# README * CLIPBOARD-UTILS Perform some useful actions on your clipboard contents. The idea is that you select some text, and instantly, you have some action processed on that selection; ie. translation, dictionary, etc. * IN THIS RELEASE By now, it only acts as a translator. More features to come. * HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS Gnome based desktop, and Python 2.6.5, with: gtk, glib, urllib, json. Tested on Ubuntu 10.04 i686. * INSTALLATION Access the "clipboard-utils" folder and execute "python playwords.py", and you'll have translation capabilities from english to spanish. * GETTING STARTED Edit the file "playword.py", and change the variables "LANG_FROM" and "LANG_TO" in order to have diferent translations. * CAVEATS To end the program, you have to kill it directly. When you select some text in Google Chrome, it doesn't wait untill you release the mouse button; instead, it tries to translate each letter it encounters. It just has the translation feature.
