Does anyone know why chat language translation doesn't work?

With the recent announcement of real-time language translation for in-experience chat, I have been trying to get the API to work. So far it will not work in either Studio or the live game, even though the legacy chat uses it. I even tried it with two players and it doesn’t work.

This is basically a repo file that I plan to submit in a bug report.

Live Game: Bug Demonstrations

If it works, it will have a (<locale identity>) prefixing the message indicating the language it was translated from.

So does anyone know why this isn’t working?

Its just bad man. Roblox needs to improve it. Its horrible at detecting. Hopefully roblox will update and improve it, i think its an amazing feature that should not be scrapped.

Well, I put in a bug report over the weekend. Roblox responded. Turns out it’s depreciated and no longer maintained. So basically don’t use it. I asked about if/when they planned to release the API for developers who use a custom chat system. So far, no response.
