Does anyone happen to know why my Babbler consistently turns itself off after about 4 minutes? I've read and reread the instructions on the webpage, but I can make no sense of this....

Thanks!

Mine does the same thing, I'd love to know!

My Babbler seems to be much less stable since the recent updates. Sometimes it translates a remark, sometimes it doesn't. Or it waits a long time to do it.

Yeah, that too.

Is there a good alternative?

I'm pretty sure that the babbler works by sending an http request out to the bablefish website, then parsing the returned html to get the translation. So it's quite possible that problems / delays have nothing to do with the babbler itself, but could be problems or delays on either the bablefish website, or the region you are in having issues with the http function.
