Python language translator code

In this post, you will learn how to translate language using Python program.

Translation is important for the spreading new data, information, and thoughts across the world. It is totally important to accomplish successful correspondence between various cultures. When we are spreading new information, translation is something that can change history. Sometime, we are trying to say something to someone who doesn't understand our language, and we want or need them to understand, language translator is the only solution.

Python provides flexible deep-translator tool to translate between different languages in a simple way. We can use this module to translate language, detect language, translate from a file, compare different translations and much more.

The following command installs the deep translator module -

pip install deep_translator

Code to translate language

from deep_translator import GoogleTranslator
translated = GoogleTranslator(source='auto', target='de').translate("Well done John! Keep it up!")

print(translated)

Check supported language

We can also check all supported languages of translators. The following code displays lists of all supported languages by google translator -

langs_list = GoogleTranslator.get_supported_languages(as_dict=True)


for language, abbreviation in langs_list.items():
  print("language :  {} abbreviation :  {}".format(language, abbreviation))

Output of the above code - Python language translator code
