vscode-faraj README

This an expirmental/personal, vscode extension, you can use at your own risk, so far it has the following features:

• Translate selected text to Arabic or English.

Installation/Rquirments

  • outputs vscode-faraj-0.0.2.vsix file

• Install as file code --install-extension vscode-faraj-0.0.2.vsix

Configuration

faraj.libratranslateHost and libratranslatePort, according to where libratranslate is running. e.g libratranslate --host 192.168.1.5 --port 5555; Then 192.168.1.5, and 5555 would crosspond to the host and port respectively.

faraj.insertAfter default true, if false, the selected text would be replaced with tranlsation. I opted to make it on, because I assume one mostly need to adjust translated text, would need to compare with orignal then.

Usage

Just select any text in any file, then open command pallet, search for, Translate the selected...etc.

Limitaion
