GMini Translator is a windowed tool for the Windows desktop that allows fast translations of short texts from the Google Translate translation service as provided by the Google Chrome.
Thus no API key is needed to run the service.
However, it has limitations (text size, automatic hyphenation on punctuation, …). The GMini Translator tool circumvents these limitations by splitting translation queries into subqueries and then collecting the results.
This small program is provided free of charge and experimental to users of this site
