Display translated lyrics of the currently playing Spotify track in real-time, extremely simple to use! It is 2024 but for some reason Spotify still doesn't provide a native solution to translate lyrics of non-English songs, so I had to come up with this solution.
To get started, install the required Python packages:
pip3 install syrics
pip install deep-translator
pip install sv-ttkNow download app.py. You only need to edit this part in the code (the 12th line):
sp = Spotify("your_sp_dc")Follow the instructions here to find your Spotify sp_dc key: Finding sp_dc
Run the app.py with this command, that's it!
python app.py
You should see the GUI application, which will stay open until closed and will show translated lyrics of each song in real-time. Yes it is as simple as running a single .py file, weren't you supposed to clone 5 Github repos and launch 3 Docker containers? 😂

The program uses the Google Translate API to translate lyrics from any language to English, which often takes 2-3 seconds. It builds a cache of lyrics of the last played 1000 songs to prevent translating the same songs repeatedly. You can change the cache size to any value (or 0 to disable it altogether). The cache will be written/read to the lyrics_cache.pkl file.

However if it is about this program, it will be better if you raise an issue in the repo or submit a PR so everyone can see and contribute to the discussion.
