Chat Translation Settings
This window is accessed from Preferences→ Chat -> Typing. It is used to indicate whether you wish chat to be translated to another language and, if so, which service to use.
NOTE: The translator will translate what you and others type in nearby (local) chat, into the language you choose. It does not translate IMs or group IMs.
NOTE: Translation service is provided by external, third parties; as such, if translation fails to function correctly, it is not the responsibility of the Firestorm viewer.
- Enable machine translation while chatting: Check this if you wish to turn on chat translation. You will then need to configure the service to use.
- Translate chat into: Select a language to translate into.
- Choose translation service: You may select one of two online providers to handle the translation:
- Bing: It appears that Bing has totally changed their API, and that our connection to it is no longer functional.
Ref. FIRE-6459. - Google: You need to supply an API key, which you can obtain from Google (click the underlined link to go to the web page; you may also obtain pricing information). Once you have done that, click Verify to have the key checked. After that, translation should be available.
