This uses
jq to pretty print the json. You could eliminate the jq depend.
Goog_trans.sh
Code:
#!/usr/bin/bash
#Bash google language translator
agent="Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:112.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/112.0"
echo -e "\nGoogle Translator\n"
echo -e "For language abbreviations look at: "
echo -e "https://developers.google.com/admin-sdk/directory/v1/languages\n"
read -p "Enter input language: " inLang
read -p "Enter output language: " outLang
read -p "Enter phrase to translate from "$inLang" to "$outLang" :" phrase
phrase=${phrase// /+}
url="http://translate.googleapis.com/translate_a/single?client=gtx&sl=${inLang}&tl=${outLang}&dt=t&q=${phrase}"
echo -e "\nThis is the google api url: "$url"\n"
txt=$(curl -A "$agent" "$url")
echo "$txt" | jq .
Looks like this, except colorized:
Code:
bash ./trans.sh

And that's a basic outline. Just like the python script.
The trouble with doing translations from the command line is: You need the fonts/locale available to your terminal. You can use different ones.
I have

You mileage may vary, depends on how your machine is set up.
I can translate from english into anything:

Not necessarily the other way around. Depends on your fonts etc.
