The code was created for the MLH (Major League Hacking) challenge, specifically for the beginners week. Since it is my first attempt in any hackathon, I wanted to keep it simple but also use intimidating web development in some way.
The code stores translation of 'Hello World!' in 76 languages used worldwide. The taipy GUI contains a slider to select first letter of language. Based on the selection, we see the list of languages starting with this letter and their corresponding translations of 'Hello World!'. To use graphs provided by taipy, there are also graphs showing interesting analysis of languages.
Utilizing Python and leveraging the taipy library, we crafted a script that populates a dictionary with 'hello world' phrases in various languages. The GUI allows users to interactively explore these phrases and visualize language distribution based on their initial letters.
- Integrating the
taipylibrary for GUI implementation, given that it was the first attempt using this tool. - Structuring and organizing the code efficiently to manage language data and GUI elements.
- Handling data manipulation and visualization.
- Deploying application to Taipy cloud.
- Successfully implementing 'Hello World!' in numerous spoken languages, providing an educational and interactive tool.
- Overcoming the challenges of integrating a new library,
taipy, and effectively using it for GUI development. - Creating an aesthetically pleasing and functional interface for exploring language phrases.
- This fits into MLH's multiple categories:
- Hello, World!
- Finding and Using Libraries
- Create a Useless Hack
- Try an Intimidating Technology
- Familiarization with the
taipylibrary for GUI development. - Enhanced skills in data manipulation and visualization using
pandasfor diverse language sets. - Problem-solving techniques when handling a large dataset within a graphical interface context.
- Using translator for any input text, not just 'Hello World!'
