Chat Translation

[greenie]

+description+
This plugin will take other players chat and translate it according to the language the player has set in their amx_langmenu.

Example:
- There are 12 players speaking English (and have English set in amx_langmenu).
- There are 5 players speaking German (and have German set in amx_langmenu).
- There are 2 players speaking Spanish (and have Spanish set in amx_langmenu).
- The players in English will now see the German's/Spanish's chat in English.
- The players in German will now see the English's/Spanish's chat in German.
- The players in Spanish will now see the English's/German's chat in Spanish.

How it works:
- Before sending the chat message to each player it will first send it to Google's Translation page (http://translate.google.com/translate_t).
- It will now retrieve the translated text and send it on to the selected player.
- If the sending and receiveing player are using the same language it won't use the translator.

Limitations:
- Only the languages supported in amx_langmenu are supported in this plugin.
- 2 languages in amx_langmenu are also not available on Google (Macedonian and l33t).
- Google Translations are not perfect. There will be errors sometimes of course.
- The HL1 engine cannot display some translated characters (that char will be left out of word).

+cvars+
sv_langdomain ".com"
- Sets the domain in which to use on Google for the translation.
- You will want to set this to the domain closest to your server (make sure it exists first!).
- Example: United States will use .com (Default), United Kingdom will use .co.uk

sv_langmod "mod"
- Here you must set the mod name abbreviation you are using (Default: cs).
- Names to choose from: CS, TFC.

sv_translatefile "URL"
- This cvar allows you to enter the URL to the ChatTranslation.php file.
- The closer the URL is to your game server the better.
- If you set this cvar it will use the ChatTranslation.php file before/after translating.
- The ChatTranslation.php file is good to use so it can fix non-english characters.
- You can host the ChatTranslation.php yourself, it's contained in the zip file.
