}

Use the free Google translate

• Set provider to Google_Free

    "api_provider": "Google_Free",
    "app_id": "google_free_001",
    "app_key": "google_free_001"
}

• Option 2: Set both app_id & app_key to google_free_002, then our CMS will use the package https://github.com/Stichoza/google-translate-php to do the translate, YOU NEED INSTALL THE PACKAGE VIA COMMAND LINE FIRST: composer require stichoza/google-translate-php

{
    "api_provider": "google_free",
    "app_id": "google_free_002",
    "app_key": "google_free_002"
}

• Limitations of free Google translate: (1) Google only allows a maximum of 5000 characters to be translated at once. If you want to translate a longer text, you can split it to shorter parts, and translate them one-by-one. (2) 503,429,403 error it is most likely that Google has banned your external IP address and/or requires you to solve a CAPTCHA. This is not a bug in this package. Google has become stricter, and it seems like they keep lowering the number of allowed requests per IP per a certain amount of time. You may need to wait 12-36 hours. More details
