VRHandsFrame – Installation of the translation server (GAS)

日本語ページ

Deployment of personal translation servers

VRHandsFrame’s translation functionality is by default based on a single translation server that is shared by all users.
Since the translation server uses a service called Google App Script (GAS), the number of translations is limited (5000 times/day). In other words, in the default state, 5000 times/day of translation resources are shared by all users.

This page explains how to use GAS to deploy a personal translation server in VRHandsFrame.
By using your own personal translation server, each user can use the full 5000 times/day translation resource.

*These are the installation procedures as of May 2023; changes in Google’s specifications or updates to VRHandsFrame may result in changes to the procedures.
