description

This script looks up a word/phrase in a dictionary. User can press key-shortcuts to translate word under cursor, visually selected text or to be asked for a word. Search-results are viewed in the same window in which searching was started. To close a view, press 'q' - TransVim will then switch back to the buffer comming from. There are several possibilities to start a translation:   1) move cursor over word to be translated and press <Leader>tr   2) visually select word to be translated and press <Leader>tr   3) press <Leader>ta to be prompted for a word Memory aid: tr = (T)(R)anslate, ta = (T)ranslate (A)sk for word By default <Leader> is \, so press \tr, \ta to start  translation. In order to prevent tremendous huge search-results, the search-string must be at least 3 characters long (min. length is configurable).

install details

Copy this script into your local plugin directory (~/.vim/plugin/). Set 'g:trv_dictionary' in .vimrc to a plain-ASCII dictionary of your choice (not included, see script header for further info)   e.g.: let g:trv_dictionary="~/.vim/dictionary/ger-eng.txt" 'grep' is used for searching, so you need it too.
