Is it possible to call Google Translate popup (only the popup, and not the whole Google Translate app) from my application, using intent or something else? I'm using B4A (Basic for Android) platform, so if it is possible, please guide me based on B4A. However Java solutions can be useful too and they are also welcomed. Thanks.

  • Good idea, but it isn't perfect for me. In my opinion, Google Translate API has some drawbacks comparing to Google Translate App or Google Translate web (translate.google.com). I'm interested in using Google Translate Application because I think it have better and more complete features. – Nima Aug 22 '17 at 05:32
  • Try to install Google Translator and use it with intent – Omid Aghakhani Aug 22 '17 at 05:37
  • I've tried this. It performs well. But only one thing that I don't like : Google Translate App covers up the whole screen. It covers my app too! I would like it to be shown in a custom height (and not full screen). If it would be possible to adjust the height of the Google Translate app, it will solve my issue. In addition, the Translate popup doesn't show in full screen, but I can't call it from my app. – Nima Aug 22 '17 at 07:18
  • Is it possible to show Google Translate app in a panel, using intent? – Nima Aug 22 '17 at 07:22
  • No it isn't possible. I had searched about show Google Translator in app,but i didn't found any topic about it – Omid Aghakhani Aug 22 '17 at 10:33
  • OK. Thank you for your assistance. – Nima Aug 22 '17 at 10:46
  • The translate app is meant to run as an independent app, and would normally take the whole screen. In fact, Translation API is what you need, it is in fact designed for exactly what you intend to do in your app. – George Sep 15 '17 at 15:31
  • @George many dictionary apps can be started as popups from other apps, for example we can open card for word we add to intent, take a look at GoldenDict, ColorDict and so on – user924 Dec 09 '17 at 23:15
