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 somehow,most of them are buggy, not supported anymore or complex.

Therefore, I decided to build this simple tool, it is clean and easy to use and provide support for all languages since it uses google translate under the hood. More features are coming soon, mainly support for the PONS translator and others.

Basically, my goal is to integrate support for multiple famous translators in this tool starting with google translate

Features

• deep-translator uses google translate to translate a text. Therefore, all languages are supported

• TODO: add support for the PONS translator (pons.com)

Usage

To use deep_translator in a project:

from deep_translator import GoogleTranslator

english_text = 'happy coding'
chinese_text = '這很好'

# first create a GoogleTranslator object with source and target language
# then use the translate function to translate a text.
# All language are supported. Basic example:
result_german = GoogleTranslator(source='auto', target='de').translate(payload=english_text)
result_french = GoogleTranslator(source='auto', target='fr').translate(payload=chinese_text)

# Alternatively, you can pass languages by their name:
result_german = GoogleTranslator(source='english', target='german').translate(payload=english_text)
result_french = GoogleTranslator(source='auto', target='french').translate(payload=chinese_text)

# soon also support for the PONS translator.
