google can translate between a lot of languages, it would be nice if a plugin could be made so you can indicate what language you want to translate to and from..

like:

gt en fr hello there my friend!

would do google translate from english to french the phrase "hello there my friend!"

Screenshot from czechboy's plugin:

hahahahaha it works!!!!

wonderful.

this is a really great one.

it might be nice to be able to skip having to put the "" around the text.

this translate plugin really deserves its own thread so im going to split it off into a separate thread if you don't mind.

looks really nice but does not work on my computer...

it works sometimes... very rarely... strange

cool looking script. i have a tool like this that pulls the translation from google. but just like nitrix-ud the plugin is not working, do i have to press enter or something? currently it doesn't translate anything..

well.. I must say that there may be (and I think there are) many bugs... so I will take a look into the code once more and see what is wrong there... And if you know just a little of javascript you are welcome to help me with it

EDIT: nitrix-ud: I am not seasoned coder but let as see. If you try to translate "friend" from english french on this site ( http://translate.google.com/translate_t ) do you see there the result? if so, could you please copy and paste here source code of the page with result? so that I can check the regex...

EDIT: I have found that English->German does not work for me even on translate.google.com (it writes the same in english as result).. strange

EDIT: I post a new version. Now you can type something like

Quote

gt en fr hello there my friend!

After space is pressed it searches for the result. So check it and tell me if it works or not

Lanux: There's no portuguese equivalent for the english term "muito obrigado", it's the other way around

nitrix-ud · « **Reply #7 on:** February 03, 2008, 03:01 PM »

Now THAT is a touch of class

Armando · « **Reply #11 on:** February 04, 2008, 06:22 PM »

hummmm... doesn't work either here (like nitrix-ud)

czb · « **Reply #12 on:** February 04, 2008, 09:04 PM »

Armando: and what exactly does it tell you? If you have my last version, does it say: error: Connection failed... or error: No translation found...? BTW: Are you able to debug javascript?

Try this version and copy paste what it tells you

Armando · « **Reply #13 on:** February 04, 2008, 10:54 PM »

Hi czechboy,
Thanks for your answer. Like I said, it did exactly the same think as Reply #3 by nitrix-ud : error: No translation found (whatever the words).

But now I replaced the plugin with the new proposed version, and now nothing appears at all when I press "space" at the end of the expression.

I forgot to answer that one... unfortunately, no.

czb · « **Reply #15 on:** February 05, 2008, 07:44 AM »

I see.. fine. that is unicode description of the sentence. Ok.. Probably there is problem in RTF file or probably I have writen the RTF unicode wrong. Is here anybody who knows RTF1 very well so that he/she can help me in writing unicode the right way? Anyway what I would suggest is to make new RTF files in a program you use most (MS OFFICE etc), copy and paste the text from both RTF files in plugin folder and save and override the former RTF files. Probably it will help since those files are created in StarOffice on Czech locals... But it is only guess...
But I am glad to see that it went fine through all the way till the unicode

one more thing to mouser: How do you display RTF in FARR? Is it dependant on the system or not? I mean, if it can happen that people have different version of RTF and display text differently or not...

czb · « **Reply #16 on:** February 05, 2008, 11:48 AM »

OK. So I have modified RTF files and also all RTF printing so it works on my PC just fine... So lets say this is something like final version

Hopefully everything works just fine. So please let me know if it does not work and what exactly does not work

works wonderfully here!

one minor suggestion: the search on space is really nice. i think you should add also to search on end of sentence punctuation (period, exclamation point, questionmark, quotationmark) [.!?"]

Armando · « **Reply #18 on:** February 06, 2008, 04:44 AM »

It still doesn't work for me. Am I having unusual unicode problems of some sort??? I'm starting to wonder what's wrong with my farr installation (I'm also having perpetual and unresolved problems with the farr alt tab plugin which I have permanently disabled).

lanux128 · « **Reply #19 on:** February 06, 2008, 04:54 AM »

Armando, try going to the Plugins panel in the Options and look into "Advanced Settings". maybe there will be a clue.

Armando · « **Reply #20 on:** February 06, 2008, 05:04 AM »

What's the role of fscript.dll? There seems to be a problem with "it" or something in relation to it.

The "configure advanced plugin options" of the google translate plugin pops up that window :

lanux128 · « **Reply #21 on:** February 06, 2008, 05:16 AM »

i think then there must be something wrong with fscript.dll which is the underlying engine for the JS-based plugins such as Farr-AltTab, Delicious & etc. maybe the respective authors can shed more light?

Hum, the dialog shouldn't show at all since there is no options to configure. I will remove that as soon as possible.

czb · « **Reply #23 on:** February 06, 2008, 03:16 PM »

ecaradec: I would like to suggest something. Is it possible to make javascript SDK plugin such way that all javascript plugins would be saved in folder like Fscript/jsplugins/myplugin and there would be only one fscript.dll for all javascript plugins. So that you would be able to update fscript yourself without us. Now I have to update all fscript.dll for my plugins manualy...

good idea!

i had been thinking along the same way since that means all the JS plugins would be streamlined making it easier pinpoint if any error occurs.
