Voyant Translate Skin (beta)

The translate skin is a custom skin for Voyeur Tools which offers multiple translations of the same document. Target languages for the translations are chosen from a comprehensive list and the Google Translate API is used to provide the resulting texts. These are used to populate the final view which consists of a series of Cirrus tools, one for each translation.

Further translations can be produced for any of the texts by selecting one from the “Next Translation” drop-down. The Cirrus tools can be arranged in two layouts: tile, and circular. They can also be re-sized and moved to produce a custom layout.
