Python Library for interfacing with Microsoft Translate API

Python-bing-translate-layer

Python module for interfacing with the latest Windows Azure Marketplace \ Microsoft Translate API \ Whatever its name is now.

What's the name of the "Do whatever the fuck you want with this, just credit me\show me what your doing with it" license?

You are welcomed to expand this module or notify me about issues.

Last check that this module worked: 3th July 2013' (Microsoft could have changed the API by the time you're looking at this)

Features

• translate a text or html file in a language into another language
• Stores the access_token and the expiration date in the background. Uses that access_token unless 10 minutes have passed since it's generation (and then generate a new one).

TODO (someday)

• test it with HTML requests (only tested with individual words)

Prerequisites

• You need an API key from the "DataMarket" https://datamarket.azure.com/account/keys
• You need to create an application for a Client_Id and a Client_Secret, also from the "DataMarket" https://datamarket.azure.com/developer/applications/

Install

Import this module from your code. No need to install anything.

Example

Look at the tests.py. OR:

import translate as tas
tas.set_credentials(app_id='YOURAPPID',client_id='YOURCLIENTID',client_secret='YOURCLIENTSECRET')
print tas.translate('hello', 'en', 'ko')
