I can't change TranslateIt! services keyboard shortcuts

If trying to change TranslateIt! services keyboard shortcuts you receive the following message:

You don't have permissions to change the keyboard shortcuts.

this means that you don't have permissions to write to files inside the TranslateIt! application bundle. And since the keyboard shortcuts settings are stored within that bundle, you are unable to change them.

To obtain necessary permissions:

  1. Quit TranslateIt!
  2. Locate TranslateIt!.app in Finder (most probably it will be located in the Applications folder)
  3. Control-click/Right-click TranslateIt!.app and choose Get Info
  4. If the "Ownership & Permissions:" category is collapsed, click its disclosure triangle
  5. Choose "Read & Write" from the "You can" drop-down menu
  6. Enter your administrator password, and
  7. Click OK.

Note: If you don't have administrator privileges, you will not be able to change the permissions of the TranslateIt!.app bundle.
