Display the translated text in a dialog window

[windirt]

Thank you for making such a good plug-in, it is really fast, but when a large amount of text is translated at once, the content displayed will be particularly long, even beyond the width of the screen, I tried to make some changes on the codes via applescript to display a dialog window. I am not very familiar with the php language. The syntax may be wrong, but basically there is not much problem. Hope you can understand my intention and add it to the new version.

known issue: If there are double quotes in the translated text, the output will be empty, I don’t know how to deal with this issue.

below is the sample of dialog window and code

  $result = array_reduce($json[0], function($carry, $item) {
   if (isset($item[0])) {
     $carry .= $item[0];
     return $carry;
   }
  }, '');
  $cmd = "/usr/bin/osascript -e \"display dialog \\\" {$result} \\\"\"";
  exec($cmd);
  echo " ";

Thank you so much for the idea. I will investigate soon!

Hey @windirt.
I fixed the double quotes problem, and changed a little bit the dialog.
But I can't disable loading spinner (seem like PopClip doesn't support for the actual long running).
You can check out this branch and I hope you like it!

Thanks for the new commit. the plug-in is working as I desire now.
About the spiner, it seems Popclip was waiting a POSIX output.
Then I added the code at the end. it will display translated text via old method. This code can save the translated content to the clipboard.

echo $result

If you can process the applescript and echo commands at the same time through an asynchronous thread, there should be no problem with the spiner.

After consulting the development documentation of Popclip, I found that after changing the show-result in config.plist to copy-result (requires restarting Popclip), I can avoid the embarrassing scene of the translated text appearing again, and can also copy the text to the clipboard.
