Program for DeepL use: AmiTranslate 0.2
Marcus 'ALB42' Sackrow's programme AmiTranslate (video) serves as a link to the translation service DeepL and is available for AmigaOS, AmigaOS 4, AROS (x86, x64, ARM) and MorphOS.
In version 0.2 some bugs have been fixed: the scrollbars for the text edits now work and pdf documents do now care about returns or line wrap. Additionally, an user suggestion was implemented: a context menu for both edits to copy and paste text.
Besides an SSL-secured internet connection (OpenSSL3 under MorphOS resp. AmiSSL for the other systems) the program also needs the MUI class texteditor.mcc.
