Configuration

You can customize the translation behavior by modifying the extension settings in your VS Code settings:

• badtranslator.startLanguage: The starting language code. Use 'auto' for automatic detection. This uses ISO-639-1 formatting. Get the full list here
• badtranslator.endLanguage: The target language code. This uses ISO-639-1 formatting. Get the full list here
• badtranslator.translationCount: The number of times to translate the text. I would reccomend around 100, but do not go above 1000.
