## Installation

[Download](https://github.com/fbjorn/translate-workflow/releases/) Alfred

workflow and open it

## Configuration

Before start using this awesome workflow, you need to proceed with following

steps:

#### To enable words translation:

1. Obtain Dictionary [API key](https://yandex.ru/dev/dictionary/keys/get/). It's

   free

2. Invoke Alfred and type `tset `. Choose _Save as Dictionary Api Key_

#### To enable text translation:

1. This step requires paid account on

   [Yandex.Cloud](https://cloud.yandex.ru/docs/translate/). It's extremely cheap

   for amateur usage of Translate API though.

2. Go to cloud console and create a service account with `editor` role.

3. Generate

   [API Token](https://cloud.yandex.com/docs/iam/operations/api-key/create) for

   this service account

4. Invoke Alfred and type `tset `. Choose _Save as Translate Api Token_

> Note: All your keys and tokens are stored in the OSX Keychain securely

## Usage

Just type `t ` or `t ` and you'll get the input translated

## Local development

```bash

make

```

It will create a `translate-workflow` folder in your default Alfred installation

and add all required source files as symlinks.

Then just open Alfred on Workflows tab and you'll find it.

### TODO:

- Store desired languages in local settings

- Auto detect source language

- Cache API Keys to not access OSX Keychain every time

- Cache API responses locally
