Bonjour,
Just for info:

A handy script for translations... using yad.

Cheers.

I have been using Xdialog --timeout --interval, would have been surprised if yad could not do the same--although it required some reading between the lines.

Code: Select all

suspend; z=$(timeout -s SIGUSR1 5 yad --text "enter password" --entry --no-buttons) ; if correct then resume else log out

z=$(timeout -s SIGUSR1 5 yad --text "Shut down and save, or..." --form --field "No save":CHK --field "Reboot":CHK) ; case $z in...

yad has an option:

Code: Select all

yad --text "Shut down and save, or..." --form --field "No save":CHK --field "Reboot":CHK --timeout=5  --timeout-indicator=bottom

That doesn't give any output for me without clicking OK (which is where this is all about)

@All , note that the "timeout" command can probably be a symlink to busybox on Puppy and there's difference between busybox versions, see radky's and mochimoppels's comments here:

Well patch it.
in src/main.c find timeout_cb function
and add the call to function yad_print_result () before yad_exit ()

This is an example with 0.41 with added yad_print_result function

Code: Select all

static gboolean
timeout_cb (gpointer data)
{
  static guint count = 1;
  GtkWidget *w = (GtkWidget *) data;

  if (options.data.timeout < count)
    {
      yad_print_result ();
      yad_exit (YAD_RESPONSE_TIMEOUT);
      return FALSE;
    }

  if (w)
    {
      gdouble percent = ((gdouble) options.data.timeout - count) / (gdouble) options.data.timeout;
      gtk_progress_bar_set_fraction (GTK_PROGRESS_BAR (w), percent);
      if (g_settings_get_boolean (settings, "show-remain"))
        {
          gchar *lbl = g_strdup_printf (_("%d sec"), options.data.timeout - count);
          gtk_progress_bar_set_text (GTK_PROGRESS_BAR (w), lbl);
          g_free (lbl);
        }
    }

  count++;

  return TRUE;
}

Then compile, and try:

Code: Select all

 yad --text "Shut down and save, or..." --form --field "No save":CHK --field "Reboot":CHK --timeout=5 --timeout-indicator=bottom

It would be nice to make an icon in the systray. to have the translator at hand.

Make it, it's a very good idea!

vovchik · #648 Post by **vovchik** » Sat 17 Aug 2019, 21:43

Dear all,

Here is trans-paste and trans-tray. Put them both into some executable dir. Start trans-tray. Left click and you get a trans-paste box that will do the translation if the clipboard has a non-English text. I also supplied an icon and desktop file that you can edit for the icon location.

With kind regards,
vovchik

PS. All of this is very quick and dirty...

How nice !! Thanks Argolance and vovchik !!!

Bonjour,

PS. All of this is very quick and dirty...

I'm afraid of what some people might think of my own scripts.

You were very quick indeed!
Icons aside (which are not really adapted) everything is perfect.
Now, a right-click menu would be useful for some settings as well as internationalization by the same token?

I wonder if josejp2424 wouldn't currently be working on scripts of the same kind?

Thank you vovchik for this.

Cordialement.

Here's a (not so quick, but very dirty

) script, modified vovchik's script with addition of simple right-click menu with option to set the target language to translate to (provides list with languages to choose from)
A lot more can be done of course with all the options from "translate-shell", this is just a simple setup for testing, but maybe can be a start for a much more advanced program, who knows !

Attached trans_tray (merged together trans-tray and trans-paste from vovchik's concept) remove fake .gz and make executable.

it is excellent fredx181 and vovchik

Dear josejp2424,

Well done. Thanks. I think one thing we might want eventually to include in the right-click menu is the selection of translation engine (google, bing, yandex and deepl). Some engines are better at certain languages and worse at others, and deepl, for example, cannot handle very many. It's just a thought... In any case,trans_tray works nicely as it is.

With kind regards,
vovchik

fredx181 and vovchik

I included gettext to trans_tray.
Change the icon and color. Do not modify the lines of the icon.

icon to differentiate who is a translator

gettext in GUI

Nice josejp !
In the meantime I worked on a version with choice of different engines in the menu, see attached. (but not gettext added, sorry)
The engine choices are Google, Bing and Yandex, but Yandex doesn't always work well, half of the time I get message:

Code: Select all

[ERROR] Oops! Something went wrong and I can't translate it for you :(

I use the newest trans, see here:
https://github.com/soimort/translate-shell#installation
I think with older version the Bing translator doesn't work.

Dear Fredx181 and josejp2424,

This little thing is getting better by the day.

Thanks. I have been using the latest trans in my testing (v. 0.9.6.11-release) and suggest that everybody use a recent version.

With kind regards,
vovchik

fredx181 · #657 Post by **fredx181** » Mon 19 Aug 2019, 19:45

And thanks again to you, vovchik ! for your great start concept.
For me it's ok for the most as it is, except maybe some help text could be added, do you perhaps have any more ideas for changes or improvement ?

the EXIT button should be removed .
because it eliminates the sistray program

Not sure if I understand, if you don't want to eliminate the sistray program, then just don't click on EXIT, or are you perhaps saying that for you it eliminates without clicking on EXIT, (accidentally ?)

If the exit button is pressed by mistake, the program closes.
and is no longer available in the systray bar.
That is why it should be removed.
