Dialect: An Open-Source Translation App for Linux
|
||||||
|
======
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
_**Brief:** Dialect is a straightforward app that lets you translate between languages using web services. To explore more, let us take a closer look._
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
While you can launch the web browser and directly use any translation service to get the job done, a desktop app can sometimes come in handy.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Dialect is a simple translation app that utilizes web services to translate while giving you some extra abilities.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Open-Source Translation App with Google Translate & LibreTranslate
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|

|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Dialect is primarily an app tailored for GNOME desktops, but it should work fine with other desktop environments.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
It lets you quickly translate languages along with a few extra options.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
At its core, it lets you choose between Google Translate or LibreTranslate as the translation service.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Even though LibreTranslate cannot come close to Google Translate’s accuracy, featuring it as an option to switch is an excellent addition. At least, for some basic usage, if a user does not want to utilize Google’s services, you have an alternative ready on your desktop.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Features of Dialect
|
||||||
|
|

||||||

||||||
|
Along with the ability to switch translation services, you get a few more tweaks:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* Pronunciation
|
||||||
|
* Text to Speech functionality (Google)
|
||||||
|
* Dark mode
|
||||||
|
* Translation shortcut
|
||||||
|
* Live Translation
|
||||||
|
* Clipboard buttons to quickly copy/paste
|
||||||
|
* Translation history (undo/redo)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
As you can notice in the screenshot, the live translation feature may get your IP addressed banned from using the service because of API abuse.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|

|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
I tried using LibreTranslate (as shown in the image above) and Google Translate with the live translation feature enabled, and it worked fine.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Maybe if you rely on translations quite often, you may want to avoid the feature. But, for my quick usage, the services didn’t ban by IP address for quite a few test runs.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
It is important to note that you can specify a custom LibreTranslate instance if you want. By default, it uses “translate.astian.org” as the instance.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
You may not find a separate translation history section, but the arrow buttons in the top-left corner of the window will let you see your previous translations and the translation settings as well.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
So, it works as a redo/undo feature as well.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Installing Dialect in Linux
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Dialect is available as a [Flatpak][4]. So, you should be able to install it on any Linux distro of your choice. If you are new to this, you might want to check out our [Flatpak guide][5] for help.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
First, add Flathub repo:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
And then install the application:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
flatpak install flathub com.github.gi_lom.dialect
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Once installed, look for it in the system menu and start it from there.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
You can also explore its [GitHub page][6] for more information.
