Getting Started

To translate a single Markdown file

import markdown_translator

markdown_text = """
## First title to translate

This is a paragraph with content to translate.
"""

markdown_translator.config(api_key="YOUR-API-KEY")

source_md = markdown_translator.Markdown(markdown_text)
translated_md = source_md.translate(lang_to="FR", lang_from="EN")
translated_md.save("translated-text.md")
print(translated_md)

To update an existing translated file:

# Require to enable versioning
markdown_translator.config(versioning="sql")

# Perform your first translation as explained previously.
# [first translations...]

# Then to update an already translated file
translated_md = Markdown(filename="translated-text.md", restore_hashes=True)
new_version = Markdown(filename="update.md")

translated_md.update(new_version, lang_to="FR", lang_from="EN")

To manage translations of all Markdown files within a folder :

import markdown_translator

markdown_translator.config(
        api_key="YOUR-API-KEY",
        dest_lang=["fr"],
        include_files=["include1", "file2"],
        edit_links=False,
        versioning="sql",
        #...
      )

repo = markdown_translator.RepositoryTranslator("src-folder", "dest-folder")
repo.update()

See source code for available functions and options as it is in development.
