Project compatibility & Expansion :heavy_plus_sign:
If you would like to translate audio books, YouTube videos or Zoom meetings, check out my project A2T_converter to first transcribe them into text files. These text files can then be translated by the software provided in this repository.
The same approach is required if you want your translations to be read out loudly. Translate them using this project and then use the text_2_speech.py module from the repository A2T_converter (https://github.com/sveneschlbeck/A2T_converter).

Note: If your terminal output is not showing all unicode symbols (e.g. Arabic letters or Chinese signs), choose a different font for the terminal, I recommend SimSun-ExtB.
Controls :arrow_down:
The program is very intuitive. Just follow the command line instructions and you'll be fine.
To quit the program at any time, press Q whenever a question is asked or click on the red X in the upper right terminal window corner.
If asked a question, reply by either pressing Y for 'yes', N for 'no', or Q to quit the program.
To confirm the given answer, press ⏎.
Hardware & Software Requirements :computer:
This program can be run without much computing power. It can be executed on any modern device using Microsoft's Windows operating system. Other OS may work but are not specifically supported.
lingopy is written in python and currently only available in the form of multiple python modules. Therefore, you need to download python in order to execute the program files (.py files). The required storage capacity depends on the user's behavior. It can range from a few KB when only translating short text files to multiple MB/GB when translating books or webpages.
After downloading and storing this repository, open a python terminal window, navigate to the repository directory and type e.g. translator.py. As soon as you hit ⏎, the program will start.
Software dependencies :arrows_counterclockwise:
All required libraries, packages or frameworks can be seen in the environment.yaml file. They need to be installed on your machine (Anaconda environment recommended) in order to execute all programs correctly.
If you already created a conda environment that you would like to use, you can update it anytime by first activating the environment and then running the conda env update command.
conda activate myenv
conda env update --name myenv --file environment.yaml
Note that this command will only update the conda environment. It will no remove already installed packages, especially if they have been installed using pip install.
You can also build a conda environment from a .yaml file. In order to do this, type in the following command.
conda env create --name myenv --f environment.yaml
