gTranslate - a client for Google Translate
 

gTranslate is a simple client for Google Translate. It's very easy and fast to use and there's also flags for diffent languages. I'm the programmer of gTranslate.

Download: Available in Extras-devel! :D

Thanks to joppu for the screenshot

TODO:

• Flags for all languages
• Swap button for target and source languages
• Options like font size, etc.

Comments and suggestions please! :)

Re: gTranslate - a client for Google Translate
 

This app works exactly as I would wish it too. thanks!

The only suggestion I have is that when I go to either "source language" or "target language", that my most used languages come up first.

great app- i love the simplicity.

Re: gTranslate - a client for Google Translate
 

you should put it to extras devel so we can update as you update new version

Re: gTranslate - a client for Google Translate
 

why do i get apt-get cannot find gt... error? i even renamed it to one letter

Re: gTranslate - a client for Google Translate
 

Because it's not in the repos yet, you need to install it with dpkg. So, something like:
sudo gainroot
dpkg -i gtranslate_0.3-1_armel.deb

should work :)

Re: gTranslate - a client for Google Translate
 

silly me lol

Re: gTranslate - a client for Google Translate
 

Excellent - quick Q though - can you copy text from a translation? Makes for easier email replying etc :)

Re: gTranslate - a client for Google Translate
 

Any widget coming up?

Re: gTranslate - a client for Google Translate
 

dependencies?

Re: gTranslate - a client for Google Translate
 

It works good :) But if u are not connected to the internet, it will close itself :)

Re: gTranslate - a client for Google Translate
 

To piggy back off this question is there a limit to how much text can be entered, since this would be a great app to help do things like translate email, and other things.


I really like this ( haven't actually used it yet since my N900 is due here monday), non the less it is a very nice application.

I also think a widget would make this even easier to use



Great job:) thanks for your work, this will really be beneficial to a lot of ppl

Re: gTranslate - a client for Google Translate
 

It works really well.. thank you

Re: gTranslate - a client for Google Translate
 

would love to see this in extras? - why are people making applications that the general population wouldn't know how to install :( :(
(edit - and i no i don't want to start installing debs on my own lol)

Please get it into extras :) - would love to test it officially :)

Re: gTranslate - a client for Google Translate
 

Because the application is clearly not complete yet. Think this as a preview, it will need to be checked for any possible bugs or other problems before it can be release in the public.

Re: gTranslate - a client for Google Translate
 

isn't that what extras dev and extras testing are for? :)

Re: gTranslate - a client for Google Translate
 

Please add vietnamese language to gtranslate ^^

Re: gTranslate - a client for Google Translate
 

Any chance for
2007He, 2008He, 2008
N800, N810 ports ?

incompatibility issues

Re: gTranslate - a client for Google Translate
 

How to remove this application?

Re: gTranslate - a client for Google Translate
 

In X-terminal gain root then :
dpkg --purge gtranslate

Re: gTranslate - a client for Google Translate
 

i've found some problems with the app - sometimes it doesn't translate just copies the word in source language
tried english->polish: lemon showing lemon

also a future development suggestion - i assume it connects to google webpage - include additional dictionary info available there as a second page maybe

translating whole documents with dialog box..

Re: gTranslate - a client for Google Translate
 

New version with bugfixes is now available in Extras-devel!

Re: gTranslate - a client for Google Translate
 

I've updated to version from Extras-devel. When there's no internet connection, gTranslate closes when I touch "Translate" button. And as someone already said, it'd be nice if gTranslate could keep last chosen languages as default.

Re: gTranslate - a client for Google Translate
 

Ok, I'm going to add a copy button. In this version you can use Ctrl+A and Ctrl+C. :)

Thanks! I'm not sure if I'm going to add that feature. But I'm going to add the feature to remember the last used languages.

If someone is interested to port and test gTranslate for those versions I can provide the source code. Personally I haven't got any devices with those versions of Maemo. :(

Ok, it's added in the new version ;)

I'm going fix that but what's the point of using this program without internet connection?

