- What the @#$% is BabelDoc ?
-
- BabelDoc is a program which allows you to translate documents or text strings
- from one language to another via AltaVista's translation services. It can be
- launched from the WorkBench or CLI. If no parameters are given from CLI,
- BabelDoc will behave the same as if launched from the WorkBench. Ther are 3
- input modes and they are as follows:-
-
- text: Intended for one line texts since a carraige return will close the
- string requestor. In CLI you may also enter text directly after the
- `text' parameter if you wish.
- kcon: Allows you to enter or paste up to 3500 characters and will output
- to a KingCON console and word wrap to your screen size. Refer to
- KingCON documentation for its usage.
- file: Allows you convert a text file(s) of unlimited size. In CLI you may
- also specify a file name after the `file' parameter if you wish.
- The output file will be word wrapped to 76 characters in length and
- will have the same name with a language extension added to it.
- eg. #?.English
-
-
- WorkBench usage is fairly straight forward and CLI usage is as follows:-
-
-
- Usage:- BabelDoc <language> <text/kcon/file>
-
- Languages:-
- en_fr = English to French
- en_de = English to German
- en_it = English to Italian
- en_pt = English to Portuguese
- en_es = English to Spanish
- fr_en = French to English
- de_en = German to English
- it_en = Italian to English
- pt_en = Portuguese to English
- es_en = Spanish to English
- de_fr = German to French
- fr_de = French to German
- ru_en = Russian to English
- en_ja = English to Japanese
- en_ko = English to Korean
- en_zh = English to Chinese
- ja_en = Japanese to English
- ko_en = Korean to English
- zh_en = Chinese to English
-
-
- eg. BabelDoc en_fr text

-
- NB: 1. This program requires a TCP/IP stack which supports TCP: device such
- as miami or genisis.
-
- 2. Asian & Russian languages have not been looked at. For support of
- these languages suggestions on how to interpret the text codes & what
- readers to use would be welcome.

- me with some assistance in writing this program.
