Hello Developers!

Open sourcing something else, this one has been open sourced, but it was in a chat I made, no one used it, so I am going to put it here.

How to use:

– How to use:

-- How to use:
local TM = require(script.Parent.Translater) -- or where ever you put it.

-- How to call it:
local Output = TM.Translate('English', 'Spanish', 'Hello, how are you doing?')
--                              ↑          ↑                    ↑
--                             Lang     Lang. to               Text
print(Output)

You can use the following languages:

English, Spanish, French, Russian, and German

This is not good at all, and I am putting it out there just in case anyone want it.

Here is it: Translater.lua (16.9 KB)

Hope this helps someone! Have a good day! :slight_smile:

Why not consider automatic translation + filtering? Seemed to have a much more accurate and greater coverage of language phrases/words.

Automatic translation isn’t that horrible nowadays given they are accelerated with machine learning

I’m not sure what the use case for this is? I don’t mean to be harsh, but there is only 8 words (yet there are 38 copies of blank data entries?), the name is spelt wrong (should be translator), there is no context interpretation, you use a repetitive method used to find translations, there are incorrect cases for some translated words, different translations for the same word, (possibly as a result of) duplicate indexes for capitalised and lowercase words. I would strongly recommend using the Localisation API, or some form of HTTP request to an online translator instead.

why? This is really inefficient and should not be used whatsoever. Before publishing your code, make sure to make it clean and efficient

Edit: code is also very repetitive, this code single handedly broke the DRY rule 50+ times…

Also, let’s say you input a word not there, it won’t work.

this isn’t auto translation, it’s manual translation in tables. Which is very inefficient

Ok, hold on.

This was before I knew that roblox has made auto translation, Also, to use any of the good translations api, requires a api key.

And this code should not be used in a game, unless you update it.

Didn’t hear of yandex.translate?

A API key is needed.

#9

So what? Just make the module let you set api key. What’s the problem with it

I want to make something that does not require a API key.
