命令行版谷歌翻译：Translate Shell-工具盒子

|----|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | 导读 | 我对 CLI 应用非常感兴趣，因此热衷于使用并分享 CLI 应用。我之所以更喜欢 CLI 很大原因是因为我在大多数的时候都使用的是字符界面（black screen），已经习惯了使用 CLI 应用而不是 GUI 应用。 |

我写过很多关于 CLI 应用的文章。最近我发现了一些谷歌的 CLI 工具，像 "Google Translator"、"Google Calendar" 和 "Google Contacts"。这里，我想在给大家分享一下。

今天我们要介绍的是 "Google Translator" 工具。由于我的母语是泰米尔语，我在一天内用了很多次才理解了它的意义。

谷歌翻译为其它语系的人们所广泛使用。
什么是 Translate Shell

Translate Shell[1] (之前叫做 Google Translate CLI) 是一款借助谷歌翻译（默认）、必应翻译、Yandex.Translate 以及 Apertium 来翻译的命令行翻译器。它让你可以在终端访问这些翻译引擎。 Translate Shell 在大多数 Linux 发行版中都能使用。
如何安装 Translate Shell

有三种方法安装 Translate Shell。

下载自包含的可执行文件
手工安装
通过包管理器安装

方法 1 : 下载自包含的可执行文件

下载自包含的可执行文件放到 /usr/bin 目录中。

$ wget git.io/trans
$ chmod +x ./trans
$ sudo mv trans /usr/bin/

方法 2 : 手工安装

克隆 Translate Shell 的 GitHub 仓库然后手工编译。

$ git clone https://github.com/soimort/translate-shell && cd translate-shell
$ make
$ sudo make install

方法 3 : 通过包管理器

有些发行版的官方仓库中包含了 Translate Shell，可以通过包管理器来安装。

对于 Debian/Ubuntu，使用 APT-GET 命令[2] 或者 APT 命令[3]来安装。

$ sudo apt-get install translate-shell

对于 Fedora, 使用 DNF 命令[4] 来安装。

$ sudo dnf install translate-shell

对于基于 Arch Linux 的系统, 使用 Yaourt 命令[5] 或 Packer 明快[6] 来从 AUR 仓库中安装。

$ yaourt -S translate-shell
or
$ packer -S translate-shell

如何使用 Translate Shell

安装好后，打开终端闭关输入下面命令。谷歌翻译会自动探测源文本是哪种语言，并且在默认情况下将之翻译成你的 locale 所对应的语言。

$ trans [Words]

下面我将泰米尔语中的单词 "நன்றி" (Nanri) 翻译成英语。这个单词的意思是感谢别人。

$ trans நன்றி
நன்றி
(Naṉṟi)
Thanks

[ தமிழ் -> English ]

使用下面命令也能将英语翻译成泰米尔语。

$ trans :ta thanks

Definitions of thanks
[ English -> தமிழ் ]

要将一个单词翻译到多个语种可以使用下面命令(本例中，我将单词翻译成泰米尔语以及印地语)。

$ trans :ta+hi thanks

使用下面命令可以将多个单词当成一个参数（句子）来进行翻译。(只需要把句子应用起来作为一个参数就行了)。

$ trans :ta "what is going on your life?"
what is going on your life?
உங்கள் வாழ்க்கையில் என்ன நடக்கிறது?
(Uṅkaḷ vāḻkkaiyil eṉṉa naṭakkiṟatu?)
Translations of what is going on your life?

字典模式：加上 -d 可以把 Translate Shell 当成字典来用。

$ trans -d :en thanks
thanks
