      -f, --from TEXT           Sets the language of the text being translated.
                                The default value is 'autodetect'.

Change Default Languages

In ~/.python-translate.cfg:

.. code-block:: bash

[DEFAULT] from_lang = autodetect to_lang = de provider = mymemory secret_access_key =

The cfg is not for use as a Python module.

or run the command line and follow the steps:

.. code-block:: bash

$ translate-cli --generate-config-file
Translate from [autodetect]:
Translate to: <language you want to translate>
Provider [mymemory]:
Secret Access Key []:

Use As A Python Module

.. code-block:: python

In [1]: from translate import Translator In [2]: translator = Translator(to_lang="zh") In [3]: translation = translator.translate("This is a pen.") Out [3]: 这是一支笔

The result is usually a unicode string.

Use a different translation provider


.. code-block:: python

    In [1]: from translate import Translator
    In [2]: to_lang = 'zh'
    In [3]: secret = '<your secret from Microsoft or DeepL>'
    In [4]: translator = Translator(provider='<the name of the provider, eg. microsoft or deepl>', to_lang=to_lang, secret_access_key=secret)
    In [5]: translator.translate('the book is on the table')
    Out [5]: '碗是在桌子上。'

The DeepL Provider
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
To use DeepL's pro API, pass an additional parameter named pro to the Translator object and set it to True and use your pro authentication key as the secret_access_key

.. code-block:: python

    In: translator = Translator(provider='microsoft', to_lang=to_lang, secret_access_key=secret, pro=True)
