Build a Language Translator App – Python Tkinter GUI Tutorial 200

In this video we’ll create a cool language translator app for Tkinter and Python!

We’ll use Googletrans and TextBlob to create out translation app.

We’ll use Googletrans to get a list of languages, and then we’ll use TextBlob to actually translate our text from one language into another!

Python Code: translate.py
(Github Code)

from tkinter import *
import googletrans
import textblob
from tkinter import ttk, messagebox



root = Tk()
root.title('Codemy.com - Translator')
root.iconbitmap('c:/gui/codemy.ico')
root.geometry("880x300")

def translate_it():
	# Delete Any Previous Translations
	translated_text.delete(1.0, END)

	try:
		# Get Languages From Dictionary Keys
		# Get the From Langauage Key
		for key, value in languages.items():
			if (value == original_combo.get()):
				from_language_key = key

		# Get the To Language Key
		for key, value in languages.items():
			if (value == translated_combo.get()):
				to_language_key = key

		# Turn Original Text into a TextBlob
		words = textblob.TextBlob(original_text.get(1.0, END))

		# Translate Text
		words = words.translate(from_lang=from_language_key , to=to_language_key)

		# Output translated text to screen
		translated_text.insert(1.0, words)

	except Exception as e:
		messagebox.showerror("Translator", e)




def clear():
	# Clear the text boxes
	original_text.delete(1.0, END)
	translated_text.delete(1.0, END)

#language_list = (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0,11,12,13,14,15,16,16,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1)

# Grab Language List From GoogleTrans
languages = googletrans.LANGUAGES

# Convert to list
language_list = list(languages.values())
