Deeplator is a Python library and application enabling translation via the DeepL translator available at deepl.com.
In August 2017, DeepL released the DeepL translator. With unprecedented translation quality, the DeepL translator sets a new standard in neural machine translation. Check out deepl.com to get more information.
Currently, the supported languages include English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Dutch and Polish.
Using the application is straight forward.
Basically, you just need to launch deeplator.py.
The -l LANG argument specifies the source and output languages.
LANG is the translation code in the format AA-BB where AA ist the source language code and BB is the output language code.
See the table below for all language codes.
For example, if you were to translate from English to German, the argument should be -l EN-DE.
| Language | Code |
|---|---|
| English | EN |
| German | DE |
| French | FR |
| Spanish | ES |
| Italian | IT |
| Dutch | NL |
| Polish | PL |
You can tell Deeplator to read input from a file using the -f PATH argument.
When ommitted, Deeplator will read input from stdin instead.
Remember to exit the multiline input with Ctrl+D.
The Deeplator library was written for Python 3.
from deeplator import Translator
t = Translator("EN", "DE")
sentence = "Hello world."
translation = t.translate_sentence(sentence)
print(translation)The DeepL translator can only translate one sentence at a time. To translate multiple sentences, you have to split them first. Fortunately, the DeepL API supports this functionality.
from deeplator import Translator
t = Translator("EN", "DE")
paragraph = "Hello world. DeepL is awesome."
sentences = t.split_into_sentences(paragraph)
translations = t.translate_sentences(sentences)
print(translations)
