Advanced tools
Cross-platform TUI for translating text in multiple translators simultaneously, with support for translation history and automatic language detection.
A terminal user interface (TUI) based on the Blessed library for simultaneous text translation using multiple translation sources. All sources do not require an access token or other settings. Supports automatic source and target language definition at code level between English and any of the supported languages, as well as access to translation history via SQLite (up to 500 queries, after which the old values from history are automatically cleared).
⚠ Reverso does not support working via Axios (error:
Invalid header value char
), Fetch is used instead.

The Blessed library is outdated (no longer supported) and has a number of technical limitations, such as not being able to navigate the cursor in the input field. For this reason, a mechanism for managing input text via text buffer has been implemented, which allows using a custom cursor for navigation using keyboard arrows and automatic scrolling for swiping.
If you plan to use this library for similar tasks where text input is required, then add class TextBuffer
and control of keypress
shortcuts to your code via inputBox.on()
.
