DeepL Translation Script for Scribus – Auto Source Version

What it does in v4:

- Lets DeepL automatically detect the source language per frame

- You only choose:
    - What to translate (selected / current page / whole document)
    - Target language
- Translates all applicable text frames in scope
- Preserves:
    - Font
    - Font size
    - Text color
    - Line spacing
    - Alignment
    - Paragraph style
    - Base character style
    - Word-level character styles (e.g. bold words)
- Optional preview mode
- Logfile: scribus_translation_log.txt (next to the .sla document)

Note: The script is in the attachted ZIP file.

Ugh, that sounds super annoying! The Wayland/Qt combo can be tricky with Scribus right now, especially with those floating property dialogs.
The fix is definitely to run Scribus using X11 emulation. That should get those windows behaving normally and allow you to resize them until Wayland support is totally solid. Hope that gets you unstuck!

not for me. but if someone has the intention to rebuild a microsoft document in scribus it might make the task easy – but what's the real use case for it?

You dont need predefined, you need to id what fonts you do have that will be equivalent for the document you are working with.

Wouldnt it be nice for scribus to present a list of font you have that would be a good substitute for the proprietary one in the doc, rather than guessing at it?

Ok, I think I have a solution. I got rid of the contour lines and instead used column and text distances and set the right and bottom text distance to 4 mm. I don't know why I didn't think of this last night...

I'm working on a book where I need to place a text box inside a text box and there needs to be a 4 mm border around the text box inside the other one. Here is a picture of what I am trying to accomplish:



The way I did this is by using countour lines. But the issue I am having is I am re-using these two text boxes multiple times down the page, and sometimes I need to resize the small inner text box in the upper right corner. When I do that, the countour lines change and no longer maintain the 4 mm padding. Is there a way to resize the text box and maintain the 4 mm padding? Is there a better way to do this than contour lines?

yes, i see.
but as i don't use those proprietary fonts for many reasons, this part didn't reach my attention – and a prefilled substitution table in scribus wouldn't change anything for me.
an automatic recognition of fonts with licensing restrictions might be a good thing for many users. (but i still don't like the predefined replacement fonts...)
