      Here's my PC98 config: https://pastebin.com/GNisWHPH

      3rd line from the config says:

      ai_service_enable = false

      So the translation service is disabled.

        Derp.

        This is why I said I'd look tomorrow, I knew I would have done something stupid.

        In my defence, my daughter is sleeping poorly so I am not at 100% over here.

        I need to work out if I need to enable this for each system then, surely if the global settings are being overridden by this false line on each individual system setting then I need to edit each system config that I want to use. Don't answer that! I'll work it out.

        Thanks very much, @mitu !

        Edit: I haven't worked out the global/individual system issue yet, but I have this working on PC98. Clever stuff!

          Hi all !

          ai_service_mode = "1"
          ai_service_pause = "false"
          

          I was experimenting with translation option again.
          When changing the above settings it does not pause and speaks directly the translation to you.

          It's also possible to choose many input/output languages.

          ai_service_source_lang = "0"
          ai_service_target_lang = "1"
          

          0= not set
          1= English
          2= Spanish
          3= French
          4= Italian
          5= German
          6= Japanese
          7= Dutch
          etc.... and much more.

          Perhaps also interesting for you @dmmarti !

              Hi Folly and mitu

              If I wanna use a gamepad button to start the translation, what should I do. I've try :

              input_ai_service = "nul" # I tried  ---> r3    , r3_btn   14 (#associated with this button)
              input_ai_service_axis = "nul"
              input_ai_service_btn = "nul" # I tried  ---> r3    , r3_btn   14 (#associated with this button)
              input_ai_service_mbtn = "nul"
              

              nothing works

                I added this in /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg :

                input_ai_service_btn = "11"
                

                Worked perfectly !

                You should then use 14 instead, I think.

                  @dteam As @Folly said, you need to add the button's input code, not the name. Look in the .cfg file of your controller (in /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch-joypads) and find the input code for the button you want to use, then set the value accordingly for input_ai_service_btn.

                        Hello,

                        I am trying to use the AI Service to translate Japanese games. I read all the previous postings and I gave these settings into retroarch.cfg:

                        ai_service_enable = "true"
                        ai_service_mode = "0"
                        ai_service_pause = "true"
                        ai_service_source_lang = "6"
                        ai_service_target_lang = "1"
                        ai_service_url = "http://ztranslate.net/service?api_key=ECRCQTSA9D"

                        I gave as button from within Retroarch/Hotkeys the "11" button of my controller.
                        It doesn't work for me. What did I do wrong? And, what settings I have to give to have an effect like in Folly's picture in the previous page?

                        Thank you in advance.

                          Thank you in advance.

                          I used all your settings and added :
                          input_ai_service = "t"
                          input_ai_service_btn = "11"

                          I works over here.

                          When using a hotkey enable key/button then also use that key/button.
                          So check your retroarch.cfg for these :
                          #input_enable_hotkey =
                          #input_enable_hotkey_btn =
                          When commented they are off.
                          Otherwise you will see something like this :
                          input_enable_hotkey = "ctrl"
                          input_enable_hotkey_btn = "10"

                              Hmmm... Translation doesn't work with lr-fuse. Is it because the hotkey (select) is also used for the virtual keyboard?

                                Could be, try another button that does not conflict.

                                  @Folly I mean you have to press hotkey (select) together with the translation key, which in my case is 11 (left analog stick pressed down).

                                    What language are you trying to translate ?

                                    There are system specific retroarch.cfg files.
                                    If you cannot use that select button then add some other key in the system specific retroarch.cfg.

                                        @Folly will this work with older versions of retroarch ? Or does it only work on newer versions ?
                                        Thanks

                                          The first post of this topic is from November 2020.
                                          It already worked back then.
                                          So indeed it will work with older versions.

                                          I have intergraded in my script.
                                          If you use my script and installed a system then you can already use Hotkey "T" for translation.
