Crow Translate 是一款实用的多语种翻译软件，软件支持的翻译语言有很多种，包括英语、日语、韩语、德语等，并支持翻译后进行朗读，还能够批量翻译文本，非常适用于经常需要将句子快速翻译为多种语言的所有用户。软件的使用方法也非常的简单，你只需要在左侧面板中输入源文本，并在右侧面板中显示翻译即可，在此过程中你可以选择需要翻译的语言以及目标语言，非常方便。该软件与其他类似的软件不同，在这里你可以直接在使用过程中创建目标语言列表，然后单击鼠标即可轻松在它们之间切换，如果你想对单个单词进行深入的定义，也可以像词典一样显示信息以及词性的类型，翻译和各种上下文示例。

Dependencies
Required
- CMake 3.16+
- Extra CMake Modules
- Qt 5.9+ with Widgets, Network, Multimedia, Concurrent, X11Extras (Linux), DBus (Linux) and WinExtras (Windows) modules
- Tesseract 4.0+
- Png2Ico or IcoTool for generating executable icon (Windows)
Optional
External libraries
This project uses the following external libraries, which included as git submodules:
- QOnlineTranslator - provides free usage of Google, Yandex and Bing translate API.
- QGitTag - uses the GitHub API to provide information about releases.
- QHotkey - provides global shortcuts for desktop platforms.
- QTaskbarControl - to create a taskbar/launcher progress for all desktop platforms.
- SingleApplication - prevents launch of multiple application instances.
Icons
Fluent icon theme is bundled to provide icons on Windows and fallback icons on Linux.
circle-flags icons are used for flags.
Installation
Downloads are available on the Releases page. Also check out the website for other installation methods.
Note: On Linux to make the application look native on a non-KDE desktop environment, you need to configure Qt applications styling. This can be done by using qt5ct or adwaita-qt5 or qtstyleplugins. Please check the appropriate installation guide for your distribution.
Note: Windows requires Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable 2019 to work.
Building
Building executable
You can build Crow Translate by using the following commands:
mkdir build
cd build
cmake .. # Or `cmake -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ..` for single-configuration generators such as Ninja or GNU Make
cmake --build . # Or `cmake --build . --config Release` for multi-config generators such as Visual Studio Generators or Xcode
You will then get a binary named crow.
Building a package using CPack
CMake can create specified package types automatically.
If you use Makefile, Ninja, or Xcode generator you can use package target:
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -D CPACK_GENERATOR=DEB .. # You can specify several types of packages separated by semicolons in double quotes, for example: `CPACK_GENERATOR="DEB;ZIP;NSIS"`
cmake --build . --target package
Or you can use CPack utility for any generators:
mkdir build
cd build
cmake .. # Or `cmake -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ..` for single-configuration generators such as Ninja or GNU Make
cpack -G DEB # Or `cpack -G DEB -C Release` for multi-config generators such as Visual Studio Generators or Xcode
On Windows you need VCPKG to bundle all necessary DLLs.
Build parameters
WITH_PORTABLE_MODE- Enable portable functionality. If you create file namedsettings.iniin the app folder and Crow will store the configuration in it. It also adds the “Portable Mode” option to the application settings, which does the same.WITH_KWAYLAND- Find and use KWayland library for better Wayland integration.
Build parameters are passed at configuration stage: cmake -D WITH_PORTABLE_MODE ...
Localization
To help with localization you can use Crowdin or translate files in data/translations with Qt Linguist directly. To add a new language, write me on the Crowdin page or copy data/translations/crow-translate.ts to data/translations/crow-translate_<ISO 639-1 language code>_<ISO 3166-1 country code>.ts, translate it and send a pull request.
