Hi everyone,
I am excited to share with you a goodie (completely free, except google API)
First of all, I would like to thank Jon Olds for writing a déjà vu plugin using autohotkey script. Inspired by GT4T, I altered the script so that the program works everywhere instead of in Deja Vu or MemoQ only.
Before using this script you need to have Autohotkey (free) installed on your computer and buy a Google Translate API key. copy and paste the codes at the end of this post to a txt editor like Notepad. then save it with teh extension, ahk.
when you run this script for the first time, you need to run it as an administrator. a popup will show prompting you to enter the language pair and google API. since the second time, run the script as a normal user. (to run the script, just right click the ahk file and the popup menu will show the option).
when you come across a sentence or a segment you would like to google translate. select it and press ctrl+j, the selected text will be replaced by translation from Google. Instead of sending the whole segment to Google, you can send any part of a sentence and let machine translation work on that part only.
Comparing with GT4T, it lacks other features like alternative suggestions and pre-translations using user defined glossary and I am still a fan of GT4T, specially its new pre-translation feature.
I am crazily busy this month and might not be able to respond to any inquiry quickly. However if you take some time and look into the code, you might dig out a bit more functions.
Good luck.
