LATEST NEWS [4/29/2005]: These pages have just moved to a NEW SERVER. The site might be under construction for some time.
LATEST NEWS [1/23/2004]: Attention Windows XP Users: The Windows .EXE for Pythoñol/PyBabelPhish does NOT run on Windows XP. However, it's known to run on Win98/95. So, XP users are just out of luck. Do NOT report this as a 'bug': the 'bug' is XP impersonating an operating system.

PyBabelPhish

PyBabelPhish is a simple Gtk-based frontend for several translation services available on the web. Through the use of these services, PyBabelPhish is able to provide full-text translations (full sentences, phrases, etc.). PyBabelPhish is written in 100% Python, does NOT require Gnome, but requires Gtk+ and PyGtk. Some languages have been removed from the list due to an inability to display certain foreign characters (especially Asian character sets). I am hopeful that support for Asian languages will be available in the future. PyBabelPhish is in NO way affiliated with or endorsed by the web-based translation services it accesses and should NOT be considered 'official' software from these companies. NO support is provided for PyBabelPhish. This software is free and open source under the Free Education Initiative License.

PyBabelPhish currently supports translation retrieval from the following online translation services: Google, Altavista - Babelfish, SysTranBox, Lingua-Phile, FreeTranslations, interNOSTRUM, Reverso, and Traductor Universia.

PyBabelPhish is written in 100% Python and, therefore, requires NO COMPILING to fully function.

NEW IN PYBABELPHISH VERSION 2.1:
Major Bug Fix: Fixed a bug where the application might refuse to retrieve translations when running on non-Linux/Unix systems such as Windows and Mac OS X. User interface improvements: Gtk stock icons have been added to all buttons, dialogs, and menus. The language selection menu is now wider, for easier reading. The 'set_usize' call for the window size has been removed, as it may have caused problems for some users. All translations services have been re-checked (all are known to be still working properly). Theme support added: Click 'File'-> 'Settings...' on the menu to manage the theme and font; This makes it easier for Windows and Mac OS X users to manage the appearance of PyBabelPhish, and users of all operating systems can simply copy or link their favorite Gtk-2 themes into the ./theme/gtk/ subdirectory. (Many themes require 'theme engines'; these are already included in the Windows .exe binary, and other users can easily find and compile them for their system.) PyBabelPhish now applys themes on ALL operating systems, not just Windows/non-Linux systems. PyBabelPhish is now known to run on the Mac OS X operating system, and a new Windows .exe is available for this release (bundled with Pythonol). External pixmaps have been removed from the Spanish Letters Toolbar (regular character Labels are now used), and a new 'Clear All Text' button has been added to the toolbar which clears all the text from the associated text entry or text box. Bug Fix: Encoding specifications have been added to all python modules to prevent the warning on the console about 'unknown encoding' when running Pythonol on Python version 2.3. The copyright and about box has been updated to accomodate the New Year.


Every copy of Pythoñol comes with an embedded version of PyBabelPhish (known as the 'Translate' module within Pythoñol). However, standalone versions of PyBabelPhish are also available for Linux/Unix, Windows, and any platform capable of running Python 2.2 or higher, Gtk+ (version 2.0.0 or better), and PyGtk-2 (version 1.99/2.00 or better required). Nevertheless, PyBabelPhish was designed for LINUX/UNIX, with Linux/Unix interests in mind first. See the
PyBabelPhish Help File if you need help on using PyBabelPhish.
