Libris Translate 0.28.0 · User guide
Follow an RSS or Atom source
Import each new chapter of a webnovel from a feed that carries its text.
Steps
- Open the Settings tab of a text volume and find the “Follow a source” card. Enter the “Feed address” and “How often (hours)”, then click “Follow this feed”.
- Tick “Translate what arrives” to start the translation as soon as new chapters are imported. Leave it unticked and they are imported, then wait for you to start them.
- Click “Look now” for an immediate check. The result says how many new entries were found and imported, and lists the entries that carried only a link.
- Click “Stop following” when the source should no longer be watched.
What to know
The feed is checked every 6 hours by default, and you can choose anything from 1 to 168 hours. Only hosts the administrator lists in SOURCE_WATCH_HOSTS can be followed, and an address that leads to a private network is refused. Libris Translate imports what the feed itself carries: it does not follow links, does not fetch web pages and does not guess a chapter number the feed does not give. EPUB volumes cannot follow a source.
Fictional example
Follow a fictional serial feed that publishes full chapters, leave “Translate what arrives” unticked for the first check, and read the imported chapters before switching it on.
