Hi everyone,
We recently identified an issue that could cause conference pages to appear blank when using a browser’s built‑in auto‑translate feature.
What was happening
When browser auto‑translate was enabled, some users experienced a blank screen across conference pages, including the Hallway and in‑session pages. This happens because auto‑translate dynamically changes the page text, which interferes with how our React-based interface manages and renders the content. When those changes occur outside of the application’s control, it can create a conflict that results in the page failing to load correctly.
What we changed
To prevent this issue and ensure conferences load reliably, we have disabled browser auto‑translate functionality across all pages.
Release date
This change was released on June 4.
What this means for you
Browser auto‑translate will no longer work on conference pages. This change helps prevent the blank page issue and ensures a more stable conference experience.
Looking ahead
We are planning an enhancement to the Hallway that will allow users to select their preferred language directly within the experience.
If you have questions or feedback, feel free to share them in the comments.
