Problem in using google translate in rtl language

[MohammadrezaTazian]

Hi
When google translates a word to rtl language, it is shown like picture:

Wait, how are you using Google Translate at all? How have you added it?

[MohammadrezaTazian]

I am using translate-shell. I act like following link:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/49972190/how-to-simply-implement-online-dictionaries-for-goldendict/

Of cource insted of fr(france)language,I am using fa(persian) language that is a rtl language.

Ahh... I assume you wouldn't know of an easy way to implement this in Windows, right?

[MohammadrezaTazian]

I use linux (ubuntu).

Did you sew this Python script for GoldenDict?

Not to derail this thread worse than I already did, but I installed that Python script per the instructions on the page, and I get this error in Goldendict:
Query error: The program has returned exit code 1. Traceback (most recent call last): File "D:\gt\googletranslate.py", line 43, in gtrans() File "D:\gt\googletranslate.py", line 37, in gtrans print(result.encode('gbk', 'ignore').decode('gbk')) File "D:\Python\Python37-32\lib\encodings\cp1255.py", line 19, in encode return codecs.charmap_encode(input,self.errors,encoding_table)[0] UnicodeEncodeError: 'charmap' codec can't encode characters in position 33-34: character maps to

hi you can use this command for translate english texts to fars/persian texts :
trans -e google -s en -t fa -show-original n -show-original-phonetics n -show-translation y -no-ansi -show-translation-phonetics n -show-prompt-message n -show-languages n -show-original-dictionary n -show-dictionary n -show-alternatives n "%GDWORD%" -no-bidi

trans -e google -s en -t fa -show-original n -show-original-phonetics n -show-translation y -no-ansi -show-translation-phonetics n -show-prompt-message n -show-languages n -show-original-dictionary n -show-dictionary n -show-alternatives n "%GDWORD%" -no-bidi

What is that?

BTW, Take a look on this Google Translate Shell-script (bash+curl+sed):

in before i write a program like this in 3 line : both program for me and you have same problem
when i try to translate multiple line text .program cant translate multiple lines becase of '.' and other symbol .

look just one line tranlated...
but with translate-shell we can translate multiple lines like this

my old program :
its can multiple line translate but not good like translate shell :

#!/usr/bin/env bash

text=$(sed 's/[\W \.]/+/g' <<< "$(xsel -o)"|sed ':a;N;$!ba;s/\n/+\\n+/g')

[[ $(egrep "[A-Za-z]" <<< "$text") ]] && type="fa" || type="en"

translated_text=$(curl -s "http://translate.googleapis.com/translate_a/single?client=gtx&sl=auto&tl=${type}&dt=t&q=${text}"|head -n1|cut -d'"' -f 2|sed 's/\\ n/n/g')

echo "$text > $type > $translated_text"

notify-send -u critical -t 30000 "$(echo -e "$translated_text")"
