good day bhw members

this is a follow up to yuemyutu's method posted here

i've created a script in python to automate this and save us from the copying and pasting

first off u need to download python from

HTML:

http://www.python.org/download

next u need to add it to your dos path
info can be found here

HTML:

http://www.python.org/doc/faq/windows/

i have attached the script (translator.txt)
save it and change its extension to .py

now start up command prompt , access the destination folder, and type in
python translator.py

it'll ask you what needs to be translated
paste your content and press enter
a new file called translated.txt will be created in the same folder where you have stored translator.py with the google translation

obviously u need to touch up this content a little for possible errors.

hope this helps someone.

i'm sorry i forgot to mention a few things up there

if u read the script, u'll notice this line:
data = "http://translate.google.com/translate_a/t?client=t&%s&sl=de&tl=en" % urllib.urlencode({'text':trans})

u can customize the translation by changing the 'sl=' and 'tl=' parameters
sl would be the source language and tl is the translate to language

the script i have provided follows this pattern
english ->spanish->englsih->french->german->english

u can change or add more combinations as per need

So this basically uses the google translator, so it's the same result if you translate it from the google's site?

I was trying tweak the script a little bit and have it read from a text file.... but somehow it's failing

myfile = open("test.txt", "r")
text = myfile.read()
myfile.close()
print text

Any ideas how i can make that work?

Great job nikhil88.

This really does actually work! The grammar structure is retained very well and the cleaning up necessary is usually small.

abantu - I tried to make a simple old batch file to run it but no dice - it wouldn't accept the text paste into the DOS window. The instructions given by nikhil88 work so I'm happy to leave it at that at present.
