A small Qt-based Translator using the google translator API + file importing, supporting only EN+DE+RU because im too lazy to add the full list of languages
This programm uses
- googletrans (https://pypi.org/project/googletrans/)
- PyQt5 (https://pypi.org/project/PyQt5/)
- python-docx to extract text from .doc files (https://pypi.org/project/python-docx/)
- odfpy to extract text from .odt files(https://pypi.org/project/odfpy/)
- tika to extract text from .pdf files (https://pypi.org/project/tika/)
and a variety of built-in python modules
Navigate to the root folder of the project.
Install the requirements with pip install -r requirements.txt
To build an executable, simply pip install cx-Freeze, then Python export.py build.
This program is a translator, thus obviously focusing on translating.
Here is an overview over the main GUIs functionality:
There are three ways to translate text with this tool:
- Enter text manually into the "Input" Textbox
- Via the "Import..." menu button, you can import a:
- file (made to work with .txt, .doc, .odt or .pdf, might work with other plain-text formats)
- website (should work with any kind of website)
The supported languages as of now are English, German and Russian (works with latin and kyrillic letters)
There are a few preferences that you can set in the "Settings" menu:
- Removing URLs from Siteimport
- Automatically saving the translated result as a .txt file
- Automatically saving the imported source website as a .pdf
- Leetspeech. Because reasons.
After making use of the Import Site function a couple times, you will probably experience your device going slower and slower. To solve this, close the process QtWebEngine in your task manager. This is a bug in PyQt5 thats probably causing the pdf printer to stay opened.
The translated text will be cut off after 5000 characters, this is a limitation by the Google Translate API.
The main window was built with QtDesigner.
