Google annoyances: Copy Past images (blogger), Translate web page (chrome)


As it turns out many tasks one thinks should be achievable and possible with actually no tinkering, simply fail.

As it is with the following 2 points:

  • OS X Screenshot to clipboard and then past directly into blogger.com
What makes this really bad is that while you edit the entry, you can actually copy paste the picture into the entry field, but once you publish and view it the pictures have ? placeholder first and maybe are gone later with no indication. I really don't like that Blogger does not have WYSIWYG interface. The editing capabilites are so 2011. Most probably an indication that it is soon another product on death row?
  • OS X translating a web page in German to English
Chrome identifies the web page to be in German and I see on the web page all german text, but applying the translate option does not change a single displayed character. Very strange but ultimately a fail.
