Adding Dictionary feature

[SiddharthKalson]

Like if i select a text it pulls its meaning and translation in a small window like it does for reference, don't want to go out of the program to look for a term everytime. Like somthing similar to a Kindle ereader.

I agree, that would be amazing!

there is python script to do so , for your reference

# import sys
# from googletrans import Translator

# from .sioyek import Sioyek, clean_path
# import pyperclip


# if __name__ == '__main__':
#     sioyek_path = clean_path(sys.argv[1])
#     text = sys.argv[2]
#     sioyek = Sioyek(sioyek_path)
#     translator = Translator()
#     # translation = translator.translate(text, dest='en')
#     translation = translator.translate(text, dest='zh-cn')  # Translate to Simplified Chinese first
#     translation = translator.translate(translation.text, dest='zh-tw')  # Translate to Traditional Chinese
#     sioyek.set_status_string(translation.text)

#      # Copy the translated text to the clipboard
#     pyperclip.copy(translated.text)

import sys

import pyperclip

from .sioyek import Sioyek, clean_path

if __name__ == '__main__':
    sioyek_path = clean_path(sys.argv[1])
    text = sys.argv[2]
    sioyek = Sioyek(sioyek_path)
    translator = Translator()
    translation = translator.translate(text, dest='zh-cn')  # Translate to Simplified Chinese first
    translation = translator.translate(translation.text, dest='zh-tw')  # Translate to Traditional Chinese
    translated_text = translation.text
    sioyek.set_status_string(translated_text)

    # Copy the translated text to the clipboard
    pyperclip.copy(translated_text)
