If you see a piece of text that you need translated quickly and easily, use Dialect! First, select it's language (or have the app automatically identify it). Then, choose what you want it converted into. Finally, watch as the your choice of translation backend does the hard work for you. Dialect even lets you have the localised paragraph read out-loud!

You can get the app on Flathub here: https://flathub.org/apps/app.drey.Dialect

@gnomeapps Thanks! But actually I'm not the creator of the app, just one of the two current maintainers 😅.
@rafaelmardojai @gnomeapps are there plans to add deepl support?

@julian is planned but it's a bit complicated.

@gnomeapps @rafaelmardojai I should find my notes for local translation apps/ services.

Dialect is cool for sure and gets the job done.

@gnomeapps @rafaelmardojai Any plans of making a “Translate Text” context menu in Nautilus?
@shanmukhateja We have plans for document translation, but not sure if we're going to provide a Nautilus plugin.

@rafaelmardojai well we will take anything we get. Please consider exposing a D-Bus interface.

That alone would be sufficient.

@shanmukhateja @gnomeapps @rafaelmardojai I was thinking about sth. like https://github.com/soimort/translate-shell to create an entry for the context menu
GitHub - soimort/translate-shell: :speech_balloon: Command-line translator using Google Translate, Bing Translator, Yandex.Translate, etc.
