Translate just the words you selected
Select text, right-click, and read its translation in a small card, worked out on your Mac.
Select a word, a sentence or a whole paragraph, right-click, and choose Translate Selection. A small card opens beside the text with the translation, and Copy puts it on the clipboard. Esc closes the card at any time. A click outside closes it once the translation is in.
The card translates into the language Translate Page uses for the site. If you picked a language for that site from the globe’s menu, Satori uses it. Otherwise it uses your own language. When the selection already reads in that language, the menu item is left out.
Nothing leaves the Mac. The translation runs with Apple’s Translation framework, the same one Translate Page uses, and the text is not logged or kept. The first time you use a language, macOS may ask you to download its language pack, and the card waits for your answer.
There are two limits. A selection longer than 2,000 characters is cut to its first 2,000, and the card says so under the translation. A selection inside an iframe is not offered.
This release also changes Soundscapes and the camera and microphone. Each preset has eight chord progressions, and the first start of each day opens on a track the date picks, so the music does not begin the same way every day. Binaural beats are tuned to each mood: 14 Hz for Focus and Work, 10 Hz for Study, 8 Hz for Calm, 6 Hz for Meditative and 16 Hz for Boost. When you allow a site’s camera or microphone request, Satori asks macOS for access first. If macOS has it turned off, a message offers Open System Settings instead of a bare refusal.
Versions 0.13.2 and 0.13.3 never got a post. They fixed the site-search label in the address field, made is search iStock, and gave a new site its own row in Settings › Search › Sites. 0.13.3 imports bookmarks and history from Firefox, Zen and Safari, puts an arrow on a pinned tab that has left its page, and adds ⇧⌘D for pinning and unpinning. The full list is in the release notes.
