Translations with speech synthesis in your terminal as a node package

Last update: Jan 1, 2023

Overview

Normit

Normit is an easy way to translate stuff in your terminal. You can check out its Ruby gem version termit.

Installation

npm install normit -g

Usage

normit 'source_language' 'target_language' 'text'

Example:

normit en es "hey cowboy where is your horse?"
=> "Hey vaquero dónde está tu caballo?"

normit fr en "qui est votre papa?"
=> "Who's Your Daddy?"

Parenthesis are not necessary for text data input:

normit fr ru qui est votre papa
=> "Кто твой папочка?"

Speech synthesis

Specify a -t (talk) flag to use speech synthesis (requires mpg123):

normit en fr "hey cowboy where is your horse?" -t
=> "Hey cowboy où est votre cheval ?" # and a french voice says something about a horse

You can use normit as a speech synthesizer of any supported language without having to translate anything:

normit en en "hold your horses cowboy !" -t
=> "hold your horses cowboy !" # and an english voice asks you to hold on

Learning language when committing to git (zsh only)

Idea by Nedomas . See and hear your messages translated to target lang every time you commit:

In ~/.zshrc

export LANG=es
git(){[[ "$@" = commit\ -m* ]]&&normit en $LANG ${${@:$#}//./} -t;command git $@}

I am no shell ninja so if you know how to make it work in bash then please submit a PR.

Language codes:

To find all available language codes visit https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh456380.aspx

Requirements

Works with node 0.10.0 and higher.

To use speech synthesis you need to have mpg123 installed.

For Ubuntu:

sudo apt-get install mpg123

For MacOSX:

brew install mpg123

For Windows: Download Site or Direct Download mpg123-1.24.0-x86-64.zip

Status

It was rewritten to work with Bing Translator . Thanks to Ragnarson for supporting it !

Disclaimer

Normit works by scraping the private APIs and is therefore not recommended for use in production or on a large scale.

For Windows Too

Your code worked like a charm for me.... Just fixed Os which/where issue.

(And added windows install not for mpg123)

Respect to the Author - Loved your code

Normit broken?

Hi,

I don't know javascript therefore I am not able to ascertain the source/nature of the problem. But normit seems to have stopped translating. All I get is 'There seems to be a problem with your internet connection'. I have tried it from two different places. Got the same response.

Could you please look into it?

Thanks a lot for the library! I am using it in an IOT project.

Future maintenance - merge with attranslate?

Hi,

I really like the simple usage of normit and I believe that CLI-translation tools are still underrated. But since normit is not maintained anymore, I wrote the new tool attranslate that does a similar thing as normit: https://github.com/fkirc/attranslate

However, there is still a caveat. attranslate is designed to translate entire apps or websites instead of CLI texts. In theory, it would be be trivial to extend attranslate to translate CLI texts. In practice, however, it is necessary to configure an API-key before using attranslate. Configuring such an API-key is easy for any serious app or website, but it is tedious if you want to install and run attranslate just for a one-off task. So my question is:

Are you aware of any high-quality translation service that works without any API-key? Scraping Google Translate or Bing might be doable, but I am not sure whether this is stable or against their terms of service? If this is doable, then it might be easy to adopt normit-functionality for attranslate.

Have APIs changed again?

This issue affects both termit and normit.

In normit, I get the following behavior:

$  normit en es hello
NORMIT: There seems to be a problem with your internet connection

In termit, I get the following behavior:

$  termit en es hello
/usr/lib/ruby/gems/2.3.0/gems/termit-2.13.0/lib/termit/text_response_handler.rb:22:in `extract_translation': undefined method `split' for nil:NilClass (NoMethodError)

The Unix Way™

Would be awesome if normit could accept text from stdin so you could do: normit en es < myfile.txt or even webtorrent "magnet_link_to_book" --stdout | normit en es -t to torrent a book and have it translated and read to you live!
