======================= Translation for humans

A flexible FREE and UNLIMITED tool to translate between different languages in a simple way using multiple translators.

.. contents:: Table of Contents :depth: 3

========== Motivation

I needed to translate a text using python. It was hard to find a simple way to do it. There are other libraries that can be used for this task, but most of them are buggy, not free, limited, not supported anymore or complex to use.

Therefore, I decided to build this simple tool. It is 100% free, unlimited, easy to use and provides support for all languages.

Basically, my goal was to integrate support for multiple famous translators in this tool.

====================== When you should use it

====================== Why you should use it

======== Features

============= Installation

Install the stable release:

.. code-block:: console

$ pip install -U deep-translator

$ poetry add deep-translator   # for poetry usage

take a look at the docs if you want to install from source.

Also, you can install extras if you want support for specific use case. For example, translating Docx and PDF files

.. code-block:: console

$ pip install deep-translator[docx]  # add support for docx translation

$ pip install deep-translator[pdf]  # add support for pdf translation

$ pip install deep-translator[ai]   # add support for ChatGpt

$ poetry add deep-translator --extras "docx pdf ai"   # for poetry usage

============ Quick Start

.. code-block:: python

from deep_translator import GoogleTranslator

# Use any translator you like, in this example GoogleTranslator
translated = GoogleTranslator(source='auto', target='de').translate("keep it up, you are awesome")  # output -> Weiter so, du bist großartig

or using proxies:

.. code-block:: python

from deep_translator import GoogleTranslator

proxies_example = {
    "https": "34.195.196.27:8080",
    "http": "34.195.196.27:8080"
}
translated = GoogleTranslator(source='auto', target='de', proxies=proxies_example).translate("keep it up, you are awesome")  # output -> Weiter so, du bist großartig

or even directly from terminal:

.. code-block:: console

$ deep-translator --source "en" --target "de" --text "hello world"

or shorter

$ dt -tg de -txt "hello world"

===== Usage

In this section, demos on how to use all different integrated translators in this tool are provided.

.. note::

You can always pass the languages by the name or by abbreviation.

*Example*: If you want to use english as a source or target language, you can pass **english** or **en** as an argument

.. note::

For all translators that require an ApiKey, you can either specify it as an argument to the translator class
or you can export it as an environment variable, this way you won't have to provide it to the class.

*Example*: export OPENAI_API_KEY="your_key"

Imports

.. code-block:: python

from deep_translator import (GoogleTranslator,
                             ChatGptTranslator,
                             MicrosoftTranslator,
                             PonsTranslator,
                             LingueeTranslator,
                             MyMemoryTranslator,
                             YandexTranslator,
                             PapagoTranslator,
                             DeeplTranslator,
                             QcriTranslator,
                             single_detection,
                             batch_detection)

Check Supported Languages

.. note::

You can check the supported languages of each translator by calling the
get_supported_languages function.

.. code-block:: python

# default return type is a list
langs_list = GoogleTranslator().get_supported_languages()  # output: [arabic, french, english etc...]

# alternatively, you can the dictionary containing languages mapped to their abbreviation
langs_dict = GoogleTranslator().get_supported_languages(as_dict=True)  # output: {arabic: ar, french: fr, english:en etc...}

Language Detection

.. note::

You can also detect language automatically. Notice that this package is free and my goal is to keep it free.
Therefore, you will need to get your own api_key if you want to use the language detection function.
I figured out you can get one for free here: https://detectlanguage.com/documentation

.. code-block:: python

lang = single_detection('bonjour la vie', api_key='your_api_key')
print(lang) # output: fr

.. code-block:: python

lang = batch_detection(['bonjour la vie', 'hello world'], api_key='your_api_key')
print(lang) # output: [fr, en]

Google Translate

.. code-block:: python

text = 'happy coding'

.. code-block:: python

translated = GoogleTranslator(source='auto', target='de').translate(text=text)

.. code-block:: python

translated = GoogleTranslator(source='auto', target='german').translate(text=text)

