Referring to the two Chiba prefecture population transition dashboards.

Now trying to view dashboards via Google translate English just keeps the spinning/processing icon going around and around.

If not directly translate the entire dashboard, maybe include additional "Widget Label(s)" for each widget that translates whatever is in the "Primary" widget label.

While Google Translate can be a useful tool for translating webpages, it may encounter difficulties with certain websites or specific content formats.

Regarding your suggestion of providing additional "Widget Label(s)" for translation, it could potentially be a workaround for translating the primary widget labels. However, it would depend on the capabilities and customization options of the web application or dashboard you're using. If the dashboard allows for customizing widget labels, you could manually add translated labels to improve the readability for non-Japanese speakers.

Another approach you could try is using browser extensions or plugins that offer enhanced translation and software localization services. These tools might provide better compatibility with the dashboard and improve the translation experience.