Re: gTranslate - a client for Google Translate
 

My internet connection is set to "Always ask", so for example, when I click "Update" in the app manager, I get list of available connections. I think such behaviour would be good for gTranslate when I press "translate".
Anyway, thanks for this simple but useful program. :)

Re: gTranslate - a client for Google Translate
 

Can you add a button to quicly swap languages?It's already on the web page of Google translator and it's very handy IMO.
Thank you for your consideration and congratulations for your work:)

PS sorry for my bad english

Re: gTranslate - a client for Google Translate
 

Please post the code somewhere (garage project, forum attachment, or other means) and I'm sure someone interested will do it.

I may try to port it if I can find the time. I haven't even gotten around to trying the N900 version yet! :eek:

Re: gTranslate - a client for Google Translate
 

hi anyone i wanna have this installed on my n900, is it already for the n900 yet? and if it is, can anyone tell me where to download and how to install it please........ many thanks. btw, wish everyone will have a good 2010, happy new year nokians!!!!!!

Re: gTranslate - a client for Google Translate
 

I would also find this feature extremely useful.

Re: gTranslate - a client for Google Translate
 

Simple -- queue up the desired translations for later when connectivity is present. That way I can be reading a book in French in FBReader, pop a phrase into gTranslate that I am unsure of, and then see the result 20 minutes later when I am back to a place where I have signal.

This is clearly not as nice as an immediate translation, but still VERY useful.

Re: gTranslate - a client for Google Translate
 

Odd, I was expecting this to be a failure of Google translate, but when I tested in using the normal Google translate page, "lemon" was translated...

Re: gTranslate - a client for Google Translate
 

I really like the App! I would like to have an option to set default language setting so I don't have to navigate through the languages when I normally only use English > German for example.

Re: gTranslate - a client for Google Translate
 

I like this application! But can it be extended with a very little feature? I want this application to remember the values of source and target languages I have made.

Now I need to select "Finnish" as "source" language and "English" as "target" language every time I launch the application. This is really time-consuming...

And the default settings are really funny. Source language is Dutch and target language is Filipino :)

Re: gTranslate - a client for Google Translate
 

good job, please, make the application remember the last language selected in source and target.... thanks!

Re: gTranslate - a client for Google Translate
 

I tried to download the application but it is given a file corrupted message, can you help please ?

Re: gTranslate - a client for Google Translate
 

in version 0.4 it seems to be fixed
now waiting for all the suggestions to be implemented :rolleyes:
big thanx 4 the app!

edit: downloaded version 0.4.2 and got the same issue when translating from english to polish (lemon :) )
no problem when i swap languages - yes you can in this version
tried different languages working fine
only english to polish shows the same word :/

Re: gTranslate - a client for Google Translate
 

It would also be very useful if there was an easy way to swap source and target language.

I often find myself needing to translate both ways and it is pretty tedious having to always change source and target language back and forth with the current method.

But great work so far ;-)

EDIT: Just saw that this has already been requested earlier in the thread. Sorry for repeating this ;-)

Re: gTranslate - a client for Google Translate
 

I've made a video about gTranslate:

Re: gTranslate - a client for Google Translate
 

Another vote to have it remember the languages selected. Im an english speaker living in spain, it would be great if it was set to spanish to english every time I opened it.

Selecting from the 100s of languages on there is a pain and stops me using it for a quick menu lookup etc.

Might seem like a small issue, but in terms of usability it is massive. Thanks!

Re: gTranslate - a client for Google Translate
 

Looks like a great application!

I also would love to see a version for my n800.

In the meantime on my n800 I use the browser interface (which remembers my language selections): http://translate.google.com

On my laptop when in firefox I use the excellent BabelFish Instant Translation extension (it uses the same google translation service + google dictionary + yahoo + remembers language pairs + one can select one's own subset of languages)

cheers

Re: gTranslate - a client for Google Translate
 

whatmim looking for is dictionary.. but this gtranslater do the trick.. usually i m learning finnish so. i use eng to fin..
what i need it to improve is..

1. default language.. whenever i use the program i want it to pop up my default language.. so i dont have to search all da time.. we aint moving countries everyday anyway
2. if there is a whole language data package we can install on the machine.. rather than looking from da net all the time..it darins da battery.. fyi i dunt usually translate long setences.. just some short words.
