Unofficial DeepL App / GUI for Linux based on JavaFX.
Developed and tested on openSUSE Tumbleweed with KDE Plasma 6 and Java 17.
Download the latest version from GitHub
and run it with java -jar jDeepL-vX.X.X.jar.
You'll need a DeepL API key from DeepL's website. Select the "DeepL API Free" option which gives you 500,000 characters per month at no cost, which should be enough for personal use.
The application will ask for your API key on first launch.
Due to the fact that this is an unofficial client which uses the regular DeepL API, you need your own API Key.
DEEPL API FREE is already sufficient and provides a
500,000 character limit per month at no cost,
which should be enough for personal use.
Java Requirements: Java 17 or later
Limited feature set and just a simple optic compared to the official Windows or Mac App.
jDeepL supports the Free and Pro Version of the DeepL API, the correct API URL will be picked automatically based on the entered API Key.
The Shortcut CTRL + C + C, similar to the DeepL
Windows App, will:
- Copy the selected text
- Restore the jDeepL Window if it's minimized or not in Focus
- Paste the earlier copied text
- Trigger the Translation
Pre-built releases are available on GitHub.
The JAR file is self-contained with all dependencies included,
so just download and run with java -jar jDeepL-vX.X.X.jar.
To build the code, ensure you have Java 17 or later installed. You can use the package manager of your Linux Distribution or try sdkman.
You also need Apache Maven,
either use the manual installation method, your package manager
or the version shipped with your IDE. Alternatively, you can
install the Maven Wrapper with mvn wrapper:wrapper
after installing Maven.
The project creates a self-contained JAR file by running
mvn compile package.
This command will create the file shade/jDeepL.jar,
to launch jDeepL run java -jar shade/jDeepL.jar.
You can copy the JAR file to any location you prefer and run it from there.
