This workflow is fantastic! I use it every day. The only snag is that sometimes I really need to go to the actual Google Translate website -- usually, because I want to listen to the audio for a translation. What would it take to build that in, so that, say, hitting the 'option' key would take you to the same query on Google instead of copying to clipboard?

Thanks for the nice words and for using the workflow! :)

Your idea is actually really great and I thought about that too a few times. I will look into this and see how it can be done.

aeonaut commented 10 years ago

Thanks! Can't wait to see what you come up with.

Hi aeonaut,

the new feature is ready. Just use the workflow as usual like and pressAlt+Enter in order to open the request on the Google website. Please, let me know if that works so I can close this issue.

Thanks again for the idea and best wishes, Thomas

Awesome! Now that's what I call customer service. Just tried it out and it works like a charm! Can't thank you enough, Thomas -- you rock!

My pleasure! :-)

aeonaut commented 10 years ago

Whoops -- we might need to reopen that, briefly. The normal 'copy to clipboard' function now escapes spaces in the output, e.g. "four\ score\ and\ seven\ years\ ago" -- I don't think that happened before this update. Other than that, works great.
