Description: Easy to use translation plasmoid (GUI for translate-shell package). Reguired translate-shell package. Note: To work properly after this update, you need to remove and re-add the widget to the panel / desktop.
FAQ: Transfer limit: 5000 characters TTS limit: 200 characters Be sure that QtMultimedia is present on your system for TTS support. To use the pop-up translation, set the shortcut in the settings, select the text and call the shortcut (you need the xsel package to use it). To new directly update function make shure that xmlpatterns package present on your system.

Update 0.8
New popup translate function (see FAQ). After this update you can get new updates of widget directly from settings.
As it says, its for Plasma5 only. Since i use Plasma6 i can not use it. Would be nice the maintainer could bring it to Plasma6 as this is the current version for more than a year to this date.
Lovely. Now on Ubuntu X11, when clicked, it opens normally. When called with the shortcut (which is used in 99% cases), it opens "Transalator - Plasma" window which is passive and non editable. I see no purpose of it. It should open the applet based on explicit promise: "This shortcut will activate the applet as though it had been clicked." Probably some glitch.
Great plugin!
Hi, I tried to make this work on Wayland. I replaced xsel with wl-copy and wl-paste you can use:
sed -i 's/xsel --clear/wl-copy --clear/g' ~/.local/share/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.plasma.translator/contents/ui/main.qml
sed -i 's/xsel -o/wl-paste/g' ~/.local/share/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.plasma.translator/contents/ui/main.qml
A check could be added so that if running under Wayland it prompts to install wl-clipboard.

Sadly it doesn't work anymore, since it doesn't support Plasma 6
Good afternoon. I'm already working on adapting the widget for Plasma6.
That's excellent news! It's one of the reasons I've held back from upgrading to Plasma 6 yet.
Good to hear! This is such a cool tool.
Is there any news?
A prettier icon to use could be crow-translate-tray
Good day. For now i prepare big update with many changes. When it ready I let you know.
7 I miss support of open translators like https://github.com/LibreTranslate/LibreTranslate or Mozilla Firefox used translator
I have already received proposals for this, but I can only do it in my free time.
It's just an interface to the package. If you have any suggestions, please address them to the translate-shell developer.
10 Thank you for this, saved me a lot of time!

Thanks, I'll try to add Wayland support in the next update.

3 Unmaintained. Text speaking did not work. I recommend Crow Translate
Good day. Thanks for your feedback. I will look at what the playback problem is and fix it in the next release.
Any updates on this?
this is a problem with the translate-shell package itself (as soon as it is fixed, the function will appear in the widget as well).
i see. hope it'll be fixed soon. thank you.
10 hi @driglu4it any github/gitlab link? i want to packaging this addons. thank you.
