Opening English Text from Clipboard in Your Browser Using DeepL and Alfred

I use DeepL on a daily basis, but the standard DeepL application doesn't allow you to save search results. I wanted various additional features, so I created an Alfred workflow that uses the DeepL API to display Japanese translations of English text from the clipboard in a browser. (I know I could just pay for the DeepL Pro version to use it in a browser, though.)

Update

In ver 1.1, I've made it possible to display results from both Google and DeepL simultaneously. (It is also possible to display results individually using specific hotkeys.)

Requirements

• DeepL account (DeepL API key is required)
• Alfred PowerPack (Paid version is required)
• jq (Install via Homebrew, etc.)

Please refer to the README in the GitHub repository above for installation instructions.

How to use

Since it uses the clipboard value directly, copy the text you want to translate (ctrl+c) and press the configured hotkey. The translation results will automatically be displayed in your browser.

Future Plans

Since I built this quickly, I would like to add Japanese-to-English translation and fix any user-unfriendly parts.

Please let me know if there are any issues or features you would like to see!