# Alternatively, you can pass languages by their abbreviation:
translated = GoogleTranslator(source='en', target='de').translate(text=text)

(Notice that this is important for performance too, since instantiating new objects is expensive)

.. code-block:: python

# let's say first you need to translate from auto to german
my_translator = GoogleTranslator(source='auto', target='german')
result = my_translator.translate(text=text)
print(f"Translation using source = {my_translator.source} and target = {my_translator.target} -> {result}")

# let's say later you want to reuse the class but your target is french now
# This is the best practice and how you should use deep-translator.
# Please don't over-instantiate translator objects without a good reason, otherwise you will run into performance issues
my_translator.target = 'fr'  # this will override the target 'german' passed previously
result = my_translator.translate(text=text)
print(f"Translation using source = {my_translator.source} and target = {my_translator.target} -> {result}")

# you can also update the source language as well
my_translator.source = 'en'  # this will override the source 'auto' passed previously
result = my_translator.translate(text=text)
print(f"Translation using source = {my_translator.source} and target = {my_translator.target} -> {result}")

.. code-block:: python

texts = ["hallo welt", "guten morgen"]

# the translate_sentences function is deprecated, use the translate_batch function instead
translated = GoogleTranslator('de', 'en').translate_batch(texts)

.. code-block:: python

path = "your_file.txt"

translated = GoogleTranslator(source='auto', target='german').translate_file(path)

Mymemory Translator

.. note::

As in google translate, you can use the automatic language detection with mymemory by using "auto" as an
argument for the source language. However, this feature in the mymemory translator is not so powerful as
in google translate.

.. code-block:: python

text = 'Keep it up. You are awesome'

translated = MyMemoryTranslator(source='auto', target='french').translate(text)

.. code-block:: python

texts = ["hallo welt", "guten morgen"]

# the translate_sentences function is deprecated, use the translate_batch function instead
translated = MyMemoryTranslator('de', 'en').translate_batch(texts)

.. code-block:: python

path = "your_file.txt"

translated = MyMemoryTranslator(source='en', target='fr').translate_file(path)

DeeplTranslator

.. note::

In order to use the DeeplTranslator translator, you need to generate an api key. Deepl offers a Pro and a free API.
deep-translator supports both Pro and free APIs. Just check the examples below.
Visit https://www.deepl.com/en/docs-api/ for more information on how to generate your Deepl api key

.. code-block:: python

text = 'Keep it up. You are awesome'

translated = DeeplTranslator(api_key="your_api_key", source="en", target="en", use_free_api=True).translate(text)

.. note:: deep-translator uses free deepl api by default. If you have the pro version then simply set the use_free_api to false.

.. code-block:: python

texts = ["hallo welt", "guten morgen"]

# the translate_sentences function is deprecated, use the translate_batch function instead
translated = DeeplTranslator("your_api_key").translate_batch(texts)

QcriTranslator

.. note::

In order to use the QcriTranslator translator, you need to generate a free api key. Visit https://mt.qcri.org/api/
for more information

.. code-block:: python

# as a property
print("language pairs: ", QcriTranslator("your_api_key").languages)

.. code-block:: python

# as a property
print("domains: ", QcriTranslator("your_api_key").domains)

.. code-block:: python

text = 'Education is great'

translated = QcriTranslator("your_api_key").translate(source='en', target='ar', domain="news", text=text)
# output -> التعليم هو عظيم

# see docs for batch translation and more.

Linguee Translator

.. code-block:: python

word = 'good'

.. code-block:: python

translated_word = LingueeTranslator(source='english', target='french').translate(word)

.. code-block:: python

# set the argument return_all to True if you want to get all synonyms of the word to translate
translated_word = LingueeTranslator(source='english', target='french').translate(word, return_all=True)

.. code-block:: python

translated_words = LingueeTranslator(source='english', target='french').translate_words(["good", "awesome"])

PONS Translator

.. note::

You can pass the languages by the name or by abbreviation just like
previous examples using GoogleTranslate

.. code-block:: python

word = 'awesome'

.. code-block:: python

translated_word = PonsTranslator(source='english', target='french').translate(word)

