It's super easy! Here's a quick example of using it to translate the word beer between english (en) and swedish (sv):

$ multitran en sv beer
Showing 2 of 2 result(s)

English                                                     Swedish

from multitran_cli import Dict

translator = Dict()
result = translator.translate("Freundschaft", from_language="de", to_language="ru")

🤝 Contribute

All kinds of contributions are welcome. E.g.:

• Submitting feedback
• Fixing bugs
• Or implementing a new feature.

Some opportunities for improvement:

• Creating a consumable python package (in 0.1.2)
• Making the spaghetti code nice, clean and more efficient. (unfortunately I'm not a coder but I know that there are many opportunities for improvement)
• Switching from Beautifulsoup to lxml. lxml is faster as it is implemented in C
• Adding more features from multitran.com (e.g. search for phrases)
