Features and improvements

realgooseman opened this issue · comments

Hi @vitonsky and other contributors,

Best translating extension out there, I use it daily. But I'd suggest some improvements :

  • Dark theme : ideally for all Linguist pages/pop-ups. But pop-up only is good too (Prioritized, to prevent eye strain at night)
  • More translation options (LibreTranslate, Lingva, DeepL with API key,...)
  • Adding a button on the pop-up to copy all translated text to clipboard (for now there only is a TTS and bookmark button)
  • Built-in dictionary that gives selected word definition, pronunciation,... with the translation pop-up (Wiktionary, TheFreeDictionary,..)

I've seen there are already open issues for some improvements I mentioned, are these features considered or being worked on ?

@realgooseman hi, you can use custom translators right now, check the https://github.com/translate-tools/linguist-translators.

We have issue #86 for a dark theme, but i no have enough time for now to work on it.

Built-in dictionary it's good idea, you can create issue for it.

Adding a button on the pop-up to copy all translated text to clipboard (for now there only is a TTS and bookmark button)

You can check the #301 and comment there:

  • where you want to have a button to copy
  • how this button should works
  • help us to choose place for the button

Great, thanks for the clarification. I will create an issue for the Built-in dictionary feature.
