Hi

Google translate on my old I-Pad is not working as it should

Same text/language output, slightly different text format.

There are quite a few question marks ? Littered about outputted text, which looks a bit different.



How can I fix it ?

iPadOS version? which version of GT? Does the website work in Safari or any other browser you use? Can you kindly provide a screen shot?

I can’t seem to find info on which system I am running.
How do I find it?
I have recently had a message

iPadOS 16 takes the versatility of iPad even further with powerful new productivity and collaboration features. iCloud Shared Photo Library makes it easy to keep your family photos up to date. Messages adds the ability to edit or undo a sent message, and new ways to start and manage collaborations. Mail has new inbox and compose tools, and Safari adds Shared Tab Groups and next-generation security with passkeys. Stage Manager introduces an entirely new way to multitask on iPad, allowing you to work with multiple overlapping windows and easily switch between them.

16.2 is available.
I have not downloaded it. I heard that old machines do not benefit from it.
I was looking into my settings and found a graphic of how the disc space is allocated. Unfortunately I can’t find it again. I feel that this may help somebody with greater tech ability to pinpoint the problem. Would this be of any use?

You copied the french text from e.g. a PDF? Seems like that there are hidden characters which become “translated”. If I copy and paste the text from your screenshot there is no problem in e.g. Safari on iPadOS 16.x (I checked on 3 different iPads/.point-releases):
