      Hello, I'd like to setup something like ztranslate for retropie cores. The video guides I see keep assuming it's for setting up on Windows PC. I don't find the options to set this program up on the in-game retroarch menus. Does this mean I have to enter retroarch settings through Raspberry pies retroarch configuration menus? I'm kind of nervous about that because the last time I poked through that menu, something happened where I could never boot up games anymore and I don't even know what it was o.O

        I'm not sure where the translation options are shown in the menu, if you want to enable from the configuration file I think only 2 options are really needed to start:

        ai_service_enable = "true"
        input_ai_service = "<key>"
        

        where <key> should be replaced by the keyboard key that will trigger the translation service. If you're using a gamepad, then input_ai_service becomes input_ai_service_btn and the value should be the code for the input button you want to use (i.e. input_ai_service_btn = "11") - you can find out the values for each button by looking at your gamepad configuration in /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch-joypads/<gamepad_name>.cfg.
