If it meets the guidelines, this might make a good 'Show HN'. Show HN guidelines: https://news.ycombinator.com/showhn.html https://news.ycombinator.com/showhn.html

  Thanks Ben, it's been a while since we last spoke :) Yeah it's probably ok, I've extended the language parsing engine so that users can write automation scripts in their 21 different native languages. The language definitions can be easily improved or added by users. Here's the current set - Bengali, Chinese, English, French, German, Hindi, Hungarian, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Serbian, Spanish, Tagalog, Tamil, Thai, Vietnamese.

    Good to see the project making progress and that you're still chugging away.

This is very cool, almost magic... but I have no idea if I will ever integrate it into my automated testing work. I guess only one way to find out.

  Thanks @triangleman, the multi-human languages feature has just been added in the latest release. There'll probably be edge cases which I couldn't encounter during testing. The tool is essentially like a macros library to minimize writing code and make automation of UI interactions easier. Appreciate feedback from the community!

Hi! I'm Ken from Singapore. TAGUI FEATURES • automate Chrome, Firefox, PhantomJS • visual automation of websites and desktop • write in 20+ human languages & JavaScript • Chrome extension for recording web actions • unzip and run on macOS, Linux, Windows • run by schedule, command line, API URL • advanced API / command calls to services I left banking to do these open-source automation stuff full-time a year ago, partly out of interest and partly to dedicate time for self-directed learning. Tomorrow, I'll be moving back to full-time job at AI Singapore (https://www.aisingapore.org https://www.aisingapore.org). It's a government initiative to build up AI capabilities locally. During my role there, integrating the tool (in its current form or a new form) with AI and ML capabilities will be part of my job scope.
