Simple C# CS2 chat translator (FORK)

CS2-Translator

Easy to use single file CS2 chat translation tool.

You probably know the feeling of not being able to communicate in a match because everyone speaks a different language. Well, gone are those days. With this tool you can read translations of all foreign language messages while staying in the game.

CS2-Translator will read the console output, detect chat messages, and then translate them with Google Translate.

All of this is accomplished using official CS2 launch options.

How to use

1. Download the latest Version (or build it yourself)
2. Set CS2 launch options: -condebug (how do I do this?)
3. start CS2 & CS2 Translator
4. (Optional) Change the options in CS2 Translator to your liking. (List of language codes)

Update

To update the translator just download the latest Version (or build it yourself) Make sure to delete the old one.

Current limitations

• The current method of using Google Translate is rate-limited at 100 requests / hour.
• Can't detect messages on certain community servers because of different chat structures.

cs2-translator's Issues

System.IO.IOException

System.IO.IOException: 'An attempt was made to move the file pointer before the beginning of the file.

(trying to read before the start of the file) StreamReader FileStream located in LogsController.cs

occurs when the translator is started before CS

in some locations the translation doesn't get send

in some locations on the map example nuke outside or office front courtyard the is no translation happening.
but only in team chat so i would assume its

                /* removal of the team-chat location info. */
                if (chatType == ChatType.Team)
                {
                    var idx = namePart.LastIndexOf('@');

                    if (idx != -1)
                    
                        namePart = namePart.Substring(0, idx).Trim();
                    
                }
