JcTranslator Version 2.0

February 2016, by Crovy

JcTranslator is a software that allows you to use portals for online translations. In particular relies on Google. We say, but could not directly use the portal Google? Yes, but in this product was the automated translation feature, in fact, the document that you want to translate, and active program, just select the text or phrase to be translated and press CTRL-C (copy) to start the translation of selected text, there is also an option which automatically copy of the translated text in the clipboard so that we simply press the CTRL-V (paste) to have the text translated in our document.

For this program is not received any installation process, simply extract the files and run the file jar.

Since screenshot of the programme you can see how it's all very simple. The check box "paste" is the one that enables the automatic copy of the translated text in the clipboard system, but only if the program is running and not reduced to icon. The language of the text to be translated and translated text is selected by the combo box, the combinations are those permitted by the portal used and if they were to implement the new you can add them in the file "JcTranslator.props".
