   • Basic settings -> Translate service -> Custom API
   • Set API URL to your API address, default is http://127.0.0.1/translate.

Notes

• You can adjust the safety_settings and generation_config parameters according to your requirements, default is none.
• Make sure you can access the Google API, otherwise you may need to use a proxy.
• The API is limited to 60 times per minute, you can apply for a higher limit here, or set the maximum number of requests per second to 1 in the immersive translation custom options.
• Prompt injection may exist in the translation result.
• Gemini API is not allow to talk about OpenAI😑
• Recommended to use the maximum number of requests per second in the custom options: 1, the maximum number of paragraphs per request: 20, to avoid exceeding the limit.
