v1.0.2

This release is mostly bookkeeping. New installations get qtr as the default keyword, and the install dialog finally speaks English. If you already configured your keyword, nothing changes for you.

Improvements

• Default keyword changed to qtr: New installations now use qtr as the default keyword. Existing users keep whatever they configured. The change aligns with Alfred Gallery guidelines, which require three characters or more.
• English install dialog and configuration: The workflow description, install-time readme, and language config labels shown in Alfred are now in English. Runtime strings (error messages, autocorrect prompt, dictionary part-of-speech labels) stay in German as before.

v1.0.1

Turns out shipping the first release with the install dialog still in German and the website field set to nothing is not the greatest first impression. Both are fixed. The workflow itself still does the same thing it did eleven minutes ago.

Improvements

• Install dialog metadata: Alfred's workflow install dialog now links to the GitHub repository instead of showing "No Website", and the workflow description shown during install is in English to match the rest of the documentation.

v1.0.0

Alfred learned a new trick. Paste anything from a shopping list to a foreign street sign and the workflow figures out which language you typed, which direction you meant, and whether you fat-fingered the input along the way. Single words show up with a dictionary on the side.

What's New

• Auto language detection: The workflow detects the input language automatically across 130+ supported languages, so there is no manual direction to set.
• Smart bidirectional mode: Text in your primary language goes to your target language; anything else comes back to your primary language.
• Dictionary entries for single words: Single-word queries show additional entries grouped by word class (noun, verb, adjective, and so on) with synonyms.
• Alternative translations: Multiple top translations appear as separate Alfred results instead of only the best guess.
• Transliteration for non-Latin scripts: Romanized pronunciation is shown below the main translation for languages like Japanese, Korean, Arabic, or Hindi.
• Autocorrect: Typos are caught and a corrected version is offered at the top of the results before translating.
• Parallel requests: Both translation directions run at once, so response time stays constant regardless of which language you typed in.
• Configurable languages and keyword: Primary language, target language, and the Alfred keyword can be set in the workflow config (defaults to German to English with keyword t).
