Title
Body
On a site I tried adding the Google Translate dropdown using the following code: function googleTranslateElementInit() { new google.translate.TranslateElement({ pageLanguage: 'en' }, 'google_translate_element'); } <script src="http://translate.google.com/translate_a/element.js?cb=googleTranslateElementInit"></script> When you select from the dropdown that the google script inserts, a Google Translate bar appears at the top of the page, and all text is translated in to the selected language. However if I try and trigger the dropdown change using JavaScript, it doesn't work: $('.goog-te-combo').val('fr') 'French' is selected from the dropdown, however Google Translate is not triggered. Why o why does it not work? I've also tried: $('.goog-te-combo').trigger('click') $('.goog-te-combo').change() UPDATE: FYI this is not my site. I was using the Chrome console to load jQuery and execute the jQuery methods.
