Recommend a free translation software I am using that supports the integration of multiple translation APIs

Some time ago, I posted a video about "Spring supports PHP" : click to view

Then a friend left a message and said, "Your translation seems to be very useful."

Indeed, I myself find it useful. I don't know which video I haven't seen before, but you can easily understand it through screenshots:

The basic operation is to select the sentence to be translated, directly press a shortcut key, and it will come out, and can generate the results of multiple different translation APIs at the same time.

Well, without further ado, let's introduce this translation software in detail!

Bob

The translation software I'm using is an open source software called Bob .

Although the icon is a bit ugly + non-mainstream, it is really useful. But it is a pity that it mainly supports MacOS users at present.

The function basically covers the general requirements:

• Crossword translation (I use it most often)
• screenshot translation
• input translation
• More translations
• custom plugin
• Automatic language recognition
• Hump split, snake split
• AppleScript call
• PopClip call

Install

Homebrew installation

Users who have already installed Homebrew can install it directly with the following command

 brew install --cask bob

Manual installation

1. Download the installation package from the link below

https://gitee.com/ripperhe/Bob/attach_files/1011267/download/Bob.zip

2. After unzipping, drag Bob.app to the application folder

configure

After the installation is complete, start Bob , which can be found in the top status bar:

Click Preferences , you can first set the shortcut keys for your commonly used translation functions:

Then click on the service , here you can configure the translation source you want to use, the default is a trial version of Baidu Translate (not very easy to use), so it is recommended to configure one other, you can also configure multiple under conditions!

Here I use Tencent Translator , which is not necessarily the best in terms of comprehensiveness, but in the process of reading technical documents, I feel that Tencent Translator has done a better job in identifying technical content, especially professional terms, so I mainly Just look at this.

For configuration, detailed documents are also provided here to guide you to help you complete the application and configuration.

As for the configuration of other translation sources and more functions, there are also detailed instructions in the documentation, and I will not go into details about the specific operations.

It is also worth mentioning that because this translation software seems to be open source and has plug-in capabilities, it is easier for programmers to expand the functions they want than other commercial translation software to achieve a more comfortable usage habit.

So, if you are looking for translation software, try this one that DD has been using.
