Hi,
I'm on Fedora 23, I've recently updated to 0.6.1. I have issue with the yandex key since 2 words translation doesn't work.

So I have a yandex key, which starts with trnsl then a bunch of dots and numbers. I've double clicked on the translator_config.ui file, which opened in Qt4 Designer. Then I copied the whole key (including the trnsl), then saved the file.

Is there anything I missed or did improperly? Thanks for the constant improvements ;)
Cheers

Hi,

yes, the yandex key starts with trnsl. However, there is no need to edit the config file. Once you installed the runner there is a config menu available where you can enter the key.

No action typing stuff like fr-en maison
No notice of this runner on the "search options" dialog.

Running up-to-date Debian Sid.

Could you paste the output of the cmake and make commands?

Did you restart krunner after installation?

Checked the latest version based on the new API.

Works good, thx for that.

One suggestion: Would be awesome if you could add the possibility to set a default source language.

Example:
1. Set source langage to "de"
2. search like this: en DeWord (en is the target language)
3. Result: DeWord in English

This would make the translation shorter again (As it was with googles auto language detection).

Regards

Thanks for you feedback and have a look at the new version (0.6). You can specify a primary and secondary language in the config dialog. What do you think about it?

Further, see README for instructions to reenable translation of sentences.

Wow works great well done.

The only complain i have is that it's hard to understand how the primary and secondary language settings are working.

I think it should be self explanatory to a point where a short help text in the GUI is enough to understand it. When you install it via a package manager you have no readme file.

Suggestion:
Rename "Translator Config" to "Source language settings".
Call it "Default" and "Alternative"
If qt allows it. Add a hint somewhere that explains what each does.
1. "Default - Defines the default source language so you can translate a string with providing the target language only. (EXAMPLE)"
2. "Alternative - Will be used when the target language is the same as the default language."

Not perfect by any means but maybe it helps somehow. Just a quick idea.

Yep, currently any hints and explenations are missing. Your suggestions sounds good, will do it on the weekend.

It's the same with the api key. Could you follow my instructions?

Thanks for the note, I can reproduce this. I'll have a look at it after christmas.

Had a look into it: Seems like it's not related to Plasma 5.5. Google made some changes to their api, probably they do not want their service to be used like that. Therefore it seems not reasonable to try to bypass this somehow since it will be broken in some weeks again.

I guess I have to look at other apis. Hopefully there is a high-quality and open source friendly api available.

Thanks for the tip. However, you need an api key to access the api. Since I'm not allowed to share my key, every user has to create an account there, get an api key, and enter it somewhere in a config file or so and only then the plugin would work. This is to complicate I think.

However .... haven't found a better solution yet.

But yandex seems to support oauth, this may work.

Yes, a bit complicated, but anyway Yandex offer great translation quality and huge amount of languages.

Finally ... it should work again!

For the momemnt it uses glosbe.com, but I'll add yandex too. Unfourtunately I had to drop language detection and translation of sentences.

yandex.com is now supported! Configuration is a bit complicate but once it is working it is almost as comfortable as it was with google translate.

Thanks a lot for the new PKGBUILD.

Compiling went fine but anyhow installation aborted due to existing /lib64. This is a least what pacman says when I try to install via pacman -U

Any tips how to solve that?

Hi,

Many thanks for the port!

On my Fedora 22, I installed the following packages:
install qt5-qtbase-devel
install extra-cmake-modules.noarch
kf5-ki18n-devel.x86_64
kf5-plasma-devel.x86_64
kf5-krunner-devel.x86_64

then compiled and installed successfully. I had to use the trick you provide in the INSTALL file to move the .so file in the correct location.

However krunner-translator doesn"t seem to work. Nothing happens when I hit alt F2 then type "fr-en maison".

Please let me know if I can provide any other information to help you solve this ;)

Best,
Edouard
