How do the translation bangs work?

[ranidspace]

Basically nothing I tried works at all for them they're the first things that show up in the "Engines" settings menu and I cannot figure it out at all. I saw the "currency" option there and I have no idea how that one works either but the translation one I want to use the most.

Same question here...
I wanted to check the syntax in the docs (https://docs.searxng.org/user/search-syntax.html) but it seems like they aren't added there yet...

So currently all i get if i use "!dc" or "!translate" with a word is:
`Sorry!

No results were found. You can try to:

Refresh the page.
Search for another query or select another category (above).
Change the search engine used in the preferences: /preferences
Switch to another instance: https://searx.space/`

Apparently we are still missing a documentation for the Online Dictionaries

Online Dictionaries need a <from>-<to> in the search query:

searxng/searx/search/processors/online_dictionary.py

Line 11 in 837f3bc

parser_re = re.compile('.*?([a-z]+)-([a-z]+) (.+)$', re.I)

By example: en-de The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog will use all online dictionaries activated by default.

Like in normal search queries you can select explicit an engine: !lv en-de The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog

To activate all online dictionaries in the group translate use !translate en-de hello
