Hi everyone,

I made a simple translation block using the Scratch 2.0 experimental extensions. It uses the yandex.com translate API to translate text between 30 different languages!

To try the extension:
1. Open your Scratch project
2. In the editor window, hold the “Shift” key and click the “File” menu
3. Click “Import Experimental Extension”
4. Type "http://khanning.com/translate_extension.js“
5. Now you can access the translation blocks under the ”More Blocks“ category

The extension tries to detect the browsers default language and assigns it to the ”default language“ block. I included a ”set default language" block in case it was not properly detected.

There is a slight bug with experimental extensions, so for now you have to re-import the extension each time you load your project.

You cannot share Scratch 2.0 projects that contain experimental extensions currently. However, you can download the .sb2 file, share it with someone, and instruct them on how to import the extension.

Cool!

Are there plans for allowing the sharing of such projects in the future?

you can you just put the blocks containing the extension and put it in the backpack then share it w/o extensions then add the extension stuff where they were when shared

when green flag clicked
say [i broke my siggy :(] for (2) secs

Yandex.Translater? 0_o Hmm…

I have trouble! My computer is not working. @khanning please do not let me down

if <not <Black Lives matter>> then
add [Black Lives Matter] to [Rules for cops v]
end

how do you make an extension block that translates, because I did the ‘hold down shift key while clicking file menu’ and it did not work!
