Babylon app?

bachelor · 02-13-2011, 12:32 PM

Hi everybody,
New to this forum, but I want to ask a thing or two. Is there any way to make Babylon application work in calibre book viewer? When I try to look for a word in Babylon I have to do it manually.
So, any solutions?

What is Babylon and what does it have to do with calibre's ebook-viewer?

The OP said application. Babylon would be the name of the application. In reference to the OPs post leaving off app (short for application) makes sense in the context is is used. Unless app is part of the name (which the OP didn't use) then app is needless.

Its an application - dictionary - you may google it. And it doesn't work only on text in calibre book viewer. Why is that?

Go ask the people who made it why it doesn't work. You might also want to google "How To Ask Questions The Smart Way" while you're at it.

It because Babylon can't capture text in python softwares (and java + some other apps). You could set Babylon to capture clipboard then copy the text to have it searched/translated.

Sorry for inconvenience which I cause to you or your establishment when I asked in such shortened and stupid way. However, I am very glad that somebody eventually understood my, much under-intelligent and no-smart-way question, and answered correctly. Thank you very much for help on this issue.

I realize you are aggravated, but you have to realize that the volunteers here that answer questions get a steady stream of people asking things on the level of "Calibre won’t work. Why Not?"

You didn’t even say what version of Calibre or what OS you are using. They need full details to understand what the problem is.
