About
-----

[](#about)

This extension allows you to translate individual fields within a DCA (Data Container Array) with just one click, leveraging the [DeepL](https://www.deepl.com) API for accurate translations. It also includes caching of previously translated texts to optimize performance and minimize API calls.

System requirements
-------------------

[](#system-requirements)

- [Contao 5.x](https://github.com/contao/contao)
- [DeepL](https://www.deepl.com/de/your-account/keys) API Key (free or paid plan)

Installation &amp; Configuration
--------------------------------

[](#installation--configuration)

- Install the extension via Contao Manager or Composer (`composer require numero2/contao-deepl`)
- Add your [DeepL](https://www.deepl.com/de/your-account/keys) API Key to your `.env`> `DEEPL_API_KEY=xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx`
- Alternatively, you can add the API key to your `config/config.yaml`

```
deepl:
    api_key: 'xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxxx'

```

- A preferred mapping can be created for language variants (e.g. British English en-GB, Brazilian Portuguese pt-BR, etc.). The exact language code to be used can be found at Deepl.com.

```
deepl:
    api_key: 'xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxxx'
    pref_lang:
      en:en-GB
      pt:pt-BR

```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

After installation, each field that can be translated will display a small DeepL translation icon [![DeepL Logo](public/img/icon.svg)](public/img/icon.svg) next to its label. Once clicked, DeepL will automatically translate the text in the field to match the language of your current page settings.

[![Contao Backend showing the DeepL translation button](docs/backend-news-translate.png)](docs/backend-news-translate.png)

💡 **Hint:** You can also translate all fields at once by pressing `ALT+T` on Windows or `Option+T` on Mac.
