Tencent Translation API

1. Apply for a free API

Open the Tencent Machine Translation Console: https://console.cloud.tencent.com/tmt. If you are not logged in, you will be redirected to the login page. After logging in, reopen the page and agree to the pop-up agreement to use it for free. You get a free quota of 5 million characters per month, which is 100 times that of Baidu.

2. Create appid and key

After completing the first step, open this address: https://console.cloud.tencent.com/cam/capi

Click "Continue to Use"

Then on this page, click "Create Secret Key" to automatically create a pair of ID and key.

Copy SecretId and SecretKey.

Fill them in the Settings menu - Tencent Translation Settings.

Precautions:

Most AI translation channels may limit the number of requests per minute. If an error message indicating that the request frequency has been exceeded appears during use, you can set a delay time in seconds through the software Menu -- Tools/Advanced Settings -- Advanced Settings/set.ini -- Pause time after translation. For example, setting it to 30 means waiting 30 seconds after each translation before performing the next translation to avoid exceeding the frequency limit and causing errors.
