Starting from version 1.92, you can use ByteDance Volcano Ark models for translation in the software. The specific activation and usage methods are as follows.

Step 1: Log In & Sign Up

Open the URL: https://console.volcengine.com/auth/login/ If you don't have an account, sign up first. If you already have one, just log in.

Step 2: Real-Name Authentication

This is unavoidable. It's a legal requirement for domestic services in China, so you must comply to use it. After logging in, open the account center URL and click on Real-Name Authentication.

You can choose to authenticate via facial recognition or bank card verification.

Step 3: Activate and Claim Benefits

Then click on any "Activate Service". On the page that opens, select all models, confirm activation, and continue by clicking "Submit".

After completing this, go back to the Activation Management page and refresh it. You should now see that all services are activated.
