First add this plugin via DatoCMS Settings > Plugins > Add (/admin/plugins/new).

Plugin settings

For this plugin you can configure global settings and configure the plugin per field. Choose to apply the plugin automatically to all string/text fields or add the plugin as addon per model/field. Settings set per model/field will always overwrite all global settings and empty settings for a model will be overwriten by global settings.

Global Settings

• Auto apply to fields (switch): When enabled this will automatically apply the plugin to all structured-text, rich-text, string, text and seo fields. By changing the following setting you can choose on which fields this plugin will be applied.

• Field where this plugin is enabled (multi select): You can choose to which fields the plugin will be applied.

> Options of Field where this plugin is enabled: > > - Structured-text fields > - Rich-text fields > - String fields > - Text fields > - SEO fields > - Slug fields

General Settings

• Translation service (multi select): You can choose which service will be used to translate. The chosen service will be used and an option to add an api key will be presented automatically. Some translation services require some extra settings. These will be shown when a Translation service is selected.

> Options of Translation service: > > - Yandex translate > - DeepL API Pro > - DeepL API Free > - OpenAI

• API key of [selected translation service] (text field): Add the API key of the translation service that you have selected. The plugin will give errors if the API key isn't added or if the translation service serves an error.

• Exclude key (text field): Add a comma separated list of keys of fields you don't want to translate. This can be usefull for rich text components where certain fields have fixed keys (i.e. choosing a theme or have fixed variants). If you translate a field that is included in the list it will skip the field and copy the content 'as is' in the translated field.
