"Translate" module simply doesn't work

[clorteau]

Hey, I love this bot, I really miss it when it's down on SDIRC.

That being said you said you would like it if people reported defects on here. So here's a defect: the "Translate" module simply doesn't work at all in my experience.

Usage: help [] [] [<-flag>]. Use ;plugins to get a list of installed plugins. Use help --info to get general plugin information. Use the ;allhelp command to view an HTML help file for this bot.

help Translator
I'd love to help you, but couldn't find that command (Translator) in any plugin.

clorteau,

Sorry, it has been a long time and I'm catching back up here. Google killed the free translation API. It used to work brilliantly but about 3 years ago Alphabet went around killing off all the great free APIs. Weather, Maps, Translate, etc. all gone behind the paywall. If anyone knows a free source for the translations, I'd be happy to rework the bot modules.

Thanks!!!
