This plugin is an OVOS language plugin for OpenVoiceOS. It provides text translation and language detection through Google Translate, without an API key.

The package registers two plugins:

  • ovos-google-translate-plugin: translates text between languages.
  • ovos-google-lang-detector-plugin: detects the language of a text.

Install

pip install ovos-google-translate-plugin

Usage

Other components use this plugin to translate utterances and texts, for example solvers and ovos-bidirectional-translation-plugin.

Add this to one of the configuration files (for example ~/.config/mycroft/mycroft.conf):

"language": {
    "detection_module": "ovos-google-lang-detector-plugin",
    "translation_module": "ovos-google-translate-plugin"
}
