A DeepL.com client which uses rofi for user input.

• Translate text using the Deepl API
• Multiple options for translation (not supported by API)
• Suggest translations as you type

• Software
  • libnotify
  • curl
  • jq
  • xclip
• Extra
  • A DeepL API key, both free and pro edition will work (see configuration).

git clone https://github.com/reyniersbram/rofi-deepl
cd rofi-deepl
sudo make install

The following format is used: SOURCE_LANG:TARGET_LANG:input. So for example, to translate translator from English to Dutch, you would write EN:NL:translator. Translating complete sentences or multiple words is supported. When the DeepL API returns a translation, the translation will be send as a notification and it will be copied to the clipboard.

When only input is provided, the default source and target language will be used (see configuration).

Configuration is done in .config/rofi-deepl/rofi-deepl.conf. This is just a shell script sourced by the program where some environment variables are set. A sample configuration file is provided in /etc/rofi-deepl.conf with some default options.
Following options are available:

DEEPL_API_KEY # Your personal DeepL API key
DEEPL_API_BASE # The base url for the API
ROFI_DEEPL_DATA_DIR # Location of some data files like the history
SRC_LANG_DEFAULT # Default source language
TARGET_LANG_DEFAULT # Default target language

The logo used for notifications is the official DeepL logo. It was extracted from the official press brand assets. I am not sure if I am allowed to use it like this. Please contact me if you have any feedback on this usage.
