Re: Translate LyX document to another language
It's next to impossible, like trying to dictate into LyX. Never mind that automatic translations, while more or less reasonable to good, are never perfect. There is just no substitute for professional translation. el On 21/02/2023 22:49, Paul Smith wrote: > Thanks, Dr Eberhard W Lisse.

Re: Translate LyX document to another language
Thanks, Dr Eberhard W Lisse. The idea is to get a LyX file as the result, but I understand it is something very difficult to achieve.

Re: Translate LyX document to another language
And the result must be a LyX file? I doubt that this is possible. You can always export to text and have that translated. el On 21/02/2023 11:01, Paul Smith wrote: > Dear All, > > Is there some way of automatically translating a LyX document, say, > from Spanish to English? > > I have come across GoogleTranslate4LyX: > > https://wiki.lyx.org/Tools/GoogleTranslate4LyX > > However, since an intermediate step involves conversion to HTML files, > I am a bit skeptical about the quality of the result. > > Thanks in advance, > > Paul -- lyx-users mailing list lyx-users@lists.lyx.org http://lists.lyx.org/mailman/listinfo/lyx-users

Thanks, Pavel, for the ideas you have suggested. As soon as I have some spare time, I will try to implement them in Python.

But if you are coder I can see that within couple hours you might come up with a script which does something along these lines: 1) copy paragraph which is selected in lyx into text file 2) seend it to DeepL API via curl 3) receive the response 4) paste it back into document Special formatting, equations/ images etc will be gone in this transformation. But having in LyX some better handling of such exchange for external services would be useful.

Thanks, Lorenzo. The difficulty is really to skip LyX's keywords! Paul -- lyx-users mailing list lyx-users@lists.lyx.org http://lists.lyx.org/mailman/listinfo/lyx-users

Dear All, Is there some way of automatically translating a LyX document, say, from Spanish to English? I have come across GoogleTranslate4LyX: https://wiki.lyx.org/Tools/GoogleTranslate4LyX However, since an intermediate step involves conversion to HTML files, I am a bit skeptical about the quality of the result.
