Qute-Translate

userscript for qutebrowser for translation of pages or selected text using Google translate.

Installation

Run install.sh or simply create a symbolic link or copy the file translate to the qutebrowser's userscripts directory (usually ~/.local/share/qutebrowser/userscripts) and make it executable.

Usage

Translate page

To translate the current page simply to

By default the source language will be automatically detected and the target language will be English. To specify other languages use the arguments -s/--source and -t/--target. For example to translate from German to Swedish do

Default languages can also be set using the environment variables QUTE_TRANS_SOURCE and QUTE_TRANS_TARGET in bash.

Translate selected text

To translate selected text add the --text argument as for example

spawn --userscript translate --text

In hint mode

The userscript can also be used in hint mode by doing

hint links userscript translate

Key-bindings

You can set your own key-bindings for examples as

config.bind(';t', 'hint userscript link translate')
config.bind(';T', 'hint userscript all translate --text')
config.bind('<Ctrl+T>', 'spawn --userscript translate')
config.bind('<Ctrl+Shift+T>', 'spawn --userscript translate --text')

--userscript translate --text doesn't work with cyrillic letters

Hello,

I have noticed that the --text option doesn't work with cyrillic letters, only with latin.
