Alfred's workflow to translate text on the fly

TL;DR:

Translate by a hotkey:

Philosophy

I bet you know that feeling when you need to translate a word (or a phrase) and have to switch to a browser, translate, copy, return back and paste the result. Tedious, isn't it?
Here's where Alfred comes in. I love this tool and use it a thousand times a day. Unfortunately, I haven't found any translation-workflow that suits me* so I wrote my own ツ

* I didn't like the most popular solution because of its verbosity (driven by a flexibility). Though it's may be what you're looking for.

Features

  • Translate with only one letter - t*
  • Prediction / Autocorrection
  • Multiple translations (in order of importance)
  • No need to specify the direction of translation
  • Select any text and press a hotkey** to translate it without any extra moves
  • Copy the result into a clipboard by return click
  • Redirect to Google Translate by cmd + return

* There's also an extra Russian letter е which is useful when you need to translate from Russian (no need to switch languages in Alfred)
** The default hotkey is option + t. But you can always change that in the workflow's settings

Version

Current version is 1.3
