Since this is a new operation, other translation-related parts (ai_translate, translate plugin of ai_ckeditor) use "Chat" operation, which exists for a long time.</p> <p>As a result, there are at least 3 places to configure translation-related parameters:</p> <ol> <li>Translate text provider in AI settings (no bundled provider supports the new operation at the moment)</li> <li>AI translate settings (twig-based prompt that can be altered by third parties)</li> <li>Hard-coded translation prompt in CKEditor translate plugin</li> </ol> <p>This may confuse both users and developers.</p> <h3 id="summary-proposed-resolution">Proposed resolution</h3> <p>Have a single "point of responsibility" for translation purposes. This point should</p> <ol> <li>Have "text to translate" as a single required input</li> <li>Have a set of translation contexts (from and to languages in the form of ISO code or free name, provider id, contexts provided/altered by third parties) as an optional parameter</li> <li>Have "translated text" as output</li> </ol> <p>Location of this point of responsibility is TBD</p> <h3 id="summary-remaining-tasks">Remaining tasks</h3> <p>Decide what "translation point of responsibility" is. A service? A trait that can be then used by AI providers? AiProviderClientBase methods?</p> <p>If it's a service, then what module this service belongs to (ai or ai_translate)? In case it's ai_translate, module description in ai_translate.info.yml should be changed from "one click translation" to "translation-related functionality"</p> > Related issue: [Issue #3481001](https://www.drupal.org/node/3481001)
