Translate with alias

Hello!

For those of us who do not know English and throw a lot of Google Translate...

• Install translate-shell

brew install translate-shell

• Add alias in .bash_profile or .zshrc

Note: The parameter: is the language, try to put different and obtain more results (example :en)

alias trad="trans :es "$(pbpaste)" -b | pbcopy"

Now when we want to translate what we have on the clipboard, we simply put trad in the terminal and we will have it copied

Update: I leave the file for Raycast, in case you want to use it with a combination of keys. I have based on this script (link)

 #!/bin/bash # Dependency: requires translate-shell # Install with Homebrew: `brew install translate-shell` # Required parameters: # @raycast.schemaVersion 1 # @raycast.title Traducir # @raycast.mode silent # @raycast.packageName Translate clipboard # Documentation: # @raycast.author josexs # @raycast.authorURL https://github.com/josexs # @raycast.description Translate to ES and copy text of clipboard. if ! command -v trans &> /dev/null; then echo "trans command is required (https://github.com/soimort/translate-shell)."; exit 1; fi trans :es "$(pbpaste)" -b | pbcopy 

See you with more tips!
