Quick English to Portuguese 1-word Translator
This is a very simple python code that access babylon translator. For now It just translates 1-word from english to portuguese. It's probably a bit buggy also, because I'm a python noob.
import urllib2, sys, re def translate(word, lang): print "WORD: "+word print "TRANSLATION TO LANGUAGE: "+lang print "-----------------------------------" sock = urllib2.urlopen("http://online.babylon.com/cgi-bin/trans.cgi?layout=txt&lang=ptg&word="+word) htmlsource = sock.read() sock.close() #Replacing some specific html tags for \n in order to format the final output: htmlsource = htmlsource.replace("<hr>","\n"); htmlsource = htmlsource.replace("<BR>","\n"); htmlsource = htmlsource.replace("<br>","\n"); htmlsource = htmlsource.replace("</BR>",""); htmlsource = htmlsource.replace("</br>",""); htmlsource = htmlsource.split(word)[1] #Removing unwanted html tags (acctually all the tags): iter = re.finditer(r'<.*?>',htmlsource) for m in iter: htmlsource = htmlsource.replace(m.string[m.start():m.end()],"") #More output formating tags = htmlsource.split("\n"); output = "" for str in tags: output += str.strip()+"\n" #tweak this up for your language output = output.decode("iso-8859-1").encode("utf-8") print output try: word = sys.argv[1] lang = sys.argv[2] translate(word,"") except(IndexError): if(word.__len__() != 0): translate(word, "")
