Translate from the command line arguments

If any language is not specified, the source language is automatically detected and the destination language is set to English (EN) by default.
It is possible to specify the source language with the -f option and the destination language with the -t option.

$ dptran Bonjour
Hello
$ dptran -t FR Hello
Bonjour

$ dptran
> ありがとうございます。
Thank you very much.
> Ich stehe jeden Tag um 7 Uhr auf.

Multiple source texts can be translated interactively.
Exit with quit.

Then enter a blank line to send the input.

Translate from the pipeline

You can translate the output of other commands with dptran.

e.g. Translate the content of the man page into Japanese.

$ man ls | cat | dptran -t JA

Translate from a file

You can translate the contents of a text file with dptran by using the -i option.

$ dptran -i file.txt

Translate from an editor application (e.g. vi, vim, nano, emacs, etc.)

You can translate the contents from an editor with dptran by using the -e option.

Example: vi

$ dptran set -e vi
$ dptran -e

Example: vim

$ dptran set -e vim
$ dptran -e

Example: nano

$ dptran set -e nano
$ dptran -e

Example: emacs

$ dptran set -e "emacs -nw"
$ dptran -e

$ dptran -t FR -e -r

For example, the following input (in the editor):

Hello!
How are you?

will be translated as one line like this:

Bonjour, comment allez-vous ?
