Overview
With the Apertium plugin, you can quickly translate the selected text into other languages.
The plugin uses Apertium, a free open-source machine translation platform.
How to use
- Select the text you want to translate.
- Go to the Plugins tab and click on Apertium.
- You can insert text for translation manually, without changing anything in your doc. To do so, click Enter text manually on the left panel. Type new text in the field that appears or edit already selected text (this will only affect the translation, the original text will remain unchanged).
- Use the Copy button to copy the translation and the Insert to document button to replace the selected text with its translation.
How to install
Install the plugin via the built-in Plugin Manager right in the editors with one click.
For desktop editors
-
Archive the plugin files (it must contain config.json, index.html, and pluginCode.js).
-
Change the file extension to .plugin.
-
Go to the Plugins tab, click Settings >> Add plugin, browse for the .plugin file.
Configuration
By default, the plugin uses the Apertium demo service with limited language pairs.
To use Apertium without limitations, install it to your own server.
To send translation requests to your own server, change the url address of the serviceUrl variable in the ./scripts/apertium.js file.
