Using The Plugin
Sign up for a translation service (optional)
Most translation services require user registration to access their services (such as OpenAI, DeepL, Youdao Translate, etc.). Therefore, you may need to create an account, obtain an Authentication Key, and then bind the Authentication Key within the plugin：Preferences(Settings) > Tools > Translation > General > Translation Engine > Configure...
Begin translating
Select a text or hover the mouse over the text > Right-click > Translate
Or use shortcuts for translation, as detailed in Actions.
Translate and replace
Translate the target text and replace it. If the target language is English, the output has several formats: in camel case, with a word separator (when the output contains multiple words, the separator can be configured in the plugin configuration page: Translation Settings > Translate and replace > Separator) and in the original format.
Instructions: Select a text or hover the mouse over the text > Right-click > Translate and Replace... (Or use shortcuts for translation, as detailed in Actions).

FAQ
If you have any questions, please ask here.
What should I do if there is a network error or the network connection times out?
A:
- Check the network environment and make sure the network is running smoothly.
- Check whether a proxy is preventing the plugin from accessing the translation API.
- Check the IDE proxy configuration to see if that is the cause of the problem.
What should I do if the translated content appears garbled?
A: Garbled code generally appears when there is a lack of corresponding characters in the font. You can go to the Settings page of the plugin to modify the font in order to fix the garbled code (as shown below).
What if I can't save the application key?
A: You can try changing the way passwords are saved to
In KeePass(Settings > Appearance & Behavior > System Settings > Passwords). For more details:What if the shortcuts don't work?
A: The shortcut keys are most likely not working because they are being used in other plugins or external applications. You can reset shortcut keys for the corresponding operations.
