  • @grump that's not true, freedict is a dictionary, not a word list. However, they're not a translation service, and can only help you translate things if you understand the grammar, which is less than what an automated translation service like google translate can do.

A command line tool : translate-shell




Translate Shell (formerly Google Translate CLI) is a command-line translator powered by Google Translate (default), Bing Translator, Yandex.Translate, DeepL Translator and Apertium. It gives you easy access to one of these translation engines in your terminal.




apt install translate-shell


e,g:



trans 'Salut!, Bonjour!, Soyez le bienvenu!'


Sample output:



Salut!, Bonjour!, Soyez le bienvenu!
(null)

Hi!, Hello!, Welcome!
/null/

Translations of Salut!, Bonjour!, Soyez le bienvenu!
[ Français -> English ]

Salut!, Bonjour!, Soyez le bienvenu!
Hi!, Hello!, Welcome!


See trans --help for more details.



You can use the -p option to activate the speech synthesizer:



trans 'Buenos días. ¿Cómo estás?' -p


To change the target Language use[source_LANG]:[target_LANG] e,g: (from Spanish to French):



trans es:fr 'Buenos días. ¿Cómo estás?'


or:



trans -s es -t fr 'Buenos días. ¿Cómo estás?'

    weboob can also do this:




    Weboob is a collection of applications able to interact with websites,
    without requiring the user to open them in a browser. It also provides
    well-defined APIs to talk to websites lacking one.




    I found that Ubuntu 16.04.3 lts has an old version of weboob is
    it's best to clone it directly from git:



    $ git clone https://git.weboob.org/weboob/devel.git weboob && cd weboob


    Start translaboob module manually:



    $ ./tools/local_run.sh translaboob


    At the first run you'll have to choose a backend you want to use:



    Warning: there is currently no configured backend for translaboob
    Do you want to configure backends? (Y/n): Y

    Available modules:
    1) [ ] ebonics English to Ebonics translation service
    2) [ ] googletranslate Google translation web service
    3) [ ] larousse larousse dictionary translations
    4) [ ] wordreference Free online translator
    a) --all-- install all backends
    q) --stop--


    In this example we choose googletranslate:



    Select a backend to create (q to stop): 2
    Backend "googletranslate" successfully added.

    Available modules:
    1) [ ] ebonics English to Ebonics translation service
    2) [X] googletranslate Google translation web service
    3) [ ] larousse larousse dictionary translations
    4) [ ] wordreference Free online translator
    a) --all-- install all backends
    q) --stop--


    After pressing q you can type a sentence to translate, for example:



    Select a backend to create (q to stop): q
    Right right!

      Yes, I know but for example in Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS it's version 1.1 which is very old and translaboob does not work. I also said that in my answer.
