algent this problem common for many users--with no remedies I could see. only google works. not even bing, yandex, and the two scrapers. Especially the two scrapers (lingva and libre). Dev claims qt problems, hibernate problems (I have a desktop), stop and restart dbus, stop and restart network manager, and lastly, the way the distro is configured. My UFW is default set: allow outgoing/deny incoming and that never stopped a translator from working. Not worth the troubleshooting.
It doesn't work in Endeavour either. Same errors.
I rm
'd this crappy application. Back to Dialect in Flatpak.
Thanks Algent for the links.
SOLVED.
ps--I did have the settings at default with the only manual change as ENG set as primary translate language. (it was blank). And I tried it back in blank.
