If you’re using Windows, you need to install the plugin by downloading the installer from their website.

在Pidgin中渲染数学公式 (Rendering Math Formula in Pidgin)
If you are familiar with LaTex, you can use Pidgin to exchange math formula with your buddies by installing the Pidgintex plugin. Simply write ‘$$latex expression$$’ anywhere in a message and an image of the mathematical formula will appear in the message log.
如果您熟悉LaTex，则可以通过安装Pidgintex插件来使用Pidgin与您的好友交换数学公式。 只需在消息中的任意位置写上“ $ latelatex expression $$” ，数学公式的图像就会出现在消息日志中。
Pidgin also requires Mimetex to render the mathematical formula. Just download the mimetex installer from Pidgintex website, and put it under your ‘C:\Windows’ folder.
Pidgin还要求Mimetex渲染数学公式。 只需从Pidgintex网站下载mimetex安装程序，然后将其放在“ C：\ Windows”文件夹下即可。
Remember to put the mimetex.exe in your System Variable path. If you are not familiar with Windows’ System Variable, you can read our tutorial on sysadmin geek about modifying System Variable.
请记住将mimetex.exe放在系统变量路径中。 如果您不熟悉Windows的系统变量，则可以阅读有关修改系统变量的sysadmin geek教程。
Pidgin stores your conversation logs just in case you need to review what your buddies told you.
Pidgin会存储您的对话日志，以防您需要查看好友告诉您的内容。
Enter your buddy name in the ‘Name’ field to view your chat log with him or her.
在“名称”字段中输入您的好友名称，以查看与他或她的聊天记录。
Pidgin will show you all the conversations that you have had with your buddy. Unfortunately, Pidgin only renders the math formula as a LaTex expression in the log.
Pidgin将向您显示您与好友之间的所有对话。 不幸的是，Pidgin仅在日志中将数学公式呈现为LaTex表达式。
加密对话 (Encrypting Your Conversations)
You can even encrypt your conversations to secure your conversation with your buddies.
您甚至可以加密对话，以保护与好友的对话。
Pidgin has a number of encryption tools available, but we use ‘Off-the-Record Messaging (OTR)’ Plugin the most. After you installed the plugin, you need to enable it from the Plugin screen.
Pidgin有许多可用的加密工具，但是我们最多使用“记录外消息(OTR)”插件。 安装插件后，需要从“插件”屏幕启用它。
You will see the OTR button in your chat screen to initiate a secure chat channel.
您将在聊天屏幕中看到OTR按钮，以启动安全的聊天频道。
OTR uses a public-private key encryption to encrypt your conversation. You will need to generate a private key by clicking the ‘Generate’ button from the OTR screen before you can use OTR to encrypt your conversations.
OTR使用公私钥加密来加密您的对话。 您需要先通过单击OTR屏幕上的“生成”按钮来生成私钥，然后才能使用OTR加密对话。
The OTR Plugin creates four privacy levels, and we can enable a private chat by clicking the OTR button.
OTR插件创建了四个隐私级别，我们可以通过单击OTR按钮来启用私人聊天。
Your private conversation will start in an ‘unverified’ mode until you authenticate your buddies.
您的私人对话将以“未经验证”的模式开始，直到您对好友进行身份验证为止。
You can authenticate your buddy by selecting ‘Authenticate Buddy’ from the OTR Menu.
您可以通过从OTR菜单中选择“验证好友”来验证您的好友。
There are 3 options to authenticate a buddy : by a question and answer, a shared secret, or by verifying your buddy OTR fingerprint.
有3种验证好友的选项：通过问答，共享秘密或通过验证您的好友OTR指纹。
To authenticate using a question, pick a question whose answer is known only to you and your buddy. Enter the question and the correct answer.
要使用问题进行身份验证，请选择一个答案，该答案只有您和您的好友知道。 输入问题和正确答案。
Wait for your buddy to enter the answer too. If the answers don’t match, then either your buddy made a mistake typing in the answer, or you may be talking to an impostor.
等待您的好友也输入答案。 如果答案不匹配，则可能是您的好友在输入答案时输入错误，或者您正在与冒名顶替者聊天。
If your buddy answers the question correctly, then the OTR status of your conversation will change to ‘Private’.
如果您的好友正确回答了问题，那么您对话的OTR状态将变为“私人”。
The next method of authentication is by setting up a shared secret key between you and your buddy.
身份验证的下一种方法是在您和您的好友之间设置共享**。
Enter the shared secret into the field provided in the Authenticate Buddy dialog box. Once you enter the secret and hit OK, your buddy will be asked to do exactly the same thing. If you both enter the same text, then OTR will accept that you are really talking to your buddy. Otherwise, OTR reports that authentication has failed. This either means that your buddy made a mistake typing in the text, or it may mean that someone is intercepting your communication.
在“身份验证好友”对话框中提供的字段中输入共享**。 输入密码并单击确定后，将要求您的好友做完全相同的事情。 如果您都输入相同的文本，则OTR会接受您确实在与好友交谈。 否则，OTR报告认证失败。 这意味着您的好友在输入文本时输入错误，或者可能意味着某人正在拦截您的通讯。
The last method of authentication is by manually matching yours and your buddy OTR fingerprint.
身份验证的最后一种方法是手动匹配您和您的好友OTR指纹。
You and your buddy will need another secure channel, for example speaking through the phone, to exchange the OTR fingerprints.
您和您的好友将需要另一个安全通道，例如通过电话讲话，以交换OTR指纹。
If the fingerprint matches with the fingerprint that your buddy told you, choose the ‘I have’ option from the drop down list, and then click the ‘Authenticate’ button. Once you do this, the OTR status will change to ‘Private’. Note that you only need to do this once per buddy (or once per fingerprint, if your buddy has more than one fingerprint). OTR will remember which fingerprints you have marked as verified.
如果指纹与您的好友告诉您的指纹匹配，请从下拉列表中选择“我有”选项，然后单击“验证”按钮。 完成此操作后，OTR状态将更改为“私人”。 请注意，每个伙伴只需要执行一次此操作(如果您的伙伴具有多个指纹，则每个指纹只需执行一次)。 OTR会记住您标记为已验证的指纹。
