Script for work with Google-Translate-API . Python

To work with the Google Translate API using Python, you can use the googletrans library, which is a wrapper around the Google Translate API. Below is a simple script demonstrating how to use this library to translate text.

First, you need to install the library:

pip install googletrans==4.0.0-rc1

Here’s a basic example script to translate text using the googletrans library:

from googletrans import Translator

def translate_text(text, src_lang='auto', dest_lang='en'):
    translator = Translator()
    try:
        translated = translator.translate(text, src=src_lang, dest=dest_lang)
        return translated.text
    except Exception as e:
        print(f"An error occurred: {e}")
        return None

if __name__ == "__main__":
    # Example usage
    original_text = "Hola, ¿cómo estás?"
    src_language = 'es'  # Spanish
    dest_language = 'en'  # English

    translated_text = translate_text(original_text, src_language, dest_language)
    if translated_text:
        print(f"Original text: {original_text}")
        print(f"Translated text: {translated_text}")

This script performs the following steps:

1. Imports the Translator class from the googletrans library.
2. Defines a function translate_text that takes the text to be translated, the source language, and the target language as arguments.
3. Uses the Translator object to perform the translation and handles any exceptions that might occur.
4. In the if __name__ == "__main__": block, demonstrates how to use the translate_text function with an example.

You can modify the src_language and dest_language variables to translate between different languages. The src_lang parameter can be set to 'auto' to automatically detect the source language.

Feel free to expand on this script or integrate it into a larger application as needed.
