While the Translate plugin is usable, when compared to other translation plugins like DevilBro's Translator, it lacks features that may be required for the average user.
I propose that, at the very least, part of the plugin's featureset contain the ability to automatically toggle the translator on and off depending on the channel you are in. You toggle it on in one dm, because your friend is foreign? Great! This feature keeps it that way, so you can talk to other people _while talking to _them.__
Of course, this doesn't achieve full feature-parity with the plugin I've linked. That's fine for me at least, because this is the only feature I personally need. But others? They may be more inclined to use DeepL.
That's where this comes in! DevilBro's plugin allows you to put in your own API keys from several different translators, and set them as your primary or secondary option for translating. (It also might be a good idea to add the options from the top there, but y'know, I really wouldn't want to make you do more work than I'm already asking for.)
It would also be nice to have the message translated in-line with the existing message, completely replacing what the original message was.
Thank you for your time. It would be extremely helpful if these features were added, and if not all of them, at the very least the automatic switching. I often have many simultaneous conversations running at the same time, and on Vencord I often end up speaking in Russian to several people I definitely didn't mean to speak russian to.
Apologies for the messy post. As I'm not familiar with how to format images on Github, everything is in the same line.
