Simple C# CSGO chat translator

CSGO-Translator

Easy to use, single-file CS:GO chat translation tool.

You probably know the feeling of not being able to communicate in a match because everyone speaks a different language. Well, gone are those days. With this tool you can read translations of all foreign language messages, and even respond to them in their language. All while staying in the game.

CSGO-Translator will read the console output, detect chat messages, and then translate them with Google Translate. These translations can then be sent back to the in-game chat using Telnet.

You can also send a command to CSGO-Translator from the in-game chat. Which allows you to request a translation for some text in any language. This translation will then be sent in the in-game chat using Telnet.

All of this is accomplished using official CS:GO launch options. So this should be safe to use on official servers.

How to use

1. Download the latest release (or build it yourself)
2. Set CS:GO launch options: -condebug & -netconport 2121 (how do I do this?)
3. start CS:GO & CSGO-Translator
4. (Optional) Change the options in CSGO-Translator to your liking. (List of language codes)
5. Read translations & send commands in the in-game chat!

Features & Examples

Translations in in-game chat

By default all messages from the all-chat which are not in your preferred language (set in the options), will be sent to your team-chat. You can change this in the options menu.

Commands from in-game chat

By default commands are allowed from the team-chat. You can change this in the options menu.
