AmiTranslate 0.4

Posted by ALB42 on 5. September 2024

After some questions about AmiTranslate, I improved it a bit with some convenience features, namely buttons and menus to copy paste and clear the contents.

Changes:

  • Main menu with copy (result text) and paste (source text) and Clear
  • Buttons for Copy, paste and Clear
  • Button to switch input and output language
    • if Auto is selected the automatically detected language is used (if any)
  • minor bugfixes

AmiFox 0.5

Posted by ALB42 on 18. Februar 2024

A new AmiFox is released its the Version 0.5. The most important changes are the possibility to download Stuff from Itch.io, which is not possible with other browsers on Classic Amiga. Also if you want to continue your surfing on the mobile it is possible to show the current URL as QR-Code. Also again some bugfixes for size calculations and there are some old TCP/IP stacks outside with a bsdsocket.library lower than 4. To be honest I don’t know if we could work with Version 3 but I guess not.

Also check the Amitopia Page.

AmiTranslate 0.3

Posted by ALB42 on 7. Oktober 2023

A while before I showed that the PDF output can now also show the japanese characters. I also implemented a direct printing of japanese characters to the application itself.

it uses ttengine which is available for Amiga, MorphOS and AROS which is good for me to use. but of course the application will also work without, just the fancy print will not work.

so today i publish this Version on time for the Amiga 38.

AmiTranslate 0.2

Posted by ALB42 on 23. Juli 2023

I noticed some bugs in AmiTranslate and also got some suggestions how to improve the program. Firstly the scrollbars for the text edits did not work (where not connected to the actual textedit). The pdf did not care about returns or line wrap so a longer text are not readable. Now it cares about returns in the text and will also insert line wraps for longer texts.

A wish was to include a context menu for both edits to copy and paste text.

So it’s time for a new release 0.2, Download at the Programs Page

AmiTranslate with DeepL

Posted by ALB42 on 8. Juli 2023

Usually when I translate texts from one language to an other I use DeepL to do it, it makes better results than Google translate in the most cases (at least if german is the target language). It also has an API to use and the first 500.000 chars are free, so I created a little program for Amiga to use that API.

It’s stupidly named AmiTranslate I know very unimaginative but hey seems the name is not used already, so why not. Of course the program needs an Internet connection and SSL (OpenSSL3 on MorphOS; AmiSSL on all other systems) because it talks directly with the DeepL server (via https) and it needs the texteditor.mcc.

Of course for some of the languages there is the problem of showing the chars (e.g. russian) for that I included a PDF writing function and a plain UTF-8 Text output then you can use other programs to read the actual text. of course nicer would be to make a real TTF output maybe later.

I also removed some languages which does not work at all (even the PDF output, like japanese, korean and chinese)

If you have an own DeepL key you can add the ToolType „DEEPLKEY=<key>“ to the icon, then even my 500.000 chars are used you can still use your own, it’s free so why not.

AmiFox-Server for everyone

Posted by ALB42 on 1. April 2023

The AmiFox Server can already be used via docker container with everything you need installed, but this works atm only for x64 linux with docker installed. But the original WRP was already prepared to cross compile to multiple targets, so I made a release with all the platforms available which includes, Windows, Mac or Linux on a RasPi, there you can start the apps directly. You might need some additional packages though, for example a current Google Chrome / Chromium Browser browser must be installed.
