Translate

How to use the Translate robot skill

Use the Microsoft Translate Text cloud service to translate text in any other languages supported by the API. Input text language is auto detected. For example , you can translate English only responses returned by Microsoft Cognitive Vision plugin. This service requires an internet connection. That means your EZ-B will need to be put into Wi-Fi Client Mode. Consult the appropiate learn tutorial for changing the EZ-B to Wi-Fi Client Mode or add a second USB WiFi adapter from here: http://www.ez-robot.com/Tutorials/Course/5
