Some time ago, I posted a video about Spring support for PHP: check it out

Then some friends left comments saying: “Your translation seems to be very good.”

Yeah, I think it works pretty well myself. If you haven’t seen the video before and don’t know which one it is, you can simply understand it through the screenshot:

The basic operation is to select the sentence to be translated, directly press a shortcut key, and it can produce the results of multiple translation apis at the same time.

Good, nonsense not much to say, the following specific introduction of this translation software!

Bob

The translation software I’m using is an open source software called Bob.

Although the icon is a little ugly + mainstream, but really good to use. However, it is a pity that the current support is mainly for MacOS users.

The functions basically cover the conventional requirements:

  • Stroke translation (I use it most often)
  • Screenshot of translation
  • The input translation
  • Translation rolled
  • Custom plug-in
  • Automatic language recognition
  • Hump split, snake split
  • AppleScript call
  • PopClip call

The installation

Homebrew is installed

Homebrew users who already have it installed can install it directly with the following command

brew install --cask bob
Copy the code

Manual installation

  1. Download the installation package from the following link

Gitee.com/ripperhe/Bo…

  1. After decompressing, putBob.appDrag it into the applications folder

configuration

After the installation is complete, start Bob, which can be found in the top status bar:

Click on preferences to set the shortcut keys for your common translation functions:

Then click on the service, here you can configure the translation source you want to use, the default is a Trial version of Baidu translation (not very good), so it is recommended to configure a other, conditional circumstances you can also configure more!

Here I use Tencent translator, not necessarily the best in comprehensive aspects, but WHEN I read technical documents, I feel that Tencent translator does a better job in the identification of technical content, especially professional terms, so I mainly look at this.

For configuration, detailed documentation is provided to guide you through the application and configuration.

As for the configuration of other translation sources and more functions, there are detailed instructions in the documentation, I won’t go into details about the specific operation.

In addition, it is worth mentioning that because this translation software seems to be open source and has the ability of plug-ins, it is easier for programmers to expand their desired functions than other commercial translation software, so as to achieve more comfortable use habits.

So if you’re looking for a translation app, try the one DD has been using.
