Translate a word or phrase to and from English between many languages

Translator

A web app for Firefox OS that lets you translate words or phrases from English to other languages (and the reverse). It uses the Word Reference API to do the translations.

Run it

Install the manifest or launch it from Github Pages.

Hack on it

To simulate serving static content from Github pages to Firefox OS you can run a simple NodeJS server:

git clone https://github.com/kumar303/translator.git
cd translator

You need to link to gaia to get the shared styles for local development and deployment. Either set a path to $GAIA in your environment or fetch the submodule:

git submodule update --init

The submodule is pinned to the v1-train branch to mimic production phones. Now you are ready to install the Node dependencies and start a development server:

npm install
npm start

Install the manifest or launch it from your local web server.

Deploy to Github Pages

To deploy the code to Github Pages run this:

volo build && volo ghdeploy

This copies all www files and all gaia/shared files into www-built which is then set as your Github Pages root directory.
