# translate-shell.el

`translate-shell.el` is an unofficial Emacs front-end for

[translate-shell](https://github.com/soimort/translate-shell). translate-shell

is command-line translator powered by Google Translate.

## Installations

To install manually, make sure this file is saved in a directory in your

`load-path`, and add the line:

    (require 'translate-shell)

to your Emacs initialization file.

## Usage

You can call `translate-shell-brief` and `translate-shell` to get the

definition your query word. The result will display in echo area and

"*Translate Shell*" buffer. You might want to bind them to some keys.

## Cache

The result returned from `trans` (the translate-shell command-line program)

are stored in the `translate-shell-brief-cache` and `translate-shell-cache`

variable.

If you want to use cache even after restarting Emacs, you need tt save these

two variable yourself. An easy solution is using `desktop.el`, see below.

## Customization

Below is my customization around this package:

```elisp

(use-package desktop                    ; Save buffers, windows and frames

  :init (desktop-save-mode)

  :config

  (add-to-list 'desktop-globals-to-save 'translate-shell-cache)

  (add-to-list 'desktop-globals-to-save 'translate-shell-brief-cache))

(use-package translate-shell

  :load-path "~/wip/translate-shell.el"

  :bind (("C-c s"   . translate-shell-brief)

         ("C-c S"   . translate-shell))

  :config

  ;;  is blocked in China for no apparent

  ;; reason. No one ever asked my option.

  (setq translate-shell-command "proxychains4 -q trans -t en %s"

        translate-shell-brief-command "proxychains4 -q trans -brief -t zh %s"))

```
