bot = Cinch::Bot.new do
  configure do |c|
    c.server           = "irc.freenode.net"
    c.nick             = "cinch"
    c.channels         = ["#padrino"]
    c.plugins.plugins  = [Cinch::Plugins::Memo::Base]
    c.plugins.options[Cinch::Plugins::Translate][:api_key] = 'your_api_key"
    c.plugins.options[Cinch::Plugins::Translate][:to]      = 'fr'
    c.plugins.options[Cinch::Plugins::Translate][:from]    = 'en'
    c.plugins.options[Cinch::Plugins::Translate][:auto]    = true
  end

end

bot.start

Finally, run your bot.

ruby -rubygems mybot.rb

And there you go!

This Plugin assumes you are using the default command prefix of '!'. This is to prevent the auto translator from picking up your commands.

• Maybe add bot as middleman in conversation
• Come up with more cool ideas.
