 * Dear Support,
 * I am using the free version of the TranslatePress. Until now I had only minor
   issues, which got solved, and the plugin is working fine, except one thing.
 * If I change to/use my default language (HU), the **textarea** gets buggy, it 
   stars to push the first letter in front of the input text and changes the order
   of characters randomly. The wordpress theme is written in English, but I set 
   as default language the HU.
 * After a couple of order of research I found out, that my theme is using a jQuery
   textarea feature, because in html I get a jqte_editor class instead of textarea
   class.The textarea is a hidden input in the form:
 *     ```
       <div class="jqte_editor" contenteditable="true"></div>
               <div class="jqte_source jqte_hiddenField">
                   <textarea name="cand_cover_letter" rows="6"
                       class="form-control job_textarea"
                       placeholder="Kisérőlevél (Kérjük néhány mondatban írja le jelentkezésének motivációját.)"
                       data-no-translation-placeholder="" data-origin="textarea">
                   </textarea>
               </div>
       ```
   
 * So I tried to use the `trp_no_translate_selectors` filter defined on your site,
   excluding anything which is related to any textarea or any jqte html classes:
 *     ```
       add_filter( 'trp_no_translate_selectors', 'trpc_no_stranslate_selectors', 10, 2);
       function trpc_no_stranslate_selectors($selectors_array, $language){
           $selectors_array[] = '.textarea';
           $selectors_array[] = '.jqte_editor';
           $selectors_array[] = '.jqte';
           return $selectors_array;
       }
       ```
   
 * It didn’t solve the issue. I am not even sure that is TranslatePress related 
   issue, it might be some weird JS bug. I put a video [here](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1vLLcVhCv2mYjx4IkIEbjK0j6ep-bL382/view?usp=sharing),
   to make it clear what I am talking about.
 * The weird thing is that it happens only if I change to the translated (set as
   default) language: HU. In this case, no translation needed. There will be typed
   in or pasted in text from the side of the users.
 * **Could you please help me out identifying the problem?
    Could there be a jQuery
   conflict with your plugin?
 * Thanks,
    Szilard

 * Hi Szilard,
 * That really is waird. You can try is to go to TranslatePress -> Settings -> Advanced
   and enable “Disable dynamic translation”. You can follow this link to see exactly
   where that is: [https://translatepress.com/docs/settings/advanced-settings/](https://translatepress.com/docs/settings/advanced-settings/).
 * Also, can you provide the URL to where this is happening? Taking a live look 
   at it will be useful. No need for login data, the page’s URL is enough.
 * Best reagards,
    Cristian

 * Hi Cristian,
 * > Disable dynamic translation
 *  solved the problem. Thank you.
    I was almost sure that it’s a jQuery conflict(
   I guess the dynamic translation is also based on javascript).
 * If I see any other issues after disabling the dynamic translation I’ll be back
   to you with the link.
    Thanks, Szilard
