Translate

This is an external module. Please note that it may or may not work with the current release. Contact the author if you have any questions, but feel free to ask on IRC, someone might able to help you there, too.

This module acts as a translator between people, neither of whom know each other's language. Each person can just write in his/her preferred language, and this module will take care of translating both sides and seamlessly displaying the translated text to both parties. Module works for:

• private messages between you and another person;
• channels, between you and all other people on that channel;
• channels, between you and one particular other person on that channel.

The module uses Google Translate via its API.

You can use set #channel/nick to translate messages only to/from that nick on this channel. Messages to them have one of these forms (assuming, we speak to Nicky):

• Nicky hello
• Nicky, hello
• Nicky: hello

set command has 1 optional parameter in the end - your language for translating conversations. If it's empty, using default, which is specified with my command.

Example:

set #znc/Nicky de bg

if you want to speak with Nicky (who is German) on #znc using Bulgarian.
