Bulk Google Translate

This script allows you to bulk translate words or sentences from a source language to a target language using the Google Translate API. It leverages the @vitalets/google-translate-api package to make translation requests.

Prerequisites

Before using this tool, make sure you have the following prerequisites:

• Node.js
• npm

Installation

1. Clone the repository to your local machine.
2. Navigate to the repository directory.
3. Install the required dependencies by running the following command:

npm install

Usage

1. Open the index.js file.

2. Customize the following variables according to your needs:

   • TO: The target language code (e.g., 'en' for English).
   • FROM: The source language code (e.g., 'de' for German).
   • SOURCE_FILE: The filename containing the sentences to translate.
   • DEST_FILE: The filename for the translated results JSON file.
   • ips: An array of IP addresses or proxy URLs to bypass rate limits. To obtain the list, follow these steps:
     • Run the provided Colab link to retrieve a list of IP addresses.
     • Copy and paste the output list of IP addresses into the ips variable in the index.js file.

3. Save the changes to the index.js file.

4. Run the script by executing the following command in the repository directory:

node index.js

The tool will start translating each sentence from the SOURCE_FILE and save the results to the DEST_FILE. It will display the progress, indicating the number of sentences processed.

If the tool encounters rate limits or errors, it will automatically switch to a different proxy from the ips list and retry the translation. You can update the ips list if needed to ensure a smooth translation process.

Notes

• Ensure that your source language and target language codes are valid according to the Google Translate API documentation. You can refer to this file for a list of language codes supported by the API.
• The tool will write the translated results to a JSON file in the specified format.
• You can modify the tool to customize error handling, retry behavior, or integrate with other services as needed.

Feel free to modify and enhance the script according to your requirements. Happy translating!
