Translate the values in a JSON file, preserving the structure and keys. You need a deepl API key to use this program.

Example

Create a file test.json

{
    "foo" : {
        "bar" : "Hello, world!"
    }
}

Translate the file to French:

export KEY=YOUR-DEEPL-KEY
python -m venv .venv # Create a virtual env
source .venv/bin/activate # Activate the virtual env
(.venv) pip install -r requirements.txt # Install dependencies
(.venv) python translate.py test.json fr -k $KEY

Prints

{
    "foo": {
        "bar": "Bonjour à tous !"
    }
}

The translation is printed to stdout. Use a redirection operator to print it to a file.

python translate.py test.json fr -k $KEY > test-fr.json
