Not only English-Chinese translator for Emacs.
fanyi.el
is a simple yet powerful multi-dictionaries interface for Emacs, currently it includes:
海词
有道同义词
, Unofficial APIetymonline
Longman
.fanyi.el
has integrations with:
imenu
, M-x imenu to jump to dictionary section directly.bookmark
, C-x r m to make a bookmark for current query word which turns bookmark
into a vocabulary notebook.outline-mode
, TAB to collapse on section.ol
(aka org-link
), org-store-link
on a fanyi buffer, the link can be inserted later via org-insert-link
. It's accomplished by introducing a fanyi
link type.
e.g., C-c C-o on [[fanyi:happy][description of happy]]
will invoke a fanyi search.
Since ol
depends on org
package, this integration needs an explicit (require 'ol-fanyi)
.Install fanyi.el
from MELPA with:
M-x package-install RET fanyi RET
M-x fanyi-dwim
, or fanyi-dwim2
if you can confirm the word at
point is wanted. A new command fanyi-from-history
is introduced to browse the
search history.
If you want M-x fanyi to list only fanyi-dwim
, fanyi-dwim2
and
fanyi-from-history
, try
;; Emacs 28+
(setq read-extended-command-predicate #'command-completion-default-include-p)
CAUTIOUS: Don't customize fanyi-providers
via setq
, use the custom system instead.
;; If you want English-English dictionary only.
(use-package fanyi
:ensure t
:custom
(fanyi-providers '(fanyi-etymon-provider
fanyi-longman-provider)))
;; Default, comment out the providers you don't need.
(use-package fanyi
:ensure t
:custom
(fanyi-providers '(;; 海词
fanyi-haici-provider
;; 有道同义词词典
fanyi-youdao-thesaurus-provider
;; Etymonline
fanyi-etymon-provider
;; Longman
fanyi-longman-provider)))
;; For non-`use-package' users
(custom-set-variables
'(fanyi-providers '(fanyi-haici-provider
fanyi-youdao-thesaurus-provider
fanyi-etymon-provider
fanyi-longman-provider)))
By default, M-x fanyi-dwim
will move the point to the new created *fanyi*
buffer.
(setq fanyi-auto-select nil)
to keep the point.
For windows users,
(setq fanyi-sound-player-support-https t)
if your sound player can be launched with your-sound-player url
. Otherwise it will be called like your-sound-player - <(the voice file)
, where -
is interpreted as stdin
which is an UNIX convention.
