Ae toolkit ​

This is a multi-tool collection, simplified from Lab features and bundled for a faster workflow. LmBox Bridge has offered it since V3.1; see the extension release notes.

Translate & replace ​

A handy tool simplified from the Lab feature Translate & replace. It renames and translates sequences, clips and other items in your project.

Note

It is still evolving quickly, but it is ready to use, and you are welcome to join the beta.
For your first use, we strongly recommend importing the local dictionary of common professional terms I put together.

Translate & replace

Setup ​

⚠️ Before your first use, set up your Baidu Translate App ID and dictionary. Read Dictionary setup and download.

Features ​

  • Target type Targets are picked in two ways depending on the ticked types: with a selection or without. If something is selected, the selection is the target; with nothing selected, everything becomes the target. We suggest you select the targets by hand each time: it is faster and uses fewer API characters.
  • Translate and simulate
    1. Translate runs silently: nothing is shown, and matching rules are applied automatically to translate and replace.
    2. Simulate is the one we recommend, especially early on when you have no local dictionary yet. It shows the matched terms so you can edit them; once you click Replace at the bottom, the translation is applied and this round's dictionary mappings are saved locally.
  • Auto replace In simulate mode, shows the matched terms. Terms joined with "-" come from your local dictionary; terms joined with "*" come from the online translation.
  • Custom replace If a term is not matched, write it by hand. Each line is a new term, with no limit, and regular expressions are supported.
  • Prefix and suffix Adds a prefix and suffix to the selected target type.
  • Replace Applies the simulated result to translate and replace in your project.

Project tree ​

Tip

This is an express tool. To keep it simple, change or add folders in Project folders and save them there.
