Introduction

Translating software is widely used to identify and translate a foreign language into a native language and vice versa. In this blog, we are going to see how to create a Google translate using python

Requirements

pip install googletrans==3.1.0a0
pip install pyttsx3

googletrans is used for translating foreign language to the desired language pyttsx3 is used for text to speech

Code

Headers

from tkinter import *
import googletrans
from googletrans import Translator
import pyttsx3

Tkinter is used for the GUI of the application. googletrans is used for translating foreign language to the desired language. pyttsx3 is used for text to speech

Setting up a title

tk = Tk()
tk.title('Google translate')
tk.config(bg=glb_color)

tk is the main window of the application

Getting input from the user

source=Frame(tk,bg=glb_color)

source_msg=Label(source,text="IN",font=("bold",20),bg=glb_color)
source_msg.grid(row=0,column=0)
text_box = Text(source,height=10,width=30,font=(25))
text_box.insert('end', message)
text_box.grid(row=1,column=0,padx=20,pady=20)

source.grid(row=0,column=0,padx=10,pady=40)

source(Frame):- It is the left part of the application. source_msg(Label):- It is used to display the input language text_box(Text):- It is used to get the Input language

Controls

control=Frame(tk,bg=glb_color)

translate_to=Label(control,text="Translate to: ",font=("bold",15),bg=glb_color)
translate_to.grid(row=0,column=0,padx=10)

menu= StringVar()
menu.set("Select Any Language")
languages={}
languages1=[]
glanguages=googletrans.LANGUAGES


for i in glanguages:
    languages[glanguages[i]]=i
    languages1.append(glanguages[i])

drop= OptionMenu(control, menu,*languages1)
drop.config(font=("bold",10))
drop.grid(row=1,column=0,padx=30,pady=10)

trans=Button(control,text="Translate",font=("bold",12),command=google_trans_fun,width=20)
trans.grid(row=2,column=0,pady=10)

pronunciation=Button(control,text="pronunciation",font=("bold",12),command=trans_pronountiation,width=20)
pronunciation.grid(row=3,column=0,pady=10)

control.grid(row=0,column=1)

control(Frame):- It is the middle part of the application translate_to(Label):- It is used to display "Translate to" menu(StringVar):- It is used to set the desired language glanguages(variable):- It is used to get languages from the library drop(OptionMenu):- It is used for dropdown menu trans(Button):- It will invoke the google_trans_fun() function pronunciation(Button):- It will invoke the trans_pronountiation() function

Showing the output

dest=Frame(tk,bg=glb_color)
dest_msg=Label(dest,text="OUT",font=("bold",20),bg=glb_color)
dest_msg.grid(row=0,column=0)
text_box1 = Text(dest,height=10,width=30,font=(25))
text_box1.insert('end', message)
text_box1.grid(row=1,column=0,padx=20,pady=20)
dest.grid(row=0,column=2,padx=10,pady=40)

source(Frame):- It is the right part of the application. source_msg(Label):- It is used to display the output language text_box1(Text):- It is used to display the output desired language

Functions

google_trans_fun()

def google_trans_fun():
    global text_box,text_box1,menu,source_msg,dest_msg,languages1,languages,glanguages,whats_in_translate
    translator = Translator()

    source_lang=translator.detect(text_box.get("1.0", "end-1c"))
    trans_to=menu.get()
    translated=translator.translate(text_box.get("1.0", "end-1c"), dest=languages[trans_to])

    if translated.pronunciation!=None:
        whats_in_translate=translated.pronunciation
    else:
        whats_in_translate=text_box1.get("1.0", "end-1c")


    text_box1.delete("1.0","end")
    text_box1.insert('end', translated.text)
    source_msg.config(text=glanguages[source_lang.lang].capitalize())
    dest_msg.config(text=trans_to.capitalize())

In this function it will get the input from text_box then it will translate to the desired language based on the option selected and display it in the text_box1

trans_pronountiation()

def trans_pronountiation():
    global whats_in_translate,text_box
    engine = pyttsx3.init()
    voices = engine.getProperty('voices')
    engine.setProperty('voice', voices[1].id)
    engine.setProperty('rate', 200)
    engine.say(whats_in_translate)
    engine.runAndWait()

In this function, it will tell the user what's the pronunciation of the translated language
