Thanks thomass, now it is possible to download KT-specific version of gtranslator ACX.

Thanks for the explanation about the acxe folder. I was just curious, plus now I know to keep it on my rsync-excludes backup/restore lists.

I now have a "Google Translation" button (instead of the default one, which now I rethink it actually makes sense); thanks a lot!

Oops, I forgot to change the widget ID. If you want to have both translation options, redownload the ACX please.

[eschwartz]

I figure it's better this way, since I don't really need multiple translators.

Maybe it would be different if I had the 3G version, and actually wanted the Bing version. Perhaps leave both up? The replacement, and the addition.

And again, thanks for the hack!

Hy, can you add Romanian to Google Translate ACX?
Thanks.

I was responding to:

But adding gtranslator.acx at "/mnt/us/system/acw/" (over USB connection) does nothing.

Which certainly lists the **internal** path with the information that it was added over the **external** path.

Most probably AcXE is already installed.
I've fixed the installer not to complain in such case.

Acxe ver.4 installed without error, thanks!
But... translator don't work - "Application Error - The selected application could not be started..."

Previously used Acxe ver.1 and aeverything was ok.
What am I doing wrong?

Same problem here with Kindle firmware version 5.4.2.

I also tried to create my own ACX using your excellent Wiki page, but with the same problems. The error I see in /var/log/messages is "TypeError: 'undefined' is not an object:exception converting eventRef to object". Here's the full log:

shutting it down:

Also, I had the problem that removing the acx file did *not* remove the entry in the context menu. It somehow got added on every boot because it was still registered in /var/local/appreg.db. After I restored that file from a backup, the entry vanished. So having a backup of that file is a good idea when experimenting with adding acx files.

Same problem: sometimes I get a blank "Google translation" popup window and sometimes "Application Error - The selected application could not be started...".
All I did was copy the gtranslator.acx file in user store / system/acw/.
I dont know what to do with files for ACX signing: author.p12, sign.sh, widgetsigner.jar

I have the Mobileread Kindlet Kit version 2014.02.14
