from translate import Translator
translator= Translator(to_lang="zh")
translation = translator.translate("me")

print(translation) # 我` confused...

[terryyin]

Yes. But your example is translating from en to zh.

[super1207]

from translate import Translator
print(Translator(from_lang='zh',to_lang="en").translate('我')) #Me

@terryyin @pengyao1207
can you please tell me how to apply this into a pandas dataframe ?
I have a column df['Text'] which contain text from different languages and I want to translate it into a new column called df['Text transalted']

[terryyin]

Hi @mostafagafer it's probably not a good idea to apply this directly to pandas. Two reasons:

1. we are using free translation service and there's limit amount you can use daily.
2. It uses the network to do the translation, so very slow.

Probably build a local cache for the translations.

Thanks for your respond @terryyin , I applied google cloud translation using api , and it worked, although the data set was only 30 row and I didn't test it on a huge data set . but as a starter it was great

@mostafagafer Is you have a little data or you want to use a Paid provider you can use like this to populate your data frame:

PS: I'm using Brazilian Portuguese as output

In [1]: from translate import Translator
In [2]: import pandas as pd
# If you want a diferente provider you must add in your Translator constructor
In [3]: translator = Translator(from_lang='en', to_lang='pt-BR')

# Example of data to translate
In [4]: data = [
    {'text': 'the book'},
    {'text': 'the flower'},
    {'text': 'the colors'},
    {'text': 'the music'}
]

# Create you Pandas Data Frame
In [37]: df = pd.DataFrame(data, columns=['text'])

# Only show you to check
In [38]: df
Out[38]:
         text
0    the book
1  the flower
2  the colors
3   the music

# Add a new column
In [39]: df['translated'] = [translator.translate(text) for text in df['text']]

# now to you have a new column with the translated text.
In [40]: df
Out[40]:
         text      translated
0    the book    o livro
1  the flower     a flor
2  the colors   as cores
3   the music  A música,

Following the documentation in case you want to use a paid provider like Microsoft.
