The first open source translator which is completely open with dictionary data too.

Project description

EasyDict

The first open source translator which is completely open with dictionary data too. The homepage is http://easydict.jiri.one. On this page you can also try the search results, which will be the same as in the app (however, the web application does not use TinyDB+orjson as a backend, but uses RethinkDB - the source data is the same). The application is at an early stage of development, but the features and dictionaries that have already been implemented work very well.

What is it

EasyDict is a simple translator that will translate, typically, one word in one language into another language. This translator has several, sometimes unique, features.

  1. It is written in Python.
  2. It uses the fastest json implementation for storing dictionaries - orjson (own orjson storage for TinyDB).
  3. The user interface is written in PyGObject (GTK3.0).
  4. The application starts hidden in tray and tapping tray brings up the main application window - xapp library is used.
  5. If you have the main application window displayed, it is displayed on top and overlays all other windows. In this mode, the app monitors the clipboard and automatically translates the words you copy into it.
  6. You can use either a whole word search or a full-text.

Currently available dictionaries

Currently only Czech-English and English-Czech dictionaries are available. This dictionary data comes from the http://svobodneslovniky.cz project (the dictionary data is therefore governed by the GNU/FDL license).

How to install it and use it

Because, the app is writen in Python, you can simply install from PyPi: pip install easydict-gtk and run it with: easydict-gtk The second option to install easydict-gtk is to use Flatpak: flatpak install -y one.jiri.easydict-gtk and run it with: flatpak run one.jiri.easydict-gtk Note: In Flatpak version is not supported tray icon, if you need tray, you have to use classic version from PyPi or from source code.

Dependencies:
