Is there a publish add-on to translate google slides? - translate

I am a history teacher and have been working to assist students learning English with class materials and work along with many of my co-workers. Although it has its issues, google translate is incredibly helpful. I had been looking for ways to translate slides efficiently when I found the "Quickstart: Translate add-on for Google Slides" page of G Suite Developers. Link Below.
I know a bit about code and was able to quickly follow the instructions (which were excellent) to set up the add on, but many of my co-workers may struggle with adding it to their slides.
Long story short here is the question:
I am wondering if there is an already published version of the page/Quickstart Translate add-on which people can use instead of setting up the add on manually? I have not been able to find one.

I'm running into the same problem and have found the same document as you. Have you thought about publishing the add-on to your domain only. You can do that and the link you have links to the documentation on how to do so. You may need to work with the Google Admin in your district to make it happen though. Good luck!

How can I make text appear on scrolling like the following website

Can someone help me with the following problem. I want to make text appear and flow to the right at the same time like this website: https://www.wokine.com/en/ . How should my code look like?
There are a series of solutions to that and writing about them all in detail would take forever, I'm just going to share a few of my favourite libraries and a few resources on them.
AOS is in my opinion the nicest library doing what you want to do. It's on Github.
WOW.js is another library that does what you are looking for, but it has some strange licensing.
With a queck search I could also find ScrollMagic, I have no experience with that one.
Hope it helps get you started!

Search for VMS documentation tool (VAX document ?)

Many years ago I worked at a DEC-shop. We used a tool called Document (as far as I remember) to create documentation. It was provided by DEC and created the same layout as the original DEC documentation. Which is as far as I'm concerned a milestone in layout and typesetting.
Researching the web I found a more or less obscure company which sells this tool for Open VMS. But I would prefer an open source replacement.
Any help ?

Touch Technology was, and perhaps still is, an interesting company with interesting folks like 'Mr Dan'.
They picked up a good bit of Digital software in a fire-sale and had some good stuff such themselves such as performance tuning tools and a 4GL (Intouch... available on OpenVMS Freeware).
The company appears to have moved one, judging by their current website front door which does not dwell on the old stuff , but you could do worse than try contact them.
The back door still list DECdocument: http://www.ttinet.com/documentation.html
Good luck!

If you're still looking for a solution, have you thought about LaTeX? The markup syntax isn't radically different from VAX DOCUMENT's SDML. They both have the same back-end; the final steps in processing an SDML file involved running it through TeX.
I would think the best solution would be DocBook, since it is also an SGML-ish format. You might be able to translate a substantial portion using XSS.

Website in ruby using Sinatra/Padrino

i'm in engineering school and i'm very new in website development (not in my only did C language and algorithm) and i'd like to make one beautiful.
By searching, i read that using Padrino/Sinatra could be nice. I installed it, but i didn't find a tutorial which regroup all.
I'm so lost cause i find too much information but no good examples. In guides, i can't find anything on : how to design websites, how to make a menu...I think i really need examples or templates to start (a code to read).
Thanks
You can start from here: http://www.padrinorb.com/guides/blog-tutorial
It cover most of important concept of padrino and sinatra.
The best way I suggest is to look a bit into opensource websites, for example ours: https://github.com/padrino/padrino-web
On github there are thousands of websites built with padrino or sinatra, so you can find more less/higher complicated.
Here you can find a bigger list:

Best Solution for Website (Joomla, etc.)

I'm in the process of quoting out a website build for a law firm.
I was hoping you could give me your opinions on what the best CMS system would be to easily achieve what they want.
It's a basic informational website. News, About Us, List of Attorneys, Attorney Bios, etc. They would like to be able to easily edit all of these sections.
I was looking into Joomla as a CMS solution to allow them to do this, but I am unsure that it will get the job done (keep in mind I don't have much experience with it however). Joomla seems to revolve around "Articles". This would be fine for the News section, but when it comes to the List of Attorneys (which would have name, location, contact) and would need to be sortable, etc. I don't get the feeling it would get the job done. This could easily be my lack of understanding however.
With a site like this, what do you think the best back-end system would be for them to update this type of content?
This sounds like a rather standard website.
Most CMS-es, open source or proprietary, will solve your usecase rather easily. It really boils down to what tools you are familiar with and if you have special needs.
Of open source CMS-es Plone will easily solve your challenges, and if you prefer php-based solutions, joomla, drupal or wordpress will probably do so as well.
There is a comparisation of their respective strengths and disadvantages available here:
http://www.idealware.org/reports/2010-os-cms
As a developer who's made more than a couple very successful Joomla websites I can definitely say you're misunderstanding 'articles' in this case.
You can have an 'About Us' page, a 'Contact Us' Page, any page you want. Each 'page' is just listed as an 'article' in the backend to make it easy for someone who doesn't know the system to have an idea where to look to edit that 'page'.
In terms of 'lists' of things - there are so many great extensions already written for Joomla you would be really hard pressed to find a better CMS that will allow you to get exactly what you're looking for as quickly or as easily. K2 is great for certain situations but I don't think it would fit the bill for this project.
What you mentioned seems like a standard Joomla install honestly, straight out of the box. A few pages and a list of attorneys? No sweat. You might even look into the Sobi2 component for Joomla - a fully customizable component originally designed as a 'business index' that would probably fit the bill almost perfectly for a 'list of attorneys' and could be as large, or as small as you want. I use it on one of my sites and in that 'list' of providers we have probably 250+ listings from all over the US. However, I'd only recommend it if it's going to get some use - otherwise you're probably fine just using the Joomla system without any plugin.
It sounds like you read a quick overview of Joomla and made a decision without having actually looked into what it can do, or looked at the demo sites created with it. Check it out again, and take a deeper look.
In fact, I had an attorney contact me relating to a Joomla site, and I had him a site up and running within about 4 hours. He had a template he wanted used, so I just installed the template, put in the text he wanted in the particular pages (i.e. articles) and it was done!
Have a look at the content component K2 for Joomla : http://getk2.org/
It allows you to easily create some kind of "pattern of articles", with additional informations, fields,..., then cou can sort them,...
Look here: http://php.opensourcecms.com/ There is a big list of great OpenSource CMS Software, choose the one which has the features which you need.
I don't have a lot of Joomla experience, so can't speak to that; but SharePoint "revolves" around lists, so it will fit your requirements pretty well.

Good image gallery engines

What are the best open source image gallery engines? Both stand-alone, and for existing frameworks such as Wordpress or Drupal.
Hopefully we can build a good list here over time.
Gallery is the classic choice. It has skins, security layers, heaps of plugins, etc, but can be run with the default settings easily if you want to. I've used it for years.
GOOD QUESTION, lots of people ask this in many web forums so hopefully we will get some good responses to this, and have a good list of solutions.
Personally I always used to say something like Gallery or some other OS script, but recently I have found myself using more and more something like a simple php script which just spits our a list of images (maybe 7 a page) but relying on a Javascript library such as mootools or Ext to provide all the functionality, particularly for small or individual galleries. Im particularly loving the noobslide mootools class at the moment which has some lovely gallery effects.
Noobslide
I suppose at the end of the day its all down to what you need, there will be no one answer that fits all but a number of different solutions will hopefully show up here that will suit different peoples needs.
