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.
There 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.
See "Babelfish.lha" on the aminet for related interest, which also provided
me with some assistance in writing this program.
