Description

Currently the auto translate functionality only utilizes Google Translate for the auto translating, however there are other services out there. Ideally we would make this pluggable somehow, possibly with the upcoming Rocket.Chat Apps, #6890.

Research direction

Start by locating the current Google Translate implementation in the Rocket.Chat codebase and review the proposed Rocket.Chat Apps direction in issue #6890. The related assistify issue #175 may provide additional context. Done means auto translation can support services beyond Google Translate through a defined pluggable approach.
