# Translator
A Chinese-English translation tool using OpenAI-compatible APIs.
## Features
- Chinese → English translation
- English → Chinese translation
## Requirements
No external dependencies required. Uses Python standard library only.
Python 3.6+ is required.
## Installation
```bash
git clone
cd translator
```
## Configuration
Edit `.env` file with your API settings. Supports OpenAI-compatible APIs:
**OpenAI:**
```env
API_KEY=sk-xxx
BASE_URL=https://api.openai.com/v1
MODEL=gpt-4o
```
**DeepSeek:**
```env
API_KEY=sk-xxx
BASE_URL=https://api.deepseek.com
MODEL=deepseek-chat
```
**Other compatible providers** (Anthropic, local LLMs, etc.) work similarly.
## Usage
Run the script:
```bash
python translator.py
```
Or create a symlink for global access:
```bash
sudo ln -s /path/to/translator/translator.py /usr/local/bin/tt
```
Then use directly:
```bash
tt
```
Follow the prompts to select translation direction and input your text.
## Example
```
Select translation direction:
1. Chinese -> English
2. English -> Chinese
Enter option (1/2, default: 1): 1
Enter Chinese text (Ctrl+C or empty to exit):
> 你好，世界
Hello, world
> 今天天气怎么样
How's the weather today
>
Exit.
```
