Simple Popup Text Translator
IMPORTANT - After days of suffering I have retired this repo. Enjoy this buggy mess.
Overview
This program translates text that you copy into your clipboard, into the English language. When text is translated, it is displayed via a simplistic and modern GUI. The colour scheme of the GUI is based on the Discord colour scheme and uses Discord Black (#23272A) for the background and Discord White (#FFFFFF) for the text.
The translation is performed by the Google Translate API translate_a endpoint.
Installation
The program's executable will be available shortly. Instead, to run it in a Python interpreter, download the files or clone the repository using:
${GIT REPO}
Make sure the required packages are installed by running:
pip install -r requirements.txt
The main translation program is in main-trans.py, but I am trying to integrate it into a system tray program in launcher-trans.py.
Extra Info
The translated text
I have not yet added functionality for language translation other than to English. To add your own language, enter the main.py file and in the Google Translate params, replace the target language (tl) with your preferred language in ISO shortform.
The console
The console may print random samples during the runtime of the code. This is (in order):
- The translated text
- 54
- The number of lines
This is a byproduct of my debugging, which I will fix in the next iteration of my program.
To-do list
- Fix the tray icon
- Add a language selection tool
- Properly compile the program
- Fix the jankiness of the window
- Push window onto the middle every time
