Free google translate (python in termux)

[Dimlos]

This macro allows you to use Google Translate for free, but it is limited and unreliable.
For reliability, please use the regular API.

Please see the following thread for basic configuration of Termux and Termux:Tasker.

This time pkg install nmap and pkg install android-tools are not necessary.

apt update
apt upgrade
pkg install vim
pkg install python
pip3 install googletrans==4.0.0-rc1
mkdir -p ~/.termux/tasker
cd ~/.termux/tasker

Copy translate.py to the designated location using the following procedure.

Import and execute macros.
Set parameters in local variables.

"terget_lang" specifies the target language for translation.
The source language is automatically recognized, but words that are too short will be misrecognized.

In the "text" field, enter the text you wish to translate.
When the macro is executed, the translated text will be displayed in "output".

Thanks! That's great! I will check it out later!

 

[Dimlos]

Everyone seems interested, but I am hesitant because Termux is CUI.
If it works, please let me know.
If you have any stumbling blocks along the way, please write to me and I will explain them additionally.

Thanks! It worked, but sometimes the translation doesn't go through, getting this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):

    result = translator.translate(text, dest=terget_lang)

As I tried to fix the code, I got here:

where I found there are other methods for translating:

Found a Google Translate endpoint that doesn't require an API key. · Issue #268 · ssut/py-googletrans

This isn't a bug report, just a sharing of some findings while looking through minified source code. While digging through the source code of Google's Google Dictionary Chrome extension, which has ...

Where Animenosekai suggested this solution that proved to work reliably:

from json import loads
from requests import get
request_result = get("https://translate.googleapis.com/translate_a/single?client=gtx&dt=t&sl=en&tl=fr&q=Hello")
translated_text = loads(request_result.text)[0][0][0]
print(translated_text)

Finally getting this code, which I saved it as google_translate_alternative_macrodroid_termux.py:

#!/bin/env python

import sys
import re
from json import loads
from requests import get

text = sys.argv[1]
terget_lang = sys.argv[2]
request_url = f"https://translate.googleapis.com/translate_a/single?client=gtx&dt=t&sl=auto&tl={terget_lang}&q={text}"
request_result = get(request_url)
translated_text = loads(request_result.text)[0][0][0]

encoded_text = translated_text.encode(sys.stdout.encoding, errors='replace')
decoded_text = encoded_text.decode(sys.stdout.encoding)
print(decoded_text)

Here you can see the py file (saved as zip) and the macro file that I got.


This google translate API can be converted into a macro where it uses an HTTP request, removing the need for Termux, as such:

Below I've attached Test_google_translation.macro.

I can't say for sure since I've only tried it on one device, but if it works in your environment, that's fine.
I like Termux and will continue to use my scripts as long as there are no serious errors.

 

[Dimlos]

I think Animenosekai has analyzed what googletrans is doing internally.
I think that's great, and it's great that he was able to figure it out and make it possible to complete it with an HTTP request.

But I have tested my script about 50 times with no errors.
During development, I often got errors when I didn't pass parameters correctly...
