Translate from/to your favourite language using Google or Microsoft Translate. *Get it from Github: https://github.com/rustycamper/alfred-translate-workflow/releases/latest *

Usage:

  • tr : translate query.
  • tr-setapi : select Google or Microsoft Translate service.
  • tr-setkey : set your API key.
  • tr-setlang : set target language (language to translate to).

Note: You won't need to set a source (from) language. Both Google and Microsoft are pretty good at guessing the origin language.

Features:

  • Secure: keys are stored in Mac's native Keychain tool.
  • Fast: repeat queries are cached for speed.

The first time you run the workflow, it will prompt you to enter your API key for Google or Microsoft. * Instructions on how to get a Google API key: https://cloud.google.com/translate/docs/getting-started#set_up_your_project * Instructions on how to get a Microsoft API key: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/translator/getstarted.aspx
