Description

Translator is a small application, which translates IR input commands into instructions to control all kinds of functions. So you can control a lot of functions on the entire PC.
Respectively: Translator converts input into actions depending on what application has focus.

It starts hidden in the System Tray.

For configuration must you start Translators Setup. You find it in the context menu from the System Tray Icon.

Important:
The application will not launch automatically after installation, it needs to be launched manually from the Windows Start Menu. Once started, right-click the System Tray Icon and enter Setup. In the lower left corner is a checkbox that, when ticked, will auto-launch the Translator application every time Windows starts.

Translator must always be running to do his job!

Usage

You can map remote buttons to what you want. The default target for functions is "System Wide". This mean, that all commands which are defined in this section will work, regardless of the active program.
