pygtranslate

Pythonic interface with CLI to Google's free Translate API for python 2.7 and 3.x

Features:

  • Supports request splitting for large requests (>4000 chars default) to circumvent GET char limit. Large translation requests will be split on end of sentences where possible to preserve quality of translation.
  • Proxy support via HTTPS_PROXY environment variable.
  • Agent spoofing.
  • Uses google's auto language detection where possible by default if not explicitly specified.

Usage:

client = Translator()
client.translate('Bonjour', from_lang='fr', to_lang='en')
>>> 'Hello'

Command Line tool:

python translator.py -t en -f fr -q "Bonjour"
>>> Hello

Installation

The easiest way is with pip:

pip install pygtranslate
