======================= Translation for humans
A flexible FREE and UNLIMITED tool to translate between different languages in a simple way using multiple translators.
- Free software: MIT license
- Documentation: https://deep-translator.readthedocs.io.
========== 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 provide support for all languages.
Basically, my goal was to integrate support for multiple famous translators in this tool.
====================== When you should use it
- If you want to translate text using python

take a look at the docs if you want to install from source.
============ Quick Start
.. code-block:: python
from deep_translator import GoogleTranslator
translated = GoogleTranslator(source='auto', target='de').translate("keep it up, you are awesome") # output -> Weiter so, du bist großartig
or from terminal
.. code-block:: console
$ deep_translator -trans "google" -src "en" -tg "de" -txt "keep it up, you are awesome"
===== 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
Imports
.. code-block:: python
from deep_translator import (GoogleTranslator,
MicrosoftTranslator,
PonsTranslator,
LingueeTranslator,
MyMemoryTranslator,
YandexTranslator,
DeepL,
QCRI,
single_detection,
batch_detection)
Check Supported Languages
.. note::
You can check the supported languages of each translator by calling the
get_supported_languages function as a static method.
.. 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
- Single Text Detection
.. code-block:: python
lang = single_detection('bonjour la vie', api_key='your_api_key')
print(lang) # output: fr
- Batch Detection
.. 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'
- You can use automatic language detection to detect the source language:
.. code-block:: python
translated = GoogleTranslator(source='auto', target='de').translate(text=text)
- You can pass languages by name or by abbreviation:
.. 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)
- Translate batch of texts
.. 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)
- Translate from a file:
.. code-block:: python
translated = GoogleTranslator(source='auto', target='german').translate_file('path/to/file')
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.
- Simple translation
.. code-block:: python
text = 'Keep it up. You are awesome'
translated = MyMemoryTranslator(source='auto', target='french').translate(text)
- Translate batch of texts
.. 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)
- Translate from file
.. code-block:: python
path = "your_file.txt"
translated = MyMemoryTranslator(source='en', target='fr').translate_file(path)
DeepL Translator
.. note::
In order to use the DeepL translator, you need to generate an api key. Visit https://www.deepl.com/en/docs-api/
for more information
- Simple translation
.. code-block:: python
text = 'Keep it up. You are awesome'
translated = DeepL("your_api_key").translate(text)
- Translate batch of texts
.. code-block:: python
texts = ["hallo welt", "guten morgen"]
# the translate_sentences function is deprecated, use the translate_batch function instead
translated = DeepL("your_api_key").translate_batch(texts)
QCRI Translator
.. note::
In order to use the QCRI translator, you need to generate a free api key. Visit https://mt.qcri.org/api/
for more information
- Check languages
.. code-block:: python
# as a property
print("language pairs: ", QCRI("your_api_key").languages)
- Check domains
.. code-block:: python
# as a property
print("domains: ", QCRI("your_api_key").domains)
- Text translation
.. code-block:: python
text = 'Education is great'
translated = QCRI("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'
- Simple Translation
.. code-block:: python
translated_word = LingueeTranslator(source='english', target='french').translate(word)
# pass language by their abbreviation
translated_word = LingueeTranslator(source='en', target='fr').translate(word)
- Return all synonyms or words that matches
.. 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)
- Translate a batch of words
.. 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'
- Simple Translation
.. 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)
- Return all synonyms or words that matches
.. 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)
- Translate a batch of words
.. code-block:: python
translated_words = LingueeTranslator(source='english', target='french').translate_words(["good", "awesome"])
Yandex Translator
.. note::
You need to require an **private api key** if you want to use the yandex translator.
visit the official website for more information about how to get one
- Language detection
.. code-block:: python
lang = YandexTranslator('your_api_key').detect('Hallo, Welt')
print(f"language detected: {lang}") # output -> language detected: 'de'
- Text translation
.. 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
- File translation
.. code-block:: python
translated = YandexTranslator('your_api_key').translate_file(source="auto", target="en", path="path_to_your_file")

Required and optional attributes
There are two required attributes, namely "api_key" (string) and "target" (string or list). Attribute "source" is optional. Also, Microsoft API accepts a number of other optional attributes, you can find them here: https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/cognitive-services/translator/reference/v3-0-translate You can simply add them after the required attributes, see the example.
.. code-block:: python
text = 'happy coding'
translated = MicrosoftTranslator(api_key='some-key', target='de').translate(text=text)
translated_two_targets = MicrosoftTranslator(api_key='some-key', target=['de', 'ru']).translate(text=text)
translated_with_optional_attr = MicrosoftTranslator(api_key='some-key', target='de', textType='html']).translate(text=text)
- You can pass languages by name or by abbreviation:
.. code-block:: python
translated = MicrosoftTranslator(api_key='some-key', target='german').translate(text=text)
# Alternatively, you can pass languages by their abbreviation:
translated = MicrosoftTranslator(api_key='some-key', target='de').translate(text=text)
- Translate batch of texts
.. code-block:: python
texts = ["hallo welt", "guten morgen"]
translated = MicrosoftTranslator(api_key='some-key', target='english').translate_batch(texts)
- Translate from a file:
.. code-block:: python
translated = MicrosoftTranslator(api_key='some-key', target='german').translate_file('path/to/file')
Usage from Terminal
For a quick access, you can use the deep_translator from terminal. For this to work, you need to provide the right arguments, which are the translator you want to use, source language, target language and the text you want to translate.
For example, provide "google" as an argument to use the google translator. Alternatively you can use the other supported translators. Just read the documentation to have an overview about the supported translators in this library.
.. code-block:: console
$ deep_translator --translator "google" --source "english" --target "german" --text "happy coding"
Or you can go for the short version:
.. code-block:: console
$ deep_translator -trans "google" -src "english" -tg "german" -txt "happy coding"
If you want, you can also pass the source and target language by their abbreviation
.. code-block:: console
$ deep_translator -trans "google" -src "en" -tg "de" -txt "happy coding"
====== Tests
- Install dev requirements
.. code-block:: console
$ pip install -r requirements_dev.txt
- Or just install pytest
.. code-block:: console
$ pip install pytest
- you can run tests individually for each translator by passing the prefix test_ followed by the translator name as an argument to pytest.
.. code-block:: console
$ pytest test_google_trans
$ pytest test_linguee
$ pytest test_mymemory
$ pytest test_pons
- Alternatively, you can run the test suite
.. code-block:: console
$ pytest -ra

=========================== The Translator++ mobile app
.. image:: assets/app-icon.png :width: 100 :alt: Icon of the app
After developing the deep_translator, I realised 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
