Use AI to convert files to another language

This functionality relies on the AI Assistant plugin, which you need to install and enable.

1. Press CtrlAlt0S to open settings and then select Plugins.

2. Open the Marketplace tab, find the AI Assistant plugin, and click Install (restart the IDE if prompted).

1. Open a file you want to convert, place the caret anywhere in the editor, and right-click to open the context menu.

   Alternatively, press AltEnter.

2. Select AI Actions and then Convert File to Another Language.

3. In the list that opens, select the language you want to convert the current file to.

   

   After the conversion, the converted file is saved as a separate file with a new extension.

   

1. Press CtrlAlt0S to open settings and then select Tools | AI Assistant.

2. Enable the Suggest converting pasted code to the language of the target file option and click Apply.

   

Now you can copy the piece of code you want to convert and paste it into the file you work on.

AI Assistant detects the language of the pasted code and suggests to convert it to the language of the opened file.

If you click Convert, the code will be converted to the language of the target file. The code in original language will also be pasted, but commented out.
