translate

Command line client for Google's Cloud Translation API

Requirements

You'll need to sign up for Cloud Translation to get your API Key.

go get -u github.com/romantomjak/translate

To translate with automatic source language detection:

$ export TRANSLATE_KEY=xxx
$ export TRANSLATE_TO=en
$ translate kuģis
ship

if that doesn't work, you can specify source language manually:

$ translate -from lv kuģis
ship

You can, of course, explicitly override environment values via arguments:

$ translate -key yyy -to fr kuģis
navire

By default each space separated argument is treated as a word and will get translated on its own line like so:

$ translate mans kuģis ir visskaistākais
my
ship
and
the most beautiful

To translate whole sentences, wrap it in quotes like so:

$ translate "mans kuģis ir visskaistākais"
my ship is the most beautiful

You can contribute in many ways and not just by changing the code! If you have
