I was dreaming to build an QTranslate alternative for Linux, found your app, thanks. After installing dependency, excuted these commands one by one in ni-translate folder:

qmake ni-translate.pro -spec linux-g++
make

Now I have these files: screenshot_2019-02-18_18-20-57 What should I do for run the app? I'm on Xubuntu 18.10.

I thinks it will be more usefull if you provide more detailed guide for installing and running the app.

Hello, now run sudo ./ni-translate from that folder. Please write if it will work. Thanks for the feedback btw, i will try to improve the guide.

:sweat_smile: After creating this issue found how to run it, I went back here and saw you responded to it, so quick :rocket: Yes it works well, I set Scroll Lock button for hire it. It will be awesome if you add some features when you have free time.
