The full list of supported languages.

Usage

To install: pip install pygtaw.

Identify your api key and make a new Client object.

>>> import pygtaw
>>> api_key = 'ENTER_API_KEY'
>>> client = pygtaw.Client(api_key)

To make the translation request:

>>> query = 'Hello, world!'
>>> target = 'Korean'
>>> source = 'English'
>>> translation = client.translate(query, target, source)
>>>
>>> print translation.translated_text
안녕하세요

You can send a translation request without a source as well–the Google Translate API can detect the source language:

>>> translation = client.translate('Hello', target='Spanish')
>>> print translation.translated_text
Hola
>>> print translation.detected_source_language
English

Tests

Currently, tests are made by making requests to Google Translate API. To run the tests, make a key file in the tests folder and make sure it’s added to .gitignore.
