Common issues

A short list of things that come up often, and what to do about them. Because Aquilla is in alpha, if something here doesn’t match what you see, the product is the source of truth — and the gap is worth reporting.

My edits say “queued” or “offline”

This is usually fine. Aquilla saves every edit to a local outbox first and sends it to the server when the connection is healthy.

• Queued — your edits are saved locally and waiting to send.
• Offline — there’s no connection right now; your edits are safe and will send automatically when you’re back online.

Check your internet connection. You can keep translating either way — nothing is lost. See Real-time sync & presence.

I don’t see a teammate’s latest changes

Presence and edits sync live when everyone is connected. If you’re not seeing updates, check your sync status (above). After a migration import, updates to cells you’ve already edited won’t appear live — close and reopen the project to pull them in.

The microphone won’t record

Aquilla needs permission to use your microphone. When prompted, choose Allow. If you dismissed the prompt, re-enable mic access for aquilla.app in your browser’s site settings, then reload. Audio recording works in current Chromium-based browsers and Firefox. See Audio & voices.

Audio won’t play, or is slow the first time

The first time you play a voice in a given language, Aquilla downloads that language’s speech model — so the first playback can take a moment. After that it’s cached and works offline. If playback never starts, check that your browser isn’t blocking the download and reload the page.

A cell has no decay marker — does that mean it’s done?

No. A missing decay marker only means decay hasn’t crossed the warning threshold — not that a human has confirmed the cell. Use the reviewer queue and the Health Ring to see real validation coverage.

I can’t edit / I don’t see an option I expected

You may not have the role for it. Editing, validating, inviting, exporting, and changing settings each need a certain role. See Roles & permissions, and ask a project maintainer or owner if you need more access.

My view settings didn’t follow me to another computer

That’s expected — view settings and “resume where I left off” are stored per account in this browser and don’t sync across devices. Set them again on the new device.
