If you cannot launch with the shortcut, right-click the icon and select "Allow Launch".

After launching browser you can translate the text by pressing the shortcut key (ctrl-alt-c) after copying (ctrl-c).

Trouble Shooting

  • Can't translate with the shortcut. If it was started with the command clip_translate_s, the following error is displayed.
socket.error: [Errno 98] Address already in use

This is not visible when launched from the desktop icon. You can kill the process on the port being used by running

kill_clip_trasnlate_s
  • Can't launch an application from its icon. Launch from command line and check the error.
