/quick-translate

A very basic english/german translator based on tkinter.

Primary LanguagePython

A very basic english/german translator build on tkinter.

This was made because I sometimes need to very quickly look up certain words or translate them into english/german.

Because this is supposed to work quick for me you don't use your mouse at all, everything works through shortcuts.

Note: This is supposed to run constantly in the background so it's not recommended to close it by closing the window. Instead use the shortcuts listed below to minimize the window

(it's also not going to win any beauty contests but it significantly enhances my work flow)

Shortcuts

ctrl+shift+t - Brings up or minimizes the window (Note that while minimized the program is not visible in the taskbar)

Control-e - Switches Languages from english/german or german/english

Control-d - Brings up a separate window with the full definition of the translated word and closes it again

Control-s - Brings up a complete list of all the synonyms of the translated word and closes it again

Escape - Closes or minimizes the selected window
