I am attempting to run Google Translate 5.x-1.3 on a new Drupal install (version 5.1). I downloaded the module, unzipped it, uploaded the files, and enabled it. For testing purposes, I enabled only two languages - English and French. The site itself is in English. But when I would attempt to translate it into French, I'd get a translation into French of an entirely different page on the website -- one that's not even part of Drupal and in a totally different directory (in the cgi-bin). The same thing happened regardless of whether I was attempting to translate the front page, or an individual node. It doesn't seem to matter if I'm logged in or not. Here's the URL that comes up after I click on the 'Change' button:

http://64.233.179.104/translate_c?hl=en&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&langpair=en%7C...

Why is it trying to translate this page (http://www.iuf.org/cgi-bin/dbman/db.cgi) which actually does exist on our server, rather than the current page in Drupal?

Thanks very much.

I get a very similar result with my pages, where it is trying to translate the image URL of part of my content. The way the module works it seems to ask Google to translate HTML tags as well as text, so hence it fails. I imagine this is where the CGI is coming in as well.

I am closing this issue, since Drupal 4.7, Drupal 5, and Drupal 6 are now not supported.
