A modern cross-platform desktop translation application built with Tauri and Angular. Translate text between 15 languages instantly with a clean, responsive interface powered by translate-shell.
- 🚀 Real-time Translation: Instant translation as you type with a built-in 500ms debounce to optimize performance.
- 🌍 15 Languages Supported: English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Arabic, Hindi, Dutch, Polish, and Turkish.
- 🌓 Dark/Light Mode: Automatic and manual toggle between dark and light themes for a comfortable viewing experience.
- 🔄 Language Swap: One-click button to quickly swap between source and target languages.
- 📋 Clipboard Integration: Copy your translations to the clipboard instantly with dedicated UI feedback.
- ⌨️ Keyboard Shortcuts: Support for
Ctrl+Enter(orCmd+Enter) to force a translation immediately. - 📱 Cross-Platform: Native support for Linux, macOS, Windows, and experimental support for Android.
- Frontend: Angular v21 (Standalone Components, Signals)
- Backend: Tauri v2 (Rust)
- Engine: translate-shell (
transCLI) - Styling: TailwindCSS v4
- Package Manager: Bun
First make sure you have Node.js installed. To do this, open a command prompt or terminal and type the following commands:
node -vnpm -vIf you are using the bun package manager, then run this command:
bun -vAfter that, go to the folder with this project and run the following command:
npm installIf you are using the bun package manager, then run this command:
bun installIn order to run a Rust application, you need to make sure that you have a compiler for Rust. To find out if you have one, enter the following command:
rustc --versionIf you get an error instead of a version, it means that you don't have a Rust compiler. In order to set it up, go to the official website and follow the instructions on the website.
- Ubuntu/Debian:
sudo apt-get install translate-shell - macOS:
brew install translate-shell - Arch Linux:
sudo pacman -S translate-shell
After installing the dependencies, use the following command to run, depending on the package manager you are using:
npm run tauri devOr
bun run tauri devThis project includes optimizations to reduce build times and ensure high performance:
Use the optimized build scripts that only rebuild components when source files have changed:
# Build desktop application (only rebuilds if files changed)
bun run build:smart
# Build for Android
bun run build:smart:android
# Clean build artifacts
bun run build:clean- Incremental Compilation: Rust code uses incremental compilation to avoid recompiling unchanged code.
- Smart Frontend Building: Frontend is only rebuilt when source files change.
- Modern Frontend Features: Utilizes Angular v21 Signals and Control Flow for optimized change detection and performance.
- Rust Backend Performance: Spawns asynchronous tasks to execute the
transcommand, ensuring the UI remains responsive during translations.
