Language translation from the command line or clipboard

Fri, 04 Apr 2008 08:00:00 GMT
Web-based automatic translators such as translate.google.com are great for getting the gist of what a document is saying, but it can be cumbersome to have to open a new tab in your browser, load that URL, and copy and paste the text you want to translate into your browser. The twandgtw project allows you to get language translations directly from the Linux command line using either local dictionaries or online services.

DwtClipboardLock(3Dwt)													    DwtClipboardLock(3Dwt)

Name
       DwtClipboardLock - Locks the clipboard from access by other applications.

Syntax
       int DwtClipboardLock(display, window)
	    Display *display;
	    Window window;

Arguments
       display	 Specifies  a pointer to the Display structure that was returned in a previous call to XOpenDisplay.  For information on XOpenDis-
		 play and the Display structure, see the Guide to the Xlib Library: C Language Binding.

       window	 Specifies the window ID that relates the application window to the clipboard.	The same application instance should pass the same
		 window ID to each clipboard function that it calls.

Description
       The  DwtClipboardLock  function	locks  the  clipboard from access by another application until you call DwtClipboardUnlock.  All clipboard
       functions lock and unlock the clipboard to prevent simultaneous access.	The DwtClipboardLock and DwtClipboardUnlock  functions	allow  the
       application to keep the clipboard data from changing between calls to the inquire functions and other clipboard functions.  The application
       does not need to lock the clipboard between calls to DwtBeginCopyToClipboard and DwtEndCopyToClipboard.

       If the clipboard is already locked by another application, DwtClipboardLock returns an error status.

       Multiple calls to DwtClipboardLock by the same application increase the lock level.

Return Values
       This function returns one of these status return constants:

       ClipboardSuccess   The function is  success-
			  ful.
       ClipboardLocked	  The	 function    failed
			  because the clipboard was
			  locked  by another appli-
			  cation.  The	application
			  can  continue to call the
			  function  with  the  same
			  parameters	until	the
			  clipboard  is   unlocked.
			  Optionally,  the applica-
			  tion can ask if the  user
			  wants  to  keep trying or
			  to give up on the  opera-
			  tion.
