TranslateBehavior Class

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

Namespace: DevExpress.AIIntegration.WinForms

Assembly: DevExpress.AIIntegration.WinForms.v24.2.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.AIIntegration.WinForms

#Declaration

public sealed class TranslateBehavior :
    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:

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")
                };
            });
    }
}

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.

C#
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());
    }
}
