Other os

...

Usage

translation.exe

Feature

• Not limited to the browser(in theory, it can be used in any application that can be copied with ctrl + c)
• Plug-in translation interface, can load custom translation plugins(two translation plugins have been built in, baidu and youdao)
• Hot reload plugin system, easy to debug

How to achieve

1. Listen mouse events(current project listens to three events, left click and drag, double click with left button, press shitf key and click left button);
2. Backup clipboard content;
3. Copy selected text to clipboard;
4. Take the clipboard text;
5. Restore clipboard;
6. Call API to translate text;
7. Show results.

Note

The plugin used by the project is the compiled pyd file, which will have a faster loading speed, of course, you can also use the py file directly. I recommend you to use pyd file, similarly, it is also very simple to compile it, you only need to run the following command in the console:

python -m nuitka --mingw64 --module --output-dir source_script plugins\your_plugin.py
