coffebar / crowtranslate.nvim

Translate the visually selected text in Neovim.

crowtranslate.nvim

This Neovim plugin allows you to translate selected text using Crow Translate (required on your system).

Text will be replaced over the selection.

Installation

Using lazy.nvim:

{
    "coffebar/crowtranslate.nvim",
    lazy = true,
    cmd = { "CrowTranslate" },
    opts = {
        -- Japanese to English if selected text includes Japanese characters
        language = "ja",
        mask = "[ぁ-んァ-ン一-龥]", -- regex for your language detection
        default = "en", -- alternative language
        engine = "google", -- google, bing, libretranslate, lingva, yandex
    },
},

Usage

Select text in visual mode and run :CrowTranslate. Text will be replaced with the translation.

-- Example keymap with which-key
local wk = require("which-key")
wk.register({
    T = { "<cmd>CrowTranslate<cr>", "Translate selected text" },
}, { mode = "x" })

The direction will be automatically detected based on the selected text and the mask option.

Alternatively, you can specify the direction manually by passing argument to command:

:CrowTranslate en
