libretrans

A command line tool for translating using the libretranslate API

Examples

Basic usage:

$ libretrans en:fr "Hello World"
Bonjour à tous

A verbose flag can also be used:

$ libretrans -v fr:en "C'est la vie!"
French: "C'est la vie!"
English: "It's life!"

As of right now, libretranslate.com needs a key while they upgrade, so you can input a custom url to another instance:

$ libretrans -u https://libretranslate.de en:es "This is a test"
Esta es una prueba
