trans

Trans (or translate) is a command line tool that facilitates text translation from one language to another. It is designed to provide quick and efficient translation within the command line interface. Trans supports a wide range of languages, allowing users to translate text between various language pairs. The tool operates by making an API call to translation services such as Google Translate, Bing Translator, or Yandex.Translate. Users can specify the source language and target language using language codes. Trans can be integrated into scripts or other command line workflows, enabling automated translation tasks. It provides options for interactive translation, batch translation of files, or even translating text from the clipboard. The tool also offers features such as language auto-detection, pronunciation of translations, and transliteration of non-Latin scripts. Trans is an open-source project, often available for installation via package managers, making it easily accessible and customizable. Overall, trans simplifies the process of translating text directly from the command line, saving time and effort for users who frequently need to perform translations.
