[libnotify] Highlight and Google Translate Any Text

Unread post by stark » Wed Dec 03, 2014 11:31 am

Source: Highlight and Google Translate Any Text in Linux - Lifehacker

1. Install 'dunst' or whatever notifier you prefer and make sure you have 'xsel' installed.

2. Get the Script :

Code: Select all

curl http://sprunge.us/aGMY > ~/bin/goot
3. Make it executable: 'chmod +x ~/bin/goot'

3. Bind it to a key combo.

4. Highlight any text and press your defined keybind.

Profit!

The script will auto-detect the language you are selecting (see sl=auto)

By default, the script translates in English, to change the translated output to a language of your choice modify 'tl=eng' in the script (example-'tl=it' for Italian).
