Accumulated cache and junk files can cause problems in an application. Clearing it from X can help you resolve the issues with translating posts.

On Android

Tap and hold the X app icon > select app info > tap on Clear data > Clear cache.

Step 2: Scroll down, select the X app, and tap on Offload App. Tap on the Offload App once again to confirm.

Step 3: Now, tap on Reinstall App.
