Hello,
I have released a chat log add-on with translation functionality.
From now on, you will be able to communicate with any player on Ephinea.

Please download Chatlog_with_translator.zip :oops:
and add it to your addons folder.
Keep translating as much as you like!

You can get a DeepL API key for free!
https://www.deepl.com/pro

If you are unable to create a DeepL account, please try to get Google App Script Depeloyment ID.
How to: https://youtu.be/qSxsuHmwRvc
JavaScript: 
function doPost(e) {
  const data = JSON.parse(e.postData.contents);
  const texts = data.texts;
  const target = data.target;

  const results = texts.map(t => LanguageApp.translate(t, '', target));
  return ContentService.createTextOutput(JSON.stringify(results));
}

Select the translation method and set the key.

Feel free to ask about anything else. ^^

Here's a description of this add-on:
An external translation application (ephinea_chatlog_translator.exe) performs chat translation using the DeepL API.
The add-on reads the translated text and displays it in-game.
Translated text is saved by date.
If you disable the add-on or close the game, the translation application will also stop running.
The source code is available on GitHub.

Suported languages:
  • English (American)
  • English (British)
  • Japanese
  • Korean
  • Chinese (Simplified)
  • Chinese (Traditional)
  • French
  • German
  • Spanish
  • Portuguese (Brazil)
  • Russian
  • Italian
  • Thai
  • Vietnamese
  • Indonesian

This addon is based on ChatLog addon.
Thanks!

Does this send text chat from Ephinea to another server for processing? If so, have you thought about a mechanism for informing other chat participants and gathering their permission first?

Thank you for your question! ^^
I'm a Japanese speaker, so I apologize if my English isn't perfect. ;)

This add-on, together with my custom translation application,
simply translates the open chat messages received by the player using the DeepL API.
I do not send any chat logs to servers operated by individuals.
I do not collect chat logs from users of this add-on.

Please think of it as doing the same thing you would do when translating on the DeepL website.
this app just does it automatically.
https://www.deepl.com/translator

Therefore, I believe it is not necessary to obtain permission from the other speakers.

The source code of the program is publicly available, so if you are concerned, please have someone knowledgeable review it.
If you do not trust it, we recommend that you do not use it.

It would have been possible to create this using a language like Python, which is more open-source and generally considered safer.
However, in that case, each user would need to have the programming language installed on their PC.
For ease of use, we released this application as a native Windows application (exe).

Thank you ^^

Hello.

We now support translation using Google Apps Script.
Setup is a little difficult.

Open it and try it out by following the steps.

Please open Google Apps Script from your Google Drive.

Please copy and paste the script.
Code: 
function doPost(e) {
  const data = JSON.parse(e.postData.contents);
  const texts = data.texts;
  const target = data.target;

  const results = texts.map(t => LanguageApp.translate(t, '', target));
  return ContentService.createTextOutput(JSON.stringify(results));
}

this is great! i've just installed it and haven't gotten to test it yet. i want to know when a message has been translated so i know how to communicate with the others if they don't have the add on too, so i've set it to show the original and translated chat. however, i can't read the original. would it be possible to color code translated text so that i can set it to only show translated chat to reduce space?
 
I don't think you can currently use your Deepl API key with the chat translation add-on.
It seems the Deepl API specifications have changed, so we're working on fixing that now.;)

Thank you for your request.:oops:

You can set it so that only translated sentences are displayed. Please try it.

The color coding is a great idea. I'll try it!
