Word suggestions don't work if Forvo reaches its limit

Postby Artem S. Tashkinov » Sun Dec 05, 2010 9:11 am

I have noticed a bug in GD.

When I try to translate a word which doesn't have any translations in all installed dictionaries, then if Forvo reaches its daily limit then "Close words" won't be shown at all.

I will attach two screenshots, so that you could see it yourself.

Close words are only shown when no other results are found. Here Forvo did return some result, so 'close words' aren't shown. I don't see this as a bug.

It seems like you treat Forvo error message as a result? ;)

I strongly believe if Forvo is the only dictionary that has results, word forms should be shown.

Konstantin, Forvo is not a dictionary after all ;)

Heh, would it be better to apply for your own API key so that the error goes away once and for all?

Or, if you already have one, and reaching the limit (1.000 requests per day), then it makes sense to ask for quota increase: http://www.forvo.com/contact/

P.S. As for your suggestion, yeah, it does seem logical. Error response is an error response, not a proper one.
