• Russian to English

In order to translate a word, you can follow this workflow:

>>> from wrpy import WordReference

>>> wr = WordReference('es', 'en')  # same as WordReference('esen')

>>> wr.translate('teclado')
{'word': 'teclado',
 'from_lang': 'Spanish',
 'to_lang': 'English',
 'url': 'https://www.wordreference.com/esen/teclado',
 'translations': [{'title': 'Principal Translations',
   'entries': [{'from_word': {'source': 'teclado', 'grammar': 'nm'},
     'to_word': [{'meaning': 'keyboard', 'notes': None, 'grammar': 'n'},
      {'meaning': 'keypad, touchpad', 'notes': None, 'grammar': 'n'}],
     'context': 'tablero con teclas',
     'from_example': 'No me funciona bien el teclado del portátil.',
     'to_example': ["The laptop keyboard isn't working well."]}]},
  {'title': 'Additional Translations',
   'entries': [{'from_word': {'source': 'teclado', 'grammar': 'nm'},
     'to_word': [{'meaning': 'keyboard', 'notes': 'music', 'grammar': 'n'}],
     'context': 'piano electrónico',
     'from_example': 'Aprendí a tocar el teclado de adolescente.',
