This is a free unofficial Java desktop client based on Google Translate service.

It uses google-translate-api-v2-java library for the main engine, which uses the Google Translate API v2.

Note: The application requires Java (JDK or JRE) 1.6 or later.

What's new?

Version 0.7

Improved files support:

• As before, dragging files to the "Text to translate" will place the files' content.
• Ctrl + dragging will place the files as objects and hitting Translate will translate and save them as files. A special consideration when translating subtitles (SRT) files - only the real text lines are sent for translation (without the index and time lines).
• Shift + dragging will place the file name.
• You can drag multiple files at once!

 Issue 12 : Adding global hot keys:

• Use a global hot key to pop up the Google Translate Desktop or even to translate without any interruption!
• Windows 32bit and 64bit support (using http://melloware.com/products/jintellitype/)
• Linux support (using http://sourceforge.net/projects/jxgrabkey/)

Fix "check for updates" wasn't working if application path contained white spaces.
