Hi Josh,
I'm using version Version 5.0.20090805M of the Google Toolbar.
Google seems to think that the web page I'm trying to access is in
Ukrainian and needs translating into English!
I've deselected the Google Translate tool but it doesn't make any
difference.
If I use a different Browser (i.e.Safari) the Yahoo! site works OK if
I revert to Mail Classic (I had been using the new Yahoo! Mail)
What happens with the FireFox browser is:
1. I enter http://www.yahoo.co.uk into the browser & select Go;
2. Initially the Yahoo! UK & Ireland website starts to load, but then
the browser stops, the website title changes to Google Translate and
the Google Translate header appears with the "Automatically
translated" boxes set to translate from Ukrainian > English;
3. The Yahoo! home page loads underneath but the URL reads:
http://translate.google.com/translate?langpair=uk|en&u=http://uk.yahoo.com/
4. I choose the "Mail" link, "Translating" flashes up and then the
error message appears:
The page you requested (http://login.yahoo.com/?.src=ym&.done=http%3A
%2F%2Fuk.mc285.mail.yahoo.com%2Fmc%2Fwelcome%3F.gx%3D0) attempted to
redirect to a page (https://login.yahoo.com/config/
login_verify2?.src=ym&.done=http%3A%2F%2Fuk.mc285.mail.yahoo.com%2Fmc
%2Fwelcome%3F.gx%3D0) that could not be translated.
Cheers,
DDickie
