Translate with goslate python module .

This python module comes with many features and this is the main reason I make this tutorial.
We can read about this python module here.
Google has updated its translation service recently with a ticket mechanism to prevent simple crawler program like goslate from accessing.
Though a more sophisticated crawler may still work technically, however it would have crossed the fine line between using the service and breaking the service. goslate will not be updated to break google’s ticket mechanism. Free lunch is over. Thanks for using.


Let's install this python module with python 2.7 version and pip:

C:\Python27>cd Scripts

C:\Python27\Scripts>pip install goslate
Collecting goslate
  Downloading goslate-1.5.1.tar.gz
Requirement already satisfied: futures in c:\python27\lib\site-packages (from goslate)
Installing collected packages: goslate
  Running setup.py install for goslate ... done
Successfully installed goslate-1.5.1
Let's test a simple example from English to Romanian:
C:\Python27>python.exe
Python 2.7.13 (v2.7.13:a06454b1afa1, Dec 17 2016, 20:42:59) [MSC v.1500 32 bit (Intel)] on win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import goslate
>>> gs = goslate.Goslate()
>>> print(gs.translate('I\'m not here','ro'))
Eu nu sunt aici
Using detail dictionary explanation for a single word/phrase:
>>> gs.lookup_dictionary('internet', 'ro')
[[[u'Internet', u'internet', None, None, 2]], [[u'noun', [u'Internet'], [[u'Internet', 
[u'Internet'], None, 0.43686765]], u'Internet', 1]], u'en', None, None, None, 0.73151749,
 None, [[u'en'], None, [0.73151749], [u'en']]]
In my opinion, I have no idea what they might use, perhaps in chat applications, specific translations, and text detection.
