Currently Lingva is down and we can't use your app.

It would be very great if your app could evolve to a translator which can use many translation engines. For example, I like very much using https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.bnyro.translate/ with an another android AOSP smartphone.

Why

Lingva API seems to now support word definitions. Since often words don't have exact analogs, this feature can add much-needed context to the translation result.

Example: https://lingva.ml/api/v1/auto/uk/hi

Design

I'm not sure yet how to integrate this feature into this app. Maybe I should follow the Unix Philosophy and make a dedicated dictionary app. This feature might require significant changes to the UI, so I need to make sure enough people want it.

Always good to have a good translator who respects privacy. Thank you.
It seems to me that the priority is to make the translation copyable (partially, fully) and therefore pasteable so that it is fully functional and useful.

• Partial
• Full copy

I think a one-step mechanism (button, swipe of a finger..) to completely reset the window containing the text to be translated would be useful.
Currently, the total deletion of a text, whether translated or not, requires several manipulations.

Wanting to include an https link in a translation (wish it could be included), I thought that was the one blocking the translation. But in fact it is only the slash character / which blocks the translation. You can test by putting a slash at any place in a sentence.

A workaround is to substitute the slash character by another to allow translation, for example the backslash \ 🙂

This bug doen't exist on the online app https://lingva.ml/

I just downloaded version 1.2.4 (what's new inside ?) and version 1.0.0 is still mentioned in 'About'.

The API wrapper is already implemented, but Qt has no default way to play the received WAV file from JSON. Is there a way to do it in C++?

Focal support, wish this for This very useful app.