# pass language by their abbreviation
translated_word = PonsTranslator(source='en', target='fr').translate(word)

.. code-block:: python

# set the argument return_all to True if you want to get all synonyms of the word to translate
translated_word = PonsTranslator(source='english', target='french').translate(word, return_all=True)

.. code-block:: python

translated_words = PonsTranslator(source='english', target='french').translate_words(["good", "awesome"])

Yandex Translator

.. note::

You need to require a **private api key** if you want to use the yandex translator.
Visit the official website for more information about how to get one

.. code-block:: python

lang = YandexTranslator('your_api_key').detect('Hallo, Welt')
print(f"language detected: {lang}")  # output -> language detected: 'de'

.. code-block:: python

# with auto detection | meaning provide only the target language and let yandex detect the source
translated = YandexTranslator('your_api_key').translate(source="auto", target="en", text='Hallo, Welt')
print(f"translated text: {translated}")  # output -> translated text: Hello world

# provide source and target language explicitly
translated = YandexTranslator('your_api_key').translate(source="de", target="en", text='Hallo, Welt')
print(f"translated text: {translated}")  # output -> translated text: Hello world

.. code-block:: python

translated = YandexTranslator('your_api_key').translate_file(source="auto", target="en", path="path_to_your_file")

Proxy usage

deep-translator provides out of the box usage of proxies. Just define your proxies config as a dictionary and pass it to the corresponding translator. Below is an example using the GoogleTranslator, but this feature can be used with all supported translators.

.. code-block:: python

from deep_translator import GoogleTranslator

# define your proxy configs:
proxies_example = {
    "https": "your https proxy",  # example: 34.195.196.27:8080
    "http": "your http proxy if available"
}
translated = GoogleTranslator(source='auto', target='de', proxies=proxies_example).translate("this package is awesome")

File Translation

Deep-translator (version >= 1.9.4) supports not only text file translation, but docx and PDF files too. However, you need to install deep-translator using the specific extras.

For docx translation:

.. code-block:: console

pip install deep-translator[docx]

For PDF translation:

.. code-block:: console

pip install deep-translator[pdf]

Here is sample code for translating text directly from files

.. code-block:: python

path = "example/test.pdf"

translated = GoogleTranslator(source='auto', target='german').translate_file(path)

Usage from Terminal

Deep-translator supports a series of command line arguments for quick and simple access to the translators directly in your console.

.. note::

The program accepts ``deep-translator`` or ``dt`` as a command, feel free to substitute whichever you prefer.

For a list of available translators:

.. code-block:: console

$ deep-translator list

To translate a string or line of text:

.. code-block:: console

$ deep_translator google --source "english" --target "german" --text "happy coding"

Alternate short option names, along with using language abbreviations:

.. code-block:: console

$ deep_translator google -src "en" -tgt "de" -txt "happy coding"

Finally, to retrieve a list of available languages for a given translator:

.. code-block:: console

$ deep-translator languages google

=========== Swagger UI

deep-translator offers an api server for easy integration with other applications. Non python applications can communicate with the api directly and leverage the features of deep-translator

Access the api here: https://deep-translator-api.azurewebsites.net/docs

=========================== The Translator++ mobile app

.. image:: ../assets/app-icon.png :width: 100 :alt: Icon of the app

You can download and try the app on play store https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.translator.translator&hl=en_US&gl=US

After developing the deep-translator, I realized how cool this would be if I can use it as an app on my mobile phone. Sure, there is google translate, pons and linguee apps etc.. but isn't it cooler to make an app where all these translators are integrated?

Long story short, I started working on the app. I decided to use the kivy framework <https://kivy.org/#home/> since I wanted to code in python and to develop a cross platform app. I open sourced the Translator++ app <https://github.com/nidhaloff/deep-translator-app/> on my github too. Feel free to take a look at the code or make a pull request ;)

.. note:: The Translator++ app is based on the deep-translator package. I just built the app to prove the capabilities of the deep-translator package ;)

I published the first release on google play store on 02-08-2020

Here are some screenshots:
