Setting up and using the Amazon Translate API

The Amazon Translate API is the third translate API to be supported by WorldwideChat. It's perfect for people who actively use or prefer AWS.

Creating an AWS Account

First, go to this page to sign up. Make sure your account is successfully created by signing in as a root user.

Next, go to the IAM Dashboard. Click "My access key" under Quick links on the right side of the webpage.

Finally, click on access keys and "Create New Access Key." The information it gives you once this is done will be your access key and secret key, which you can put into the config entry below.

Now that you have your access and secret keys, you need to pick an amazon region closest to you. Get all available AWS regions with this list.

Once you've picked a region closest to you, write down its corresponding code. (EX: If you are closest to US East (Ohio), you would type us-east-2.)

Enabling Amazon Translate in WorldwideChat

If you do not want to use /wwcc, you can add these values manually:

Go to the WorldwideChat plugin folder on your Minecraft server, and open config.yml. Scroll down to this section:

useAmazonTranslate: true

amazonAccessKey: (<---- Paste your access key one space after the colon)

amazonSecretKey: (<---- Paste your secret key one space after the colon)

amazonRegion: (<---- Paste your amazon region one space after the colon)

Make sure that ONLY useAmazonTranslate is set to true. Multiple translators cannot be enabled.

And finally, restart your Minecraft server or reload the plugin.
