llm-po-translator 0.1.0

Translate Django .po files automatically via LLM (Anthropic, Groq)

llm-po-translator

Automatically translate Django .po files via LLM — Anthropic (Claude) or Groq (Llama).

• Skips already-translated entries
• Strips venv/site-packages pollution
• Rate limit detection: silences output after 3 consecutive 429s, counts silently, re-run to resume
• Auto-detects language from path (locale/es/LC_MESSAGES/django.po → es)
• Works as a CLI or a Django management command

Install

pip install llm-po-translator            # no provider (bring your own)
pip install 'llm-po-translator[groq]'    # + Groq
pip install 'llm-po-translator[anthropic]' # + Anthropic
pip install 'llm-po-translator[all]'     # both

Set your API key and provider in your environment (or .env):

LLM_PROVIDER=groq         # anthropic | groq
