Tencent Translation API

1. Apply for a free API

Open the Tencent Machine Translation console, https://console.cloud.tencent.com/tmt. Similarly, if you are not logged in, you will be redirected to the login page. Log in and reopen the page. After opening, agree to the pop-up agreement, and you can 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 using".

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

Copy SecretId and SecretKey.

Fill them into the "Settings" menu - "Tencent Translation Settings".

Notes:

Most AI translation channels may limit the number of requests per minute. If an error occurs during use indicating that the request frequency has been exceeded, you can set a number of seconds through the software Menu -- Tools/Advanced Settings -- Advanced Settings/set.ini -- Pause time after translation, such as 30. This means that after each translation, wait 30 seconds before performing the next translation to avoid exceeding the limit and causing errors.
