Auto-translation bot

[turt2live]

Accept room-level settings for language translation. For example !translate * english to convert everything to English, if it is detected in another language (this would be the default).

@turt2live Seems already implemented and hosted @translate:t2bot.io? If it opensource, can you share link to repo?

[turt2live]

That's https://github.com/maubot/translate which as far as I'm aware is not automatic.

Murznn how does that bot work?

[MurzNN]

@rubo77 via simple commands like

!translate en ru Hello world.

[rubo77]

The bot is successfully invited and responds with the help message

I tried

!translate en ru Hello world.

In the private room with the bot, but it's not responding since 30 minutes

[rubo77]

I also tried with square brackets:

!translate en de [Hello world]

No response, while this gives the help error response which is ambiguous:

!translate englisch

Usage: !translate [from] <to> [text or reply to message]

[MurzNN]

For me it works well, and if it answers you with help text, it must works well for you too!

Now for me it works:

I found out: when copy paste your formatted text on android, it doesn't work, see maubot/translate#2
