Writing a console translator for * nix in Python
Hello. Surely you met unfamiliar English words or phrases, and you constantly had to go into the browser, open a website with an online translator and translate, while thinking how good it would be if it were implemented as software under * nix.
Under Windows operating systems, there have been many translators for a long time, but for unix systems, personally, I have not yet met.
And so we begin, we will write in the programming language python. It is in almost all * nix systems.
To write a translator, we will need one library not included in the standard python set - simplejson. You can download it on the official website .
')
Once downloaded, you can either install into the system, or put the folder simplesjon located in the archive next to our executable python file.
Got simplejson? Now create the translate.py file and move from theory to practice.
You can program in anything, even in nano, but I prefer the editor Geany.
We should get this structure of the project:
We will not touch the library, so go to the file translate.py:
We import the libraries we need:
The most important and only function
Just in case, I will publish the whole code:
At this development of the software is complete. You can check and run the file this way:
python translate.py en hello - will translate the text into English
python translate.py ru hello - will translate the text into Russian
“But this is not convenient,” you say. Indeed, typing such a large startup command in the console is really difficult.
Take the folder with the project and move it to some directory such as / usr / share
and we will have / usr / share / translate
Then in your BINDIR'e (on my debian - / usr / bin) we will create 2 files, en and ru:
Our system now has 2 new commands: en and ru, respectively.
Now it has become much more convenient to use: en text for translation or ru text for translation
You can still do this:
Virtually any program has its drawbacks: this one is the absence of a local database, the entire translation is carried out via the Internet. But in the age of Internet technologies, when the Internet is in every home - I think this is not a problem.
Thanks for attention.
UPD: I do not impose my opinion on anyone, I showed how I realized it

On your marks!

“But this is not convenient,” you say. Indeed, typing such a large startup command in the console is really difficult.
Decision
Take the folder with the project and move it to some directory such as / usr / share
and we will have / usr / share / translate
Then in your BINDIR'e (on my debian - / usr / bin) we will create 2 files, en and ru:
The contents of the file / usr / bin / ru:
python /usr/share/translate/translate.py ru $$*The contents of the / usr / bin / en file:
python /usr/share/translate/translate.py en $$*Total:
Our system now has 2 new commands: en and ru, respectively.
Now it has become much more convenient to use: en text for translation or ru text for translation
You can still do this:
ferym@ferym-desktop:~$ ping -c 3 ya.ru | xargs ru $* PING ya.ru (77.88.21.3) 56 (84) . 64 www.yandex.ru (77.88.21.3): icmp_seq = 1 TTL = 60 = 6,20 64 www.yandex.ru (77.88.21.3): 2 = icmp_seq TTL = 60 = 4,10 64 www.yandex.ru (77.88.21.3): icmp_seq = 3 TTL = 60 = 3,78 --- ya.ru --- 3 , , 3 , 0% , 2001ms RTT / / / mdev = 3.787/4.698/6.207/1.074 Minuses:
Virtually any program has its drawbacks: this one is the absence of a local database, the entire translation is carried out via the Internet. But in the age of Internet technologies, when the Internet is in every home - I think this is not a problem.
