This allows you to enter text in a language you know, while the field gets the translated text. Useful when interacting with websites or agents in a foreign language.
Find a demonstration of iBus in action on LibreOffice below:
The functionality will work in any GUI application which requests keyboard-input - browser, text-editors, mail-clients, chat clients etc.
Setup currently requires some technical expertise. There are setup-instructions here.

This repository was formerly a sandbox used to build proof-of-concept applications of bergamot-translator outside the official deliverables. Python bindings have been moved to upstream bergamot-translator. What remains here is ibus-engine.

This application was made possible through the combined effort of all researchers and partners in the Bergamot project. The translation models are prepared as part of the Bergamot project. The translation engine used is slimt which is an inference slice using only one class of models within is based on marian.
