Unfortunately this happens from time to time, especially when your internet connection is slow. I'm working on an improved version that I hope to publish soon. Have a nice day! Edit: More reliable version already published!

Hello Brecht - very many thanks for this, invaluable. Sometimes it doesn’t work, and I get a box saying, ‘Numerical argument out of domain. The range you specified was invalid. You asked for items 1 to 0. OK’ Any idea? Robert

Glad you like my shortcut! Regarding the problem, do you have a way of reproducing it? I’ll have a look at my logic though and see if I can see anything obvious. Thank you, Brecht

It’s happening most of the time with me now, though it had worked fine. Can I share a screen recording with you. Would that help?

I do remember once while playing around with the shortcut that I got some errors, not sure if the error you’re talking about, but after some debugging I found that Google was blocking me for ‘unusual activity’ ;) Do you have Reddit? You can send me a message there, will be easier @brechtbakker Happy New Year :)

Hello @brechtbakker, I made a shortcut called Ultimate Translator [ https://routinehub.co/shortcut/1802 ] which uses your G Translate shortcut. I’m giving you credit on the RoutineHub Shortcut description and also when running the shortcut if the user doesn’t have the Google Translate installed [ I invite to install it ;) ]. I wish you liked it. Thanks for making this possible and good job! - @jsmglx

Hi @jsmglx, the main aim for this shortcut was to make Google Translate available to use in other shortcuts, so I'm glad you're using it :) Thanks for the credits!

Updating shortcuts through UpdateKit shortcut on poor connection & cellular data keeps making my iPhone unresponsive & then if I manage to go to home screen, it'll retrogress to endless updating process whenever the Shorcuts app reopen after

I have removed UpdateKit in the latest version, it now checks directly with RoutineHub if there’s a newer version. Hope this also solves your problem :) Have a good day/night!
