pyGoogleTranslate 2.0

A little python to parse Google Translate webpages

pyGoogleTranslate

A python module for Google Translate (without using the API)

This module lets you get two things:

• translate(text, destination_language, source_language)

Translates the given text into the chosen language.

text: The text to translate
destination_language: The language code (two letters) of the language you want to get.
source_language (default: auto): The language code (two letters) of the language the text is in. ('auto' detects automatically the language the text is in)

• detect_language(text, result_language)

Gives the language of the given text.

text: The text to check.
result_language: The language code (two letters) of the output language.

Installation

You can install pyGoogleTranslate via PIP the Python Package Index Manager.

pip install pyGoogleTranslate

But you also need to install a compatible browser:

Browser	browser() command	Installation	Notes
PhantomJS	pyGoogleTranslate.browser('phantomjs')	On macOS with Homebrew brew cask install phantomjs	PhantomJS is not maintained anymore but is the most lightweight of all three. ⚠️It seems to not handle Japanese Characters well when rendering.
Firefox	pyGoogleTranslate.browser('firefox')	Install Firefox (with the name Firefox) and install the driver (on macOS with Homebrew brew install geckodriver)	I tested pyGoogleTranslate on Firefox and it seems to be quite long to start but works well with Japanese Characters which seemed to not work with PhantomJS
Chrome	pyGoogleTranslate.browser('chrome')	Install Google Chrome and install the driver (on macOS with Homebrew brew cask install chromedriver)	Same as Firefox.

Usage

import pyGoogleTranslate
>>> pyGoogleTranslate.browser('<browser you want to use>')


>>> pyGoogleTranslate.translate('Hello', 'ja')
'こんにちは'

>>> pyGoogleTranslate.translate('Bonjour', source_language='fr', destination_language='en')
'Hello'

>>> pyGoogleTranslate.detect_language('Hola')
'Spanish'

>>> pyGoogleTranslate.detect_language('Hola', 'es')
'español'

>>> pyGoogleTranslate.detect_language('Nihao')
'Chinese'

>>> pyGoogleTranslate.detect_language('このPythonモジュールをダウンロード頂き誠にありがとうございました。')
'Japanese'
