Sadly, I have been away and don't have a chunk of time enough.
If someone is willing to contribute into Swift & Safari App Extension impl., it would be much appreciated! ☺️

The current code base is placed on mas branch.

I think it's fairly low priority until Safari Extension gallery source is retired (WWDC/June? Public/October?

[uetchy]

Finally. About to ship this month.

[uetchy]

Upcoming dark/light mode and vibrancy support.

Pre-release version is out!
Leave a comment if you find a glitch.

Great work!

A few issues...

1. I am seeing bad encoding on translated result when set to Auto Detect:

http://www.katch.ne.jp/~guts-2t86/game6.html

http://sekaiyugi.com/games/hanafuda-1.html

If I set Source Language to Japanese, display works OK:

2. BUT... translated text seems incorrect? seems to be coming from a source that is not the selected text or current window?

Compare Polyglot 2.6.0

[gingerbeardman]

3. there is no way to bring Polyglot.app window back if it is closed using red dot. This will result in failed MAS submission in my experience with other Safari App Extensions.

Recommended solution: quit app on window close.

@gingerbeardman Thank you for the super fast review!
Just fixed the Unicode related issue and updated pre-release tag. It should work now.

Recommended solution: quit app on window close.

Added to ToDo

[gingerbeardman]

Good Job!

[gingerbeardman]

Added to ToDo

AppDelegate.swift:

func applicationShouldTerminateAfterLastWindowClosed(_ sender: NSApplication) -> Bool {
    return true
}

edit: ah, you already did it!

[gingerbeardman]

Problem reading text over dark background.

Workaround is to select translated text

[uetchy]

@gingerbeardman put more opacity on the panel. try the latest build and see if the issue is fixed.

[uetchy]

The latest build contains "synonyms" feature that displays related words during single word lookups.

[gingerbeardman]

Even better than ever!

[gingerbeardman]

Possible to catch some of the outstanding issues? Such as #29

[gingerbeardman]

Synonym feature display seems small for me?

[uetchy]

I won't fix #29 in this release because there are some difficulties lying down (e.g. difficulties on precise language detection and false negatives)

[uetchy]

new build includes fixes on the font-size issue.
