 * This seems to have been reported before in the pro forums as well months ago 
   but without any responses. I’ve posted there and here as well since this forum
   seems a bit more active..
 * The full error:
 *     ```wp-block-code
       a:6:{s:4:"date";s:19:"08/11/2024 14:11:21";s:2:"ID";i:244;s:7:"success";b:0;s:6:"errors";a:2:{s:6:"errors";a:1:{s:31:"Parameter 'text' not specified.";a:1:{i:0;s:0:"";}}s:10:"error_data";a:0:{}}i:0;s:17:"Translation error";i:1;s:94:"{"success":false,"errors":{"errors":{"Parameter 'text' not specified.":[""]},"error_data":[]}}";}
       ```
   
 * This happens using both Pro and Free version of the plugin with the free API 
   from DeepL. I’ve yet to try upgrading the DeepL account to use their pro endpoints.
 * I tried debugging myself to figure out what’s happening but the codebase is a
   bit hard to follow. This happens on both WC products with the classic editor 
   and pages with block editor, so it’s not tied to one specific editor.

 * Did you check that post content, post title and post excerpt are checked on the
   Settings Page ?

 * Ah, they were not! I’d recommend maybe adding a notice to the metabox or maybe
   improving the error messaging since these are also not toggled on by default 
   when activating the plugin and are a bit down one of the settings tabs (easy 
   to miss).
 * Enabling them fixes the issue. 
   Though shouldn’t it work anyway if I’ve enabled
   some meta with Pro?
