The error indicates a missing API key for the AI translation channel you are using (e.g., OpenAI, DeepSeek, Gemini). The traceback shows Missing credentials – no API key was provided.

Solution:

  1. Open the software and go to the top menu: Translate Settings (e.g., "ChatGPT" or "DeepSeek" or "Compatible AI/Local Model").
  2. In the corresponding settings panel, fill in your API key and Base URL (if needed).
  3. Save the settings and retry the translation task.

If you are unsure which channel you selected, check the main interface under "Translation channel" and confirm that the correct one is chosen, then verify its API key is configured in the menu.

Please refer to the relevant documentation:
