Description

Tiny Beast is an app which can be as tiny as 9 MB or be a beast by downloading hefty dictionaries for it!

*** Use Online Mode if your laptop is old. Installing the Offline Mode dictionaries requires intensive text processing. ***

*** This software works properly in X11 and Ubuntu 22 or higher. ***

Recommendation If you get annoyed by repetitive OS notification "Window is Ready" while translating selected texts, use "NoAnnoyance v2" GNOME Extension at https://github.com/bdaase/noannoyance to suppress them.

• Online Mode: Great for translating words and sentences in no time. It mimics the Google Translate service.

• Offline Mode: No need to look for databases or worry about dictionary file formats and so on. There are several (all free) huge dictionaries for French, German etc. (thanks to kaikki.org) which provide detailed information for roots of words (etymology), variations in different countries, idioms, etc.

  • List of available resources:
    • English
    • French
    • German
    • Spanish
    • Italian
    • Persian
    • Portuguese
    • Chinese
    • Arabic

This software is built with Tauri which combines ReactJS, ViteJs and the Rust Language.
