Test build of dooble with qt5

[Martin Iturbide]

Thanks Dave. Sorry for missing that one.

Hi Dave, thinking to upgrade older working version, could just the Dooble.exe file be replaced by the one in this rpm, or the entire package would have to be upgraded (or reinstalled) ?
Thank you

[Dave Yeo]

I think just updating the binary should work.

For David McKenna, who made a feature request upstream for "translate this page", which doesn't seem to work here.

[Dave Yeo]

OK, it needs DOOBLE_GOOGLE_TRANSLATE_URL set. For now I'm using dooble.sh with modifications (added .exe) to launch and it mostly works giving a quick test.
Remove the .txt from the attached dooble.sh.txt and launch in the same directory as Dooble.exe is in as "sh dooble.sh" without the quotes.

Thanks Dave! I gave it a quick try after using your 'sh' script and the 'translate page' appears in the tools list, but I couldn't get it to work at os2.org (which is what made me think to ask in the first place). I get a message saying the topic can't be found - so maybe a problem with the GOOGLE_TRANSLATE_URL? I'll give it a more thorough test later today after work.

Why do we need that script? Is that something that can be built in? If I don't use it the translate page tool is greyed out. Maybe I can add stuff to the 'Environment' tab in the properties folder?...

Regards,

Hi David, cmd.exe's SET command seems to be lacking compared to sh and export. Good news is that using this (all one line),

Code: [Select]

DOOBLE_GOOGLE_TRANSLATE_URL=https://%1.translate.goog/%2?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=%3&_x_tr_hl=%3&_x_tr_pto=wapp
in the environment tab of Dooble's program object does work.
Wonder how that can be automated? Or pass the URL in a set statement?
As for os2.org, which was my test URL, it does work, load os2.org, click Tools-->Translate, then in the new translated tab, click the topic works here. Not as nice as SeaMonkey.

[David McKenna]

 Hey Dave,

 Ah.. I added that line to my 'Environment' tab, then loaded 'www.os2.org' and clicked on the translate tool, and indeed, translation works and I can navigate the site thru the google translation page - thanks for that!

 What I was doing before (using your script) was going to www.os2.org, then clicking on a forum, then clicking the translate tool, and getting the error mentioned - and in fact if I do that with the environment variable set as above it does the same thing.

 So is there some deficiency in the translate environment variable? Why does it only work on the root of the website I wonder? Can you verify?

Regards,

EDIT: just tried it in SeaMonkey and it works fine there - no matter where you are in os2.org, if you choose translate, it works...

[Dave Yeo]

I get the same behaviour when clicking a forum then translate. I think it is using the translated URL instead of the original, or at least messing up the URL.
Note that in the environmental variable, I believe the %1,%2,%3 are arguments, yes, host, path and locale (using QLocale)
I assume that SeaMonkey has a different implementation of the translate thingy. The URL setting from about:config,

Code: [Select]

browser.translation.service;http://translate.google.com/translate?prev=/language_tools&u=which should be https now.

 Hey Dave,

 I went to textbrowser's github site to make a comment about this, and I saw an entry was made to the Dooble code yesterday that might affect this - did you include the last entry to Dooble in your build?

Regards,

I did now, seems to not need the environment variable set anymore, though I think it is still optional.
Removed last build in favour of this one.

[David McKenna]

 Thanks again Dave! No change in behavior though... only works in root of website. I'll probably make a comment to textbrowser... didn't want to do it if there might have already been a fix.

Regards,

[Dave Yeo]

Yea, the last commit just added the URL that we were using in the environmental variable. Still simplifies things

Hey Dave,
I have installed your last update of dooble file: Dooble_20112023.7z and tested it, this is my impression:
after a lots of test with vary url I have noted this strange behaviour, if I use the new google to translate a page, this page is rendered in two different way that I attach as two picture captured using PMVIEW:
- 2023-11-captured002.jpg   original         without image
- 2023-11-Captured001.jpg  processed by GOOGLE translate    with image 
How this can happen ?
Thank for your work Dave.
