A Translator is a project which can change words into different languages using the Translate Extension. This tutorial will show how to make a translator.
Preparation
You will need one sprite to store all the code:
- Button
Two variables will be also needed to store the language entered as well as the word the user wants to translate.
(to language)(word)
Two broadcasts will be needed to tell the project when to ask for the language. (It will do this after the word is given by the user.):
broadcast (original v)broadcast (to what v)
Programming The Translator
Add the following code to the button.
when green flag clicked broadcast (original v) //This broadcasts a message so that the project knows to ask for the word. when I receive [original v] say [Click this button to translate.] wait until <<touching (mouse-pointer v)> and <mouse down?>> //This waits until the button is clicked. say []//This is so it stops saying "Click this button to translate." ask [What shall be translated? Please only enter real words or the translator will not work.] and wait set [word v] to (answer) //This stores the word that the user entered inside of a variable. This is an important part! broadcast (to what v) //This tells the program that it should ask for the language next. when I receive [to what v] ask [To what language?] and wait set [to language v] to (answer) if <(translate (word) to (to language)) = (word)> then //This is to make sure a supported language is entered. say [Please enter a supported language.] for (2) seconds //If a supported language isn't entered, this code will say "Please enter a supported language." broadcast (to what v) //This asks the project to ask the user "What language?" again. else say (translate (word) to (to language)) wait until <<touching (mouse-pointer v)> and <mouse down?>> say [] broadcast (original v)
Your translator is now ready!
