Translator

Translator adds a launcher provider that translates text through Google Translate and copies the selected result to the clipboard.

Plugin

Field	Value
ID	noctalia/translator
Entry	Launcher provider: translate
Launcher Prefix	/tr

Usage

Open the Noctalia launcher and type /tr, followed by an optional target language and the text to translate.

/tr es hello world
/tr french good morning
/tr hello world

When the first word is a known language name, alias, or two- to three-letter language code, it is used as the target language. Otherwise the plugin uses the configured target_lang. Press Enter on a translation result to copy it to the clipboard.

Requirements

The provider uses Google Translate's public translate_a/single endpoint, so it requires network access to translate.google.com.

Settings

Setting	Type	Default	Description
target_lang	string	en	Default target language code when the query does not include one.

Notes

Results are cached in memory for the current plugin session, and duplicate in-flight requests are coalesced while typing.
