[![build/ubuntu-latest](https://github.com/jerinphilip/lemonade/actions/workflows/main.yml/badge.svg)](./.github/workflows/main.yml)

Abuses [iBus](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intelligent_Input_Bus) to hijack

text entered into a field by a user, to insert translated text into any

graphical application. 

This allows you to enter text in a language you know, while the field gets the

translated text. Useful when interacting with websites or agents in a foreign

language.

Find a demonstration of iBus in action on LibreOffice below:



The functionality will work in any GUI application which requests

keyboard-input - browser, text-editors, mail-clients, chat clients etc.

## Setup

Setup currently requires some technical expertise. There are setup-instructions

[here](https://github.com/jerinphilip/lemonade/wiki/Setting-Up-iBus). 

Please contact via email if need further support and/or you can help improve by

contributing.

## History 

This repository was formerly a sandbox used to build proof-of-concept

applications of

[bergamot-translator](https://github.com/browsermt/bergamot-translator) outside

the [official deliverables](https://browser.mt/deliverables). Python bindings

have been moved to upstream bergamot-translator. What remains here is

ibus-engine.

## Acknowledgements

This application was made possible through the combined effort of all

researchers and [partners](https://browser.mt/partners/) in the Bergamot

project. The [translation models](https://github.com/browsermt/students) are

prepared as part of the Bergamot project. The translation engine used is

[slimt](https://github.com/jerinphilip/slimt/) which is an inference slice

using only one class of models within is based on

[marian](https://github.com/marian-nmt/marian-dev).
