Goot translate using Yahoo Babel fish

#3167 Post by Geoffrey »

Edit: it seems microsoft has taken control of yahoo bablefish translate,
it's gone the way of google translate, so Goot it now totally useless.



Sometime ago I posted Goot a Java translator which was using Google, now that it can't be used, Goot is still able to do translating using Yahoo Babel fish, I've been unable to find anything else in the way of a desktop translation application, I have removed the Google plugin and added the start preferences for Yahoo Babel fish plugin, this could be useful..
goot is a cross platform translation tool that aims to harness this power conveniently on your desktop. It allows you to use plug-ins to integrate it with a huge number of online translators, the principle one being Google Translate (which is included by default). If you want a plug-in for a translation site that's not available, as long as you know a bit of Java you can make your own.

The big disadvantage of goot though is that it's only suitable for single words and sentences. It can't translate huge chunks of text or entire web pages. It does, however, auto-detect the language the source was written in, making it useful if you're constantly interchanging texts. Translations are generally very good and delivered quickly although it obviously depends on the plug-in you are using.

goot is a handy way to bring powerful translation tools to your desktop, although it's a shame it doesn't translate more than a few words at once.

I did end up buying a PSP Vita so needless to say I didn't accomplish anything else last weekend. Hopefully I can get a bunch done next weekend. I have a big trip to LA and Hawaii after that.

I like the third one. Although I would like it even more if the background was a different colour. (Brown is a little too much like Ubuntu for me...) Any chance of giving it a grey gradient background (darker grey at the left hand side and lighter at the right) and putting the "SALUKI" directly under the dogs head?

AdobeAir guitar

That's pretty sweet.

How much resources does AdobeAir use? Is it pretty light? I've never used it before, but some of these apps(?) you're putting up are kind of tempting :)

Bug in icewm or xfce4?

#3177 Post by Dromeno »

The Saluki 22 package manager offers JWM and IceWM as alternative window managers for xfce4. But if you install IceWM there is no way to switch back to xfce4 (xwin startxfce4 doesn't work properly; xfce4 is started but later the system goes starts IceWM).

With JWM this does not occur but there the wallpaper is wiped out. The wallpaper chooser in xfce4 does not work too good either, it only accepts the name "default".

There is a symlink missing. Symlink /usr/share/backgrounds to /usr/share/xfce4/backdrops
Note it has to be called backdrops, NOT backgrounds.

elroy,

AdobeAir 63Meg installed, all the apps are smallish, yeah there are a few good one's amongst them, I'm still on the prowl to find more,
though they do seem to be a little elusive, I'm trying to ignore all the twitter clients, one is enough.

Seems to run ok on my machine with usb install, I find Firefox is hungrier, picture shows Desktube TV Lite, I just received a update for that,
I'll see how it runs and might upload that, I have had a problem with it with the sound cutting out, I had to restart x to restore the sound so I've put off uploading it.

Hello, I use Upup the Precise, how can Saluki the same can be automatically mounted hard drive all the partitions?the automount? Thank you, pet it?If we can provide a better thank you very much!

automount

#3182 Post by elroy »

With Saluki 021 and earlier, you can auto-mount by going into the control panel from the main menu and choose System->Mount Drives at Start.

With Saluki 022 you just open the file manager (Thunar) and click on the drive icon that you wish to mount. It'll then mount and display in the same file manager window. No need to use auto-mount in Saluki 022.

Runs really well on mine, too. Impressive. Too bad you couldn't package the start-up modification code...

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh

export GNOME_DESKTOP_SESSION_ID="xfce"

adl /path/to/air/app/application.xml
...and key-ring together along with a dummy password to auto-activate the key-ring.

Either way they're nice apps. Looking forward to trying out some of the others you may find. Nice work, Geoffrey.
