Translate games on the fly

@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.

@mitu
Thanks, works well!

@mitu Nevermind. I started a new topic:

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"

@Folly Thank you, now it works!

Lord Vek

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

Folly

@Lord-Vek

Could be, try another button that does not conflict.

Lord Vek

@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).

Folly

@Lord-Vek

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.

Lord Vek

@Lord-Vek OK, Thanks.

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

Folly

@Retrodade

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.
