The discussion centers around the recurring issues of Google Translate crashing React applications and other web platforms. Several users have encountered problems where translation functionalities disrupt the app's performance or lead to severe issues. While some users suggest implementing custom localization instead of relying on Google Translate, others highlight the complexity inherent in the DOM structure, particularly in applications built with React. It is noted that systems like Svelte may offer a more resilient alternative due to its absence of a virtual DOM, potentially avoiding such pitfalls. Additionally, suggestions were made about future improvements for single-page applications (SPAs), possibly leveraging technologies such as WebAssembly (wasm) to mitigate these problems.
