    /// </summary>
    public void Translate()
    {
        // Input text to be translated
        string inputText = "Now I can seamlessly translate game content!";

        // Perform translation from English to French. Choose different language pairs if required.
        SkillfulAPI.Translate(inputText, LanguagePairs.LanguagePair.EnglishToFrench, result =>
        {
            Debug.Log(result);
        });
    }
}

Detailed Explanation

Start Method

Description: Unity's Start method is called when the script is first initialized. This method triggers the translation process.

Code:

private void Start()
{
    Translate();
}

Functionality:

• Automatically invokes the Translate method when the script starts.

• Suitable for initializing translation tasks or performing actions as soon as the script is activated.

Translate Method

Description: The Translate method sends a specified input text to the SkillfulAI API for translation from English to French and logs the result.

Code:

public void Translate()
{
    // Input text to be translated
    string inputText = "Now I can seamlessly translate game content!";

    // Perform translation from English to French. Choose different language pairs if required.
    SkillfulAPI.Translate(inputText, LanguagePairs.LanguagePair.EnglishToFrench, result =>
    {
        Debug.Log(result);
    });
}

Functionality:

• Sends the input text to the SkillfulAI API for translation.

• Translates the text from English to French. You can adjust the language pair if needed.

• Logs the translated text received from the API response.

Usage Example

1. Add the Script to a GameObject:

   • Attach the Translation script to any GameObject in your Unity scene.

2. Run the Scene:

   • Upon starting the scene, the Translate method will be invoked automatically.

   • The specified input text will be sent to the SkillfulAI API, and the translated text will be logged to the console.

Conclusion

The Translation function provides a straightforward implementation of text translation using the SkillfulAI Gaming SDK. By translating text between languages, you can easily localize content and enhance the accessibility of your Unity project.
