The settings page allows to define a few operation parameters.

Primarily which service to use:

❎ Google Translate is the default

❏ DeepL web interface (kinda works, but only allows a few short paragraphs to be translated / then blocks further requests / "http error 429")

❏ DeepL per API (as of yet untested)

❏ Microsoft Translator (requires an authorization key, and a pip install translate system package)

❏ MyMemory (should have an email address in the "API key" field, also requires pip install translate)

❏ Command line tool allows to send each text paragraph to a local application. To use it, set the command in the "API key" field again. For example:

Where {text} is a placeholder for the current text section. (Automatically escaped.)

Additional options:

❏ quick linebreak handling might speed up table processing with Google Translate, as it avoids sending each newline-split sentence separately.

❏ super slsow mode iterates over paragraph segments, to keep more inline formatting - but seriously harms mid-sentence translations. Not very useful in practice.

❏ also iterate over TextFrames handles floating textframes / subdocuments.

❎ debug mode will fill up the /tmp/pagetranslate-libreoffice.txt file quicker
