Good afternoon,  
Is it possible to add an external Python library to translation in the python script (example deep-translator 1.11.4)????

Thank you very much

It's not jython so no. You can shell out to from Ignition, or run a flask server that has it installed and hit it with API requests and get a response, but you will not be able to call it directly in your Ignition scripts.

i'd suggest the flask server approach, subprocess is going to be weird depending on script host and users
