# Translate Widget
This widget allows quickly translate words or phrases without opening a browser - just using Awesome. To provide direction of the translation add the 2 letters code of the source and target languages at the end of the phrase, for example _hello enfr_ will translate _hello_ from English to French. This widget is based on [Yandex.Translate API](https://tech.yandex.com/translate/).
![demo](./demo.gif)
## Controls
- <kbd>Mod4</kbd> + <kbd>c</kbd> - opens a translate prompt;
- left click on the popup widget - copies the translation to the clipboard and closes widget;
- right click on the popup widget - copies text to translate to the clipboard and closes widget.
## Installation
1. Clone repo under **~/.config/awesome/**
1. Get an [API key](https://translate.yandex.com/developers/keys) and paste it in **secrets.lua**
1. Require widget and secrets in **rc.lua**:
```lua
local secrets = require("awesome-wm-widgets.secrets")
local translate = require("awesome-wm-widgets.translate-widget.translate")
```
1. Create a translate prompt, just under `mypromptbox`:
```lua
s.mypromptbox = awful.widget.prompt()
s.translateprompt = awful.widget.prompt()
```
1. Add it to the left widgets of the wibox, just after `mypromptbox`:
```lua
-- Add widgets to the wibox
s.mywibox:setup {
layout = wibox.layout.align.horizontal,
{ -- Left widgets
layout = wibox.layout.fixed.horizontal,
mylauncher,
s.mytaglist,
s.mypromptbox,
s.translateprompt,
},
```
1. Add a shortcut to run this prompt (note that we pass an API key from secrets.lua in method call):
```lua
awful.key({ modkey }, "c", function()
awful.prompt.run {
prompt = "trnslt: ",
textbox = awful.screen.focused().translateprompt.widget,
exe_callback = function(text)
translate.translate(text, secrets.translate_widget_api_key)
end
}
```
