Unlike the G* ogle Translate feature, we know of other translator alternatives like Atlas and LEC, but those aren't frequently updated, unlike the G*ogle Translate. Not to mention the Machine Learning part, right? A 'simple solution' that doesn't need many works wouldn't simply drop from the sky.
And that's why I bother myself to make this post.
My brein is not enough. WE need more input. I think of several approaches on this matter and still hit a wall, ugh. If things get a bit technical, please don't blame me. Blame g*ogle for causing this problem lel.
VNR and Textractor can capture text thread and handed the text into Clipboard -> translated into Eng version inside the software itself
Idea
Once clipboard contain 'text' -> trigger script (python/js/powershell) -> pasting the text inside webpage / auto firing URL to translate.
Problem
How to trigger a response like ATLAS Clipboard Translation where it appears after a copy occurred?
Get data from the clipboard is another challenge as well. Chrome extension only enables copy paste for data from Chrome itself, not clipboard to Chrome, sigh.
Solution
You can checkout this
post for a similar approach.
Using the G*ogle Translate app in Android, you can simply hold your phone against the computer screen to immediately get the translation result in few secs. Get a phone holder to avoid shaky hands（≧ｙ≦＊)
I haven't explored it in detail. The idea is to utilize a clipboard sharing extension/app between PC & Android. It will still need a user to click translate manually after pasting the text.
Not very practical (ノ_<。)
In Textractor, there's an API field for Google Translate.dll (extension).
You can get the API from Create Credentials > API Key. Not Free tho~
Indeed no. 2 is more convenient than others, no brein needed. LOL.
But the winner of this is definitely Approach No. 1~
May some people be kind enough to share their insight \(◜⌓◝)/
And hopefully this helps you on the VN journey.
v(￣∇￣) Cya till next post. *POOF

Useful? Not helpful enough? Feel free to rant about it in the comment sections. And be a bit specific about problem, yeah? Saying it doesn't work, wouldn't help much. Like finding nemo in the sea. Still can find, but heck difficult. ଘ(੭*ˊᵕˋ)੭* ̀ˋ ɪɴᴛᴇʀɴᴇᴛs
Indeed, Google translation no longer works on VNR, ;(
ReplyDeleteDo we really have no choice but to learn Japanese?
January 2021 , No one bothered to fix the Issue ; I guess this is the end of the Old VNR ?
ReplyDeleteI found a chrome extension that allow to paste de clipboard text of vn to the google translate, https://www.reddit.com/r/visualnovels/comments/k64xg7/is_google_translate_via_visual_novel_reader_and/
ReplyDeleteI Tried it and is very good, but you need to play in window size. Is better than nothing.
Thanks for giving this suggestion~ ♡ True that this way is better than none. >-<
