Translation

NyaTerm includes multi-provider text translation, which is useful for quickly translating logs, errors, command descriptions, or any unfamiliar text you see in the terminal.

How to use it​

  1. Select text in the terminal
  2. Right-click to open the context menu
  3. Open the Translate submenu
  4. Choose one of the available providers
  5. Read the result in the popup dialog

The dialog shows:

  • The original text
  • The translated result
  • The detected source language, when provided
  • A one-click copy action for the translated text

Which providers appear​

Not every provider is always shown in the terminal context menu.

Available out of the box​

These providers do not require extra setup:

  • Google
  • Microsoft

Shown after credentials are configured​

These providers appear only after credentials are entered in Settings → Translation:

  • DeepL
  • Baidu
  • Alibaba
  • Youdao

Translation settings​

In Settings → Translation, you can configure:

  • Target language
  • API credentials for each provider

One important detail: the settings page mainly manages target language and credentials. It does not define one permanent default provider for all translation actions. The actual provider is still chosen from the terminal context menu when you translate.

Good use cases​

  • Quickly understanding English errors or third-party logs
  • Reading mixed-language output more efficiently
  • Comparing translated operational notes or config comments
  • Translating selected output before forwarding it to a teammate
