# How to create a Google translate using python

# 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)
``` 
![sc23.png](https://cdn.hashnode.com/res/hashnode/image/upload/v1652711790579/qOUN3NN3U.png align="left")
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)

``` 

![sc24.png](https://cdn.hashnode.com/res/hashnode/image/upload/v1652711975139/ZYmVTiTuV.png align="left")
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)
``` 

![sc26.png](https://cdn.hashnode.com/res/hashnode/image/upload/v1652712407388/mCjkz58Jl.png align="left")

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
