Dynamic translation for chat

Hi,

In the example for dynamic translation you hardcode which language is being translated to what.

For chat, it obviously would have to be dynamic as I don't know what each users selected language is ahead of time. How would you suggest I detect what language the original message is in, in order to translate to the users selected language?

Thanks,
Steve

Use "auto" as the original language. That will make google to detect the language from the text:
string text = I2.Loc.GoogleTranslation.ForceTranslate("Hello World", "auto", "es");
//or
GoogleTranslation.Translate("Hello World", "auto", "es", OnTranslationReady);

Hope that helps,
Frank

That's awesome, thanks!

Can I also use "auto" to translate to whatever the user currently has set as their default language?

Edit: I figured it out. Thanks for the help!
