Darling is a translation layer that lets you run macOS software on Linux
- FastDarling runs macOS software directly without using a hardware emulator.
- FreeLike Linux, Darling is free and open-source software.
It is developed openly on GitHub and distributed under the GNU GPL license version 3. - CompatibleDarling implements a complete Darwin environment. Mach, dyld, launchd — everything you'd expect.
- Easy to useDarling does most of the setup for you. Sit back and enjoy using your favorite software.
- NativeWe aim to fully integrate apps running under Darling into the Linux desktop experience by making them look, feel and behave just like native Linux apps.
Google Translate is not available for Mac but there are plenty of alternatives that runs on macOS with similar functionality. The most popular Mac alternative is DeepL Translator, which is free.If that doesn't suit you, our users have ranked more than 100 alternatives to Google Translate and many of them are available for Mac so hopefully you can find a suitable replacement. ITranslate for Mac puts 90+ languages at your fingertips. It is designed as a status bar app that is always just one click or keystroke away to help you solve any translation problem.
- That sounds a lot like WineAnd it is! Wine lets you run Windows software on Linux, and Darling does the same for macOS software. Another similar project is Anbox, for Android apps.
- Does it support GUI apps?Almost! This took us a lot of time and effort, but we finally have basic experimental support for running simple graphical applications. It requires some special setup for now though, so do not expect it to work out of the box just yet. We're working on this; stay tuned!
- Does it violate Apple's EULA?No! We only directly use those parts of Darwin that are released as fully free software.
- Does the name Darling mean anything?The name Darling is a combination of “Darwin” and “Linux”. Darwin is the core operating system macOS and iOS are based on.
- Can I run Darling on Windows using WSL?Unfortunately, no. Darling requires a real Linux kernel to run. See this issue for more details.
- Do you know about opensource.apple.com, GNUstep, The Cocotron and other projects?We do, and in fact, Darling is largely based on the original Darwin source code published by Apple. We use The Cocotron as a basis for our Cocoa implementation, along with the Apportable Foundation and various bits of GNUstep.
- Do you have plans for supporting iOS apps?Yes, in the long run, we'd like to be able to run iOS apps on ARM devices (like most Android phones). A significant challenge here would be to write our own implementation of UIKit. Come talk to us if you're interested in working on this!
- How do I contribute?Start by reading the documentation and our blog to get familiar with Darling internals. Then, come and join us on GitHub. It's great if you have experience in developing for macOS or iOS, but it's absolutely not required to start contributing.
If you’ve been frustrated with the search for good translation software for the Mac, you’re not alone. With the fast expansion of the internet across the world, the demand for a translation program has increased dramatically.
Systran, the world leader in translation software had been planning to produce a Mac compatible translator but due to developing a new translation engine last year, the only Mac translator they had time to release was the Systran Widget translator. Apple included the Systran Widget on every new computer, it was great but it only allowed small sections of text to be translated at a time.
One thing was learned from the launch of this new product, even Systran was not prepared for the over whelming response from Apple users, servers were overloaded with the demand. This proved Mac users wanted a translator for the mac.
Systran Translation Software on Mac Computers
Thanks to Apple building the latest Mac computers with the Intel chip, which allows Mac to run Windows applications, Systran can now be installed in a Windows enviroment. No longer is there a need for a separate translator for the Mac OS X. You can check to see if your computer has this capability but all computers shipped with Mac OS 10 Snow Leopard includes Boot Camp, a software that lets you dual boot into Microsoft Windows .
Instantly Convert Foreign Languages
Once you have the dual boot system on your computer, you can take full advantage of Systran translation software for Mac computers and laptops. This will allow you to translate a variety of documents from Microsoft Office.
