Auto Translate Stream Deck Plugin
REAL-TIME TRANSLATION DIRECTLY FROM YOUR STREAM DECK
Translate selected text instantly with a single Stream Deck key press. Auto Translate copies the currently selected text, translates it into your configured target language using your preferred translation provider, and automatically pastes the translated result back into the same place.
Want to see the translation before using it? The optional Smart Window displays the translated text instantly in a dedicated floating window — perfect for reading, reviewing, or comparing translations without interrupting your workflow.
Choose from multiple translation providers, including DeepL, Microsoft Translator, Google Gemini, Google Cloud Translation, and additional supported services.
Fast, seamless, and designed to keep your workflow uninterrupted.
Translation Providers & API Keys
-
DeepL ᴬᴾᴵ
Uses the official DeepL API for high-quality machine translation. DeepL is the recommended and preferred provider, as it is very easy to activate and obtaining a personal API key requires only a few steps. At the time this documentation was created, DeepL also offers a free API plan for developers, making it an excellent option for getting started without additional costs. Usage limits and possible charges depend on the selected DeepL API plan.
-
Google Cloud ᴬᴾᴵ
Uses the official Google Cloud Translation API for reliable machine translation. A personal Google Cloud API key is required. Usage limits and possible costs depend on your Google Cloud account and configuration.
-
Google Gemini ᴬᴾᴵ
Uses Google Gemini for fast, context-aware translations. By default,
gemini-3.5-flash-litewithminimal thinkingis used for low-latency translation. A personal Gemini API key is required. Usage limits and possible costs depend on your Google AI account and selected model. -
Azure Translator ᴬᴾᴵ
Uses Microsoft Azure Translator for fast and reliable neural machine translation. A personal Azure Translator API key is required. For regional Azure resources, enter the key together with the resource region using the format
APIKEY|REGION, for example YOUR_API_KEY|germanywestcentral. Global Translator resources can use the API key without a region. Microsoft currently offers a free F0 plan with up to 2 million characters per month for standard translations. View Azure Translator pricing and free tier details. Usage limits and possible costs depend on your Azure subscription and pricing tier. - Google Web ᴮᴱᵀᴬ
Translate uses an unofficial workaround instead of the official Google Translate API. No API key is required, but availability cannot be guaranteed. Google may change, restrict or disable this method at any time, which can cause translations to stop working temporarily or permanently. If Google temporarily blocks the request, an error such as “Too Many Requests” (HTTP 429) may appear. For more reliable translations, we recommend using our “Auto Translate Engine” Plugin with your own official Google Translate API key.
