A directory translators/generated contains code of translators from stable libraries, that ready to use in Linguist and in browser at all.

Generated code may looks bloated, but this code have support.

• Alternative Google translator implementation. Try it if you are not satisfied with embedded google translator
• DeepL - translator for service deepl.com. You have to insert your personal API key on bottom of translator code
  • WARNING: with DeepL you pay for each character of translated text. If you will use DeepL translator with Linguist to translate pages, it can cost a fortune, because random wikipedia page contains 88267 characters, so you will pay 1.8 EUR (0.00002 * 88267) per ONE wikipedia page
