Translate straight out of external applications
Just Translate expands the contextual menu of nearly any Mac applications. This gives you the power to translate text while working in other programs. For this the application must support the Apple Service concept.
To translate text directly out of an external application:
- Select the text you want to translate.
- Activate the contextual menu by pressing the right mouse button or - if you own an single button mouse - press
the control key and then the mouse button.
- Pick the menu item "Just Translate...".
or if the application doesn't support contextual menu extensions
- Select the text you want to translate.
- Open the Application menu and from the menu Services choose the item "Just Translate..."
Note: Users of OS X 10.6 or later, first have to explicitly enable the translation service.
