description

This is a handy utility to translate text from Japanese to English and vice versa. It uses the excite.co.jp services to translate the text then displays the result in the standard output. sadict was created to be integrated with vim and mutt , If you add the following lines into your ~/.vimrc vmap j :w! /tmp/.vim.msg.en<cr>:!sadic -j  < /tmp/.vim.msg.en<cr> vmap ,j :w! /tmp/.vim.msg.en<cr><esc>`>o<cr><esc>:r !sadic -j < /tmp/.vim.msg.en<cr> vmap e :w! /tmp/.vim.msg.jp<cr>:!sadic < /tmp/.msg.jp<cr> vmap ,e :w! /tmp/.vim.msg.jp<cr><esc>`>o<cr><esc>:r !sadic < /tmp/.vim.msg.jp<cr> Then you can visually select a text region (by pressing Shift-V then moving the cursor), then when you press "j" , the text will be translated from English to Japanese. ",j" translates the text from english to Japanese then appends the result (japanese text) right after the visually selection region. The "e" and ",e" mappings do the same thing except that they translate text from Japanese to English. For Mutt , you can add the following into your .muttrc macro pager   j          "v\n| nkf -e | sadic -j | less \nq<left>" macro pager   e         "v\n| nkf -e | sadic  | less \nq<left>" Then , while viewing your e-mails , you can press "j" to translate from English to Japanese. and "e" to translate from Japanese to English.
