Chat Translator · inside your viewer

Read every chat in your own language.

Your Chat Translator key works in the translation feature that is already inside Firestorm and the Second Life Viewer. Local chat, IMs and group chats are translated right in your chat windows. Nothing to install. No bot. No HUD.

The address you need

Paste this into the Endpoint field in your viewer.

https://translate.slecastle.com/

Set it up in 2 minutes

  1. Have your key ready

    Your Chat Translator key looks like CT-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX. It came with your Chat Translator HUD or Key Card. Touch the HUD to see it again.

  2. Open the translation settings

    In your viewer open Preferences ▸ Chat ▸ Typing. Find the Translation part and click Set up (Firestorm: Translation settings).

  3. Choose Azure and fill in 3 fields

    Translation service: Azure Translator. Then:

    Endpoint
    https://translate.slecastle.com/
    Key
    your CT-… key
    Region
    leave it empty
  4. Click Verify, then OK

    The viewer checks your key. When it says the key is verified, click OK.

  5. Turn it on

    Tick Translate chat and set Translate into to your language. Done: messages from other people now show in your language.

What gets translated

Messages you receive: local chat, IMs and group chats. Messages that are already in your language stay as they are.

What does not

Your own messages are sent as you type them. To write in another language, use the Chat Translator Windows app with the same key (press F10 to translate what you type).

Your key

The time on your key starts the first time you use it. One key is for one person: up to 1,500 messages a day, from up to 3 places (networks) a day.

If something does not work

"Key not verified"

Check that the key has all 4 dashes, the endpoint ends with /, and the Region field is empty.

"Daily translation limit reached"

The limit resets every day at 00:00 UTC (4 PM SLT in winter).

"Your key has expired"

Get a new key from the LECASTLE store or the Marketplace and put the new key in the Key field.

Nothing is translated

Make sure Translate chat is ticked and Translate into is your language, then relog once.

Privacy

Messages are sent to our translation service only to translate them. We do not store or log message text.
