| 1 | Message Translation -- Version 1.4 |
| 2 | |
| 3 | If you have ever received a mail message from someone who is not in |
| 4 | your country, you probably noticed that they used a different language |
| 5 | than you. If you don't know their language, a translator might help you |
| 6 | out. |
| 7 | |
| 8 | |
| 9 | Features |
| 10 | ======== |
| 11 | |
| 12 | * Multiple translation servers |
| 13 | * Uses your language preference for setting up default translation options |
| 14 | * You pick where you see the translation box |
| 15 | * You decide which translation buttons you see |
| 16 | |
| 17 | |
| 18 | Description |
| 19 | =========== |
| 20 | |
| 21 | This plugin lets you select, on a per-user basis, the translator you want |
| 22 | to use. It defaults to None. It has different servers you can use, and |
| 23 | it lists their strengths and limits with each one. Also, there are |
| 24 | multiple servers just in case one changes their interface or goes down. |
| 25 | |
| 26 | Since SquirrelMail is designed to have multiple translations of the text, |
| 27 | this plugin takes your preference and will use it for selecting what to |
| 28 | translate the text into. |
| 29 | |
| 30 | |
| 31 | Future Work |
| 32 | =========== |
| 33 | |
| 34 | * Grab translation directly from server (need to send POST request directly) |
| 35 | * Translate your outgoing message |
