Qtranslate linux alternatives?

Question

In Windows with Qtranslate you can select text from any program(ebook reader, pdf, doc etc.), press some shortkey and translate it. Are there any alternatives for Ubuntu/Linux? There a lot of extensions(like S3.Translator for Firefox) but they just translate something that's in the browser's tab.

Solution 1

I was also using Qtranslate when i was on Windows and missed it after switching to Linux. So i made a simple application for my own need. Hope it can help you too: https://github.com/yasirtug/ni-translate

Solution 2

I got this solved by using Vivaldi Browser, it's a very handy one with many customizable features (including translating selection).

I set a shortcut to translation from the settings, and now it's almost the same experience of that with QTranslate.
