Bug Report: Google Translate DOM Conflict
Hi team,
I wanted to report a bug I discovered that might affect other users. This isn’t a support request - just letting you know about the issue so it can be addressed for the broader community.
Steps to Reproduce:
- Have Google Translate “Always translate to English” enabled in Chrome
- Change website language to Japanese
- Error appears in console:
Failed to execute 'removeChild' on 'Node': The node to be removed is not a child of this node.
Expected Behavior:
- Page should translate smoothly without DOM errors
Current Behavior:
- Console shows node removal error
- Error persists until user disables “Always translate to English” in Chrome settings
Environment:
- Platform: Vercel
- Browser: Google Chrome
- Google Translate: Always translate to English enabled
Additional Notes:
- Error occurs consistently when changing language
- Issue affects any user with automatic translation enabled in Chrome
- Users need to manually disable the “Always translate” feature to stop the error
Just flagging this for your awareness to help improve the platform experience for Chrome users who rely on automatic translation.
Best regards, Josh
