## Installation
1. Launch Obsidian.
2. Navigate to `Settings` > `Community Plugins`.
3. Search for `Memodack`.
4. Install and enable the plugin.
## Hotkeys
For quick translation and conversion into the plugins syntax, set up hotkeys for the `Memodack: Translate` command. For example, you can assign `Alt` + `T`. After that, select a word or several words and activate the shortcut.
## Syntax
The plugin uses its own syntax:
`{value|translation}`
If you want to provide multiple translations, separate them with a semicolon `;`:
`{value|translation; translation; translation}`
If you want to attach an image to a word, simply create a link to the image directly in the document, as shown in the [Example](https://github.com/memodack/memodack/blob/main/docs/example.md). This can be either a file stored in [Obsidian](https://obsidian.md/) itself or a link to an external resource.
The link name must be exactly the same as the word:
`[<value>](...)`
## Practice
To activate **Practice** mode, click the lightning icon in the left ribbon menu.
You can also select at least **4** words and then press the lightning icon to work exclusively with those words.
## Settings
Open the plugin settings.
### General
General settings are essential for translation and voiceover to function properly.
#### Provider
Providers supply translation and text-to-speech services.
##### Google
To use Google services, you need to register on **GCP** and enable the following APIs:
- [Cloud Translation API](https://console.cloud.google.com/marketplace/product/google/translate.googleapis.com)
- [Cloud Text-to-Speech API](https://console.cloud.google.com/marketplace/product/google/texttospeech.googleapis.com)
###### Api Key
After registering in GCP, create an API Key in the [Credentials](https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/credentials) section.
Paste it into the corresponding field in the plugin settings.
##### Custom
To connect your own **free** service, run [Translator](https://github.com/memodack/translator).
###### Api URL
Once [Translator](https://github.com/memodack/translator) is running, copy its address and paste it into the appropriate field in the plugin settings (if it is not already there).
