Path I get:

 

Users/joellelemoan 1/System/Library/Caches

 

No Preferences in it.

 

I only get:

 

Macintosh HD/Library/Preferences/

 

I don’t know where is this file ?

com.runningwithcrayons.Alfred-Preferences-3.plist

@Nikersify

 

I git this :

 

jlmretina:~ jlm$ wget -O- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/glenpike/npm-g_nosudo/87277d2d2abe4acf3c29488d7ebcc5994b979596/npm-g-nosudo.sh | sh

-bash: wget: command not found

 

So I haven't try to follow with:

'npm i -g alfred-polyglot' in a new terminal windows

[Nikersify]

@Gavzel Oh my bad, try this instead and then run the install command in a new window:

curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/glenpike/npm-g_nosudo/87277d2d2abe4acf3c29488d7ebcc5994b979596/npm-g-nosudo.sh | sh

@Nikersify

 

Look great ! Thanks ! 😊

Except when I made  try, I got this error:

Try : "trans non from fr"

"Error : Activate this item to try again. Cmd+L to see stack trace"

 

Do I forget something ? Workflow appear in Alfred's List.

[Nikersify]

@Gavzel

You've installed it correctly, nice! Without seeing the stack trace I'm guessing the issue is the same as with almost everybody else also experiencing problems - Google blocking the translate requests for. The workflow might work for you on a different internet connection, for now I'm afraid there's nothing we can do. Sorry for the trouble.

[Gavzel]

⌘L show something about Google translate api.

 

[Nikersify]

@Gavzel Yep, that's the thing I was talking about.

And npm install -g doesn't work as non-root when you've previously run it as root.

[Nikersify]

@deanishe I agree!

@Nikersify

So actually, we can't use this Workflow ? Bad luck, it's look so nice… 😕

 

Please don't fight about me and my previous problem, using "sudo" or not.
Workflow has been installed even if I can't use it really. 😀

 

I just hope than I haven't installed twice (local and global in root) ?

Hi!
I hope you can help me with my issue.
Here is my error:

Thanks for your work!

[Nikersify]

@btriapitsyn Same issue as above, I can't do anything, sorry.

[Nikersify]

@Gavzel No, you never installed in `root`, don't worry about that - it's just the workflow.

[Nikersify]

@deanishe I'll say it again - `alfred-link` just doesn't work when running with sudo as it can't find the .plist for some reason, she did run `npm i -g` without sudo indeed but had npm misconfigured so that it was requiring root to install packages globally - hence the issue. I apologize if I sounded like I was attacking you @deanishe - I don't mean to fight or anything, I'm just trying to clear any confusions 😄

Yes, I understood the first time you said it, though I did not realise that npm install also performs the linking step. I avoid all Node-based workflows that require this install method because it causes lots of problems.

Thank you for letting me know. Next time someone has sudoed their node_modules, I will tell them how to fix that instead of using sudo npm i.

 

I've also got no idea why alfred-link doesn't work. sudo behaviour is weird sometimes.

I'm getting the same error.

Looks like a cool workflow

 

I did the `npm install` and it seemed to run fine -- no error messages, anyway.

 

But -- the workflow is not installed. If I go to Alfred Preferences, it's not in my list of workflows.

 

Any thoughts?

An underlying library that polyglot uses to install itself doesn't support Alfred 4, will have to wait for a fix: https://github.com/SamVerschueren/alfred-link/issues/23

[mixterdee]

I really want this to work. I got everything installed fine and the first translation worked perfectly now when I try I just get the following errors

 

 

 

I use translations all day so having this working would be a great addition to Alfred for me.

 

Can you point me in the right direction to get this working?

 

TIA

 

[Nikersify]

Update v1.4.0

 

I've pushed a new version of the workflow to npm, you can upgrade by running

$ npm install -g alfred-polyglot

Notable changes since v1.3.1:

- The workflow now supports Alfred 4

- Stability improvements with Google Translate, thanks to the awesome work of vitalets (https://github.com/vitalets/google-translate-api)

 

@noodles5 @mixterdee

[Petru]

It works! 🤩
Thanks!

[Xusqui]

As promised... I had an eye on this...

 

After the new 1.4.0 release, it works like a charm!!!

 

GOOD JOB!!!

 

Love your work, congrats!
