Could I use this Python API? [http://pythonhosted.org/goslate/](http://pythonhosted.org/goslate/) This is a Python API that allows free translation by using Google’s translate website. ---

Have you been able to get the google translate to work? I’m guessing no since Google lists Python 2.6 as the minimum requirement. [https://developers.google.com/api-client-library/python/apis/translate/v2](https://developers.google.com/api-client-library/python/apis/translate/v2) ---

I have been trying to find a third party translate library but keep running into null file pointer errors… This is possibly related, [https://inductiveautomation.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=72&t=14102&p=51464&hilit=library#p51464](https://inductiveautomation.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=72&t=14102&p=51464&hilit=library#p51464) Looks like I need to update a server to 7.7.5 and try some more… ---

Heavily modified and stripped down Goslate. More like inspired by… 😉 [google\_translate\_2015-08-03\_1634.proj](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/2X/7/7fd48dcc23249a8e0383552f7a41a7197756c485.proj) (1.87 KB) Usage: shared.google.translate(phrase, sourceLanguage, targetLanguage, [fullSet]) fullSet will return the full response from Translate. Useful if you need the romanized version of a result (example: translating from Japanese) ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/2X/7/71ea410a23d975bf944b397e8ce5e2bad0221372.jpg) ---

Jordan that works great. I was starting to work on this, and decided to check back and found your solution. Thanks ---

@jtx2: Everything okay then? Was just coming back to revisit the thread when your entries disappeared. Would have answered sooner but we’re on day 4 of no water at our house. Since all good crises have a name, I decided on “Well-mageddon”… Things are back on track, though. Thinking I’ll have to rename it to “Hydropalooza”. 😆
