# Anytranslate
Translate words from and to your native language, anywhere.
> This script is based on [Anycomplete](https://github.com/nathancahill/Anycomplete)
---
### How to install the script
```bash
$ git clone https://github.com/timgrossmann/Anytranslate.git ~/.hammerspoon/anytranslate
```
Now you simply need to add
```lua
dofile("./anytranslate/anytranslate.lua")
```
to the init.lua file inside of the .hammerspoon folder.
> If you don't have an init.lua file, just create it
---
### How to install Hammerspoon
Go the the [HammerSpoon Webpage](http://www.hammerspoon.org) and check out "How do I install it?"
Once installed just make sure you have accessibility enabled in the preferences.
---
### Setup
Enter your keys and languages into the script file. Defaults are "de"(german) to en("english")
> You can get the translation api key here: https://tech.yandex.com/translate/
> And the dictionary api key here: https://tech.yandex.com/dictionary/
> Just register for free and click "Get a free API key."
```lua
local TRANS_KEY =
local DICT_KEY =
local NATIVE_LANG =
local INTO_LANG = --In what language to you want to tranlaste the text if you enter your native language
local LANG_HINTS = "de,en" --Prefer some languages (will be prefered if detection is not surea)
```
---
### Usage
Start with the hotkey `⌃⌥⌘T`. Once you start typing, translations will be displayed once a valid word is entered.
They can be choosen with `⌘1-9` or by pressing the arrow keys and Enter.
If you want to change the hotkey just replace the "T" on the second line of the script with your favored key
```lua
hs.hotkey.bind({"cmd", "alt", "ctrl"}, "T", function()
```
