Hi,
At the moment, only Microsoft and Google services are supported on the plugin, which both are paid services. However, Yandex provides a free translation API, which could be really useful used in Discourse forums.
I started modifying the plugin to add its support, but I am stuck here:
[https://github.com/barreeeiroo/discourse-translator/commit/3ef433473a7314b580a63fc8c8794e219899ddc4](https://github.com/barreeeiroo/discourse-translator/commit/3ef433473a7314b580a63fc8c8794e219899ddc4)
Any idea of what am I missing? The translation button does not appear in posts.
_Tested a post in Spanish, with both Discourse and Profile locale in English_

naive guess, but maybe you did not enable the plugin in side settings? maybe there is a hardcoded check for either google or ms keys?

I searched for Microsoft and Google references in the plugin, and I think I’ve already modified all of them

BTW, is there a way to print to the console from a plugin? 😅
I would like to check which piece of code gets executed

In development, you can use `puts` to print to your console
If you want to print something to `/logs`, then
```plaintext
Rails.logger.warn("Message to log")
```

Will submit a PR after polishing the last details

Hello,
Thanks for this contribution 🙂
Just a question, it’s marked as merged, but the [doc](https://meta.discourse.org/t/discourse-translator/32630) does not mention it, what is the current status of Yandex translator in the T++ plugin?

Just to round this out, I believe Yandex is currently one of the supported services:
