Menu TT -> Other triggers. It opens a file with examples.
In that file add this somewhere inside the class:
[ Triggers]
void KeyboardHookTriggers () {
WindowsHook . Keyboard ( k => {
var a = _lastKeys ??= new ();
if ( a . Count > 15 ) a . RemoveAt( a . Count - 1 );
a . Insert( 0 , new ( k . IsUp , k . Key , k . Mod , k . vkCode , k . scanCode , k . IsExtended , k . IsInjected , k . IsAlt , k . time ));
//trigger LCtrl*2
if ( k . vkCode == KKey . LCtrl ) {
if ( k . IsUp && a . Count >= 4 && a [ 1 ] . vkCode == k . vkCode && ! a [ 1 ] . isUp && a [ 2 ] . vkCode == k . vkCode && a [ 2 ] . isUp && a [ 3 ] . vkCode == k . vkCode && ! a [ 3 ] . isUp && a [ 1 ] . time - a [ 3 ] . time < 500 && ( a . Count == 4 || a [ 4 ] . vkCode != k . vkCode || a [ 3 ] . time - a [ 4 ] . time > 500 )) {
//print.it("LCtrl*2");
script . run ( "Translate UI element text.cs" );
}
}
//Add other triggers here.
// To block the key event: k.BlockEvent();
//Note: this function must be as fast as possible. Slow code here will make kayboard input slow.
// If need slow code, put it in other script or thread, and here just start the script or thread.
});
}
record _KeyEvent ( bool isUp , KKey key , KMod mod , KKey vkCode , uint scanCode , bool isExtended , bool isInjected , bool isAlt , int time );
List < _KeyEvent > _lastKeys ; //max 16 previous key events, starting from the most recent, including current event

Now QTranslate can translate UI elements too. Older versions translated only through Ctrl+C. But it has high-DPI problems.

QTranslate It will pop up, which is not very convenient

It's a bit strange, some pages on the forum can't be used by Google Translate. The translation did not take effect

Tested, translates that forum page. Maybe depends on language, I don't know.

Don't know. I translate to Lithuanian and it works.
Maybe browser caching problems. Try to hard-reload the page (Ctrl+F5).

Just want to throw a thank you to Gintaras, this script is so useful to me. Saved a lot of time to google translate and OCR.
Hi Gintaras, Can this script be complied to an exe? I think my friend will definitely love it. It's so useful and powerful.

Hi Gintaras, I have tried to import the new code but it seems there was an error occurs. There is only one file in the folder which is named "Translate UI element text.cs", I think the other two were missed. Please have a look into the code. Thanks

Hi Gintaras, Could you please add a drop-down list to select source language and target language? It would be very helpful and flexible that way. Now I have to compile several different versions of exe? Thanks!

My network does not allow access to Google services. Can you add the Bing and OpenAI translation engines from the following link? Thank you.
