      @adambegood I think you have to replace HEREISMYKEY with the actual key that you get when you register to the website.

        Great shout! I've amended that now, and still no joy. I am focusing on PC98 so far as that is where I have a few games I'd like to try. I tried putting the code into /pc98/retroarch.cfg also, but that didn't do it.

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

        I am pressing the keyboard hotkey and the 't' key.

        Edit: let me have a look at this in the morning, I have had a read around the issue now and hopefully can try some things out.

          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.

                              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 ?
