ANNOUNCEMENT: `v4.0 is planned `_.



Googletrans is a **free** and **unlimited** python library that

implemented Google Translate API. This uses the `Google Translate Ajax

API `__ to make calls to such methods as

detect and translate.



Compatible with Python 3.6+.



For details refer to the `API

Documentation `__.



Features

--------



-  Fast and reliable - it uses the same servers that

   translate.google.com uses

-  Auto language detection

-  Bulk translations

-  Customizable service URL

-  HTTP/2 support



TODO

~~~~



more features are coming soon.



-  Proxy support

-  Internal session management (for better bulk translations)



HTTP/2 support

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



This library uses httpx for HTTP requests so HTTP/2 is supported by default.



You can check if http2 is enabled and working by the `._response.http_version` of `Translated` or `Detected` object:



.. code:: python



   >>> translator.translate('테스트')._response.http_version

   # 'HTTP/2'



How does this library work

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



You may wonder why this library works properly, whereas other

approaches such like goslate won't work since Google has updated its

translation service recently with a ticket mechanism to prevent a lot of

crawler programs.



I eventually figure out a way to generate a ticket by reverse

engineering on the `obfuscated and minified code used by Google to

generate such

token `__,

and implemented on the top of Python. However, this could be blocked at

any time.



--------------



Installation

------------



To install, either use things like pip with the package "googletrans"

or download the package and put the "googletrans" directory into your

python path.



.. code:: bash



    $ pip install googletrans



Basic Usage

-----------



If source language is not given, google translate attempts to detect the

source language.



.. code:: python



    >>> from googletrans import Translator

    >>> translator = Translator()

    >>> translator.translate('안녕하세요.')

    # 

    >>> translator.translate('안녕하세요.', dest='ja')

    # 

    >>> translator.translate('veritas lux mea', src='la')

    # 



Customize service URL

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



You can use another google translate domain for translation. If multiple

URLs are provided, it then randomly chooses a domain.



.. code:: python



    >>> from googletrans import Translator

    >>> translator = Translator(service_urls=[

          'translate.google.com',

          'translate.google.co.kr',

        ])



Customize service URL to point to standard api

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



Considering translate.google. url services use the webapp requiring a token, 

you can prefer to use the direct api than does not need any token to process.

It can solve your problems of unstable token providing processes (refer to issue #234)



.. code:: python



    >>> from googletrans import Translator

    >>> translator = Translator(service_urls=[

          'translate.googleapis.com'

        ])



Advanced Usage (Bulk)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



Array can be used to translate a batch of strings in a single method

call and a single HTTP session. The exact same method shown above works

for arrays as well.



.. code:: python



    >>> translations = translator.translate(['The quick brown fox', 'jumps over', 'the lazy dog'], dest='ko')

    >>> for translation in translations:

    ...    print(translation.origin, ' -> ', translation.text)

    # The quick brown fox  ->  빠른 갈색 여우

    # jumps over  ->  이상 점프

    # the lazy dog  ->  게으른 개



Language detection

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



The detect method, as its name implies, identifies the language used in

a given sentence.



.. code:: python



    >>> from googletrans import Translator

    >>> translator = Translator()

    >>> translator.detect('이 문장은 한글로 쓰여졌습니다.')

    # 

    >>> translator.detect('この文章は日本語で書かれました。')

    # 

    >>> translator.detect('This sentence is written in English.')

    # 

    >>> translator.detect('Tiu frazo estas skribita en Esperanto.')

    # 



GoogleTrans as a command line application

-----------------------------------------



.. code:: bash



    $ translate -h

    usage: translate [-h] [-d DEST] [-s SRC] [-c] text



    Python Google Translator as a command-line tool



    positional arguments:

      text                  The text you want to translate.



    optional arguments:

      -h, --help            show this help message and exit

      -d DEST, --dest DEST  The destination language you want to translate.

                            (Default: en)

      -s SRC, --src SRC     The source language you want to translate. (Default:

                            auto)

      -c, --detect



    $ translate "veritas lux mea" -s la -d en

    [veritas] veritas lux mea

        ->

    [en] The truth is my light

    [pron.] The truth is my light



    $ translate -c "안녕하세요."

    [ko, 1] 안녕하세요.

Note on library usage

---------------------



DISCLAIMER: this is an unofficial library using the web API of translate.google.com

and also is not associated with Google.



-  **The maximum character limit on a single text is 15k.**



-  Due to limitations of the web version of google translate, this API

   does not guarantee that the library would work properly at all times

   (so please use this library if you don't care about stability).



-  **Important:** If you want to use a stable API, I highly recommend you to use

   `Google's official translate

   API `__.



-  If you get HTTP 5xx error or errors like #6, it's probably because

   Google has banned your client IP address.

Versioning

----------



This library follows `Semantic Versioning `__ from

v2.0.0. Any release versioned 0.x.y is subject to backwards incompatible

changes at any time.
