API, Website and desktop app based on deep-translator?

[nidhaloff]

Description

Hey y all,

I know it's hard for newcomers to join the amazing open-source world because I've been there.

In order to invite people to the project and mainly give others the opportunity to join the open-source world and make their first contribution, I wanted to propose the idea of developing a website and maybe even a desktop app based on the deep-translator package.

I honestly don't have much time to work on everything alone, therefore, I'm basically opening this issue to hear from the community. Maybe some of you can share their ideas/opinions and we can work something great that all others will benefit from ;)

Years ago, I developed a mobile app based on deep-translator. I called it Translator++. You can find it on play-store here. The code is also open source and you can find it here. I used the kivy framework to build this cross-platform app.

Building a website or desktop app can be a great challenge for people that want to join open-source.

Hi @nidhaloff, I'm a newbie but I'd like to contribute! I can help with website or APIs, or maybe add another translator, like "Baidu translation"(a popular multilingual translation services in China)?

Hi @nidhaloff,
We have worked with @TonyBionda on website using what was already existing in https://github.com/nidhaloff/deep-translator-website

We still used Django but refactored it to make it works with Tailwind.

It's only the first version so there is maybe still few bugs. Could you see the PR attached here : nidhaloff/deep-translator-website#1 and come back to us to see what could we improve

To make all translators work, we just need API keys in .env

Hey @nidhaloff, i would love to participate in this project and build a small prototype for an desktop app with tkinter or maybe an electron app using the api. What do You think? Is this still wanted/needed?

Hi @nidhaloff, The deep_translator python package has Google Translate API. Google Translate API is a paid service but you mention deep_translator is 100% free and unlimited. How it is possible?? Or it have any limitations?
