Installation

This script is written for Windows. Believe it's a hard way to setup but an easy one to use :).

1. Python 37 on Windows 10.
2. Upgrade pip by pip install -U pip.
3. Install aws-cli from https://aws.amazon.com/cli/ and initiate aws by aws configure.
4. Install MeCab from https://github.com/ikegami-yukino/mecab/releases/tag/v0.996. Add the /bin directory $PATH.
5. Make additional dictionary by mecab-ipadic-neologd. Since it's hard to build on Windows 10, I suggest build it on Ubuntu WSL and copy all the files under /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/mecab/dic/mecab-ipadic-neologd into C:\neologd\ if you want the newest dictionary. Here's a pre-built dictionary on 2019-05-11.
6. NOTICE: We use pydub's ffmpeg binding to play TTS mp3 audio. If you want to enable TTS, download ffmpeg from https://ffmpeg.zeranoe.com/builds/ or just ignore the warning. We won't cache audio so you should mind of its costs.
7. Install requirements by pip install -r requirements.txt. If your system default encoding is not UTF-8, you might fail on installing the romkan package. Usually neither chcp nor locale.setdefaultencoding() won't solve this problem. I suggest manually download romkan source code and replace line 12 README = open(os.path.join(here, 'README.rst')).read() to README = open(os.path.join(here, 'README.rst'), encoding="utf-8").read(). Then run python .\setup.py install.
8. Copy a file of config.ini.example and rename it to config.ini. Fill in the appid and the secretkey, make sure Natural Language Translation of this app is enabled.
9. Run the script by python .\cp2trans\cp2trans.py or install cp2trans by python setup.py install (in this way you can pass step 8).

• The easier way if your computer has been configured:

pip install cp2trans

Upgrade

Be sure to backup your config.ini before upgrading. It will be overwritten.
