Requires "--no-sandbox" switch to run as root, so run it from a terminal with that switch or write a little script to run it.

It's based on Google Translate. Are snaps something like .sfs?

From what I've gathered, snaps are sort of like .sfs's but they require their own software to use them. It might be possible to adapt them to puppy, but it would be a major effort.
The appimage works in Debian Dog as root if you run it from the terminal and add "--no-sandbox", then say "Yes" to the first dialog and it will create a .desktop file in /usr/local/share/applications. The open that and add "--no-sandbox" to the exec line and terminal=true.
This is the .desktop file I ended up with.
Code: Select all

Hello labbe5 and all,
Please note that for translations from / to French, English, German, Spanish,
Portuguese, Italian, Nederlander, Polish or Russian,
DeepL Translator is
better than Google Translate.
BFN.

Thanks musher0! Good hint.
First try outs look very nice.
I will try it out and compare it to the other one.

I think this is the required tool:
snapd_2.21-2+b1 is in the Dpup Stretch PPM, "Tool to interact with Ubuntu Core Snappy"

On November 7th, 2018, Translatium was removed from sale because the unofficial Google Translate APIs the app relied on were partially blocked by Google. In August 2019, we managed to bring the app back to life using legitimate APIs from other providers. While this decision allows the app to continue operating, it also forces us to remove certain features from the app. Still, we will try to add these features back in the future if possible.
I would guess that Quang Lam has his origin in the far eastern country that mr. Trump dislikes doing business with...
Another translator is
https://www.deepl.com/Translator Very fast, more exact than Google.
