TranslateBehavior Class

SECURITY-RELATED CONSIDERATIONS

This API includes automatic prompt-injection protection for text and document-based AI-powered extensions. The system appends security instructions to each AI request to ensure that external or user-provided content is treated as untrusted data.

Prompt Injection Protection in AI Extensions

Converts the text from one language to another while maintaining the original meaning and context.

Namespace: DevExpress.AIIntegration.WinForms

Assembly: DevExpress.AIIntegration.WinForms.v26.1.dll

Declaration

C#

public sealed class TranslateBehavior :
    ChangeTextBehaviorBase

VB.NET

Public NotInheritable Class TranslateBehavior
    Inherits ChangeTextBehaviorBase

Remarks

Use the Languages parameter to specify target languages for text translation.

The following code snippet registers a TranslateBehavior and assigns it to a MemoEdit control:

C#

using DevExpress.AIIntegration;
using DevExpress.AIIntegration.WinForms;
using DevExpress.AIIntegration.Desktop;

//...
public partial class MemoEdit : DevExpress.XtraEditors.XtraForm {
    public MemoEdit() {
        InitializeComponent();
            behaviorManager1.Attach<TranslateBehavior>(memoEdit1, behavior => {
                behavior.Properties.Languages = new LanguageInfo[] {
                    new LanguageInfo("de-DE"),
                    new LanguageInfo("es-ES")
                };
            });
    }
}

VB.NET

Imports DevExpress.AIIntegration
Imports DevExpress.AIIntegration.WinForms
Imports DevExpress.AIIntegration.Desktop

'...
Partial Public Class MemoEdit
    Inherits DevExpress.XtraEditors.XtraForm

    Public Sub New()
        InitializeComponent()
            behaviorManager1.Attach(Of TranslateBehavior)(memoEdit1, Sub(behavior)
                behavior.Properties.Languages = New LanguageInfo() {
                    New LanguageInfo("de-DE"),
                    New LanguageInfo("es-ES")
                }
            End Sub)
    End Sub
End Class

Note

Call the BehaviorInitializer.Initialize() method at application startup if your project targets the .NET Framework and you create AI-powered behaviors in code. Otherwise, an exception is thrown.

internal static class Program {
    [STAThread]
    static void Main() {
        //...
        // The Initialize() method forcibly initializes the behavior manager in .NET Framework apps.
        DevExpress.AIIntegration.WinForms.BehaviorInitializer.Initialize();
        Application.Run(new Form1());
    }
}
