have tried all these but none worked:

https://www.deepl.com/en/translator#buongiorno https://www.deepl.com/en/translator#auto/en-us/buongiorno https://www.deepl.com/en/translator#/en-us/buongiorno https://www.deepl.com/en/translator#en-us/buongiorno

https://www.deepl.com/en/translator#xx/uk/Meine%20Mutter xx is the code for autodetect

@matzebond Thank you for the reply, but your link isn't working for me on either Firefox or Edge.

Other codes work (e.g. https://www.deepl.com/en/translator#de/uk/Meine%20Mutter).

@no-milestone you are right. This used to work but is broken now. Maybe someone else knows if we have a different URL for the auto detect language setting now.

Hi @no-milestone, I just confirmed with the team; this is currently broken, we have a ticket to fix it, I cannot give a timeline on that though.
