Translate Shell (formerly Google Translate CLI) is a command-line translator powered by Google Translate (default), Bing Translator, Yandex.Translate, and Apertium. It gives you easy access to one of these translation engines in your terminal. By default, translations with detailed explanations are shown. You can also translate the text briefly (only the most relevant translation will be shown). Translate Shell can also be used like an interactive shell; input the text to be translated line by line. Translate Shell is known to work on many POSIX-compliant systems. You may use Translate Shell from any Unix shell of your choice (bash, zsh, ksh, tcsh, fish, etc.); however, the wrapper script requires either bash or zsh installed. It is a must to have corresponding fonts for the language(s) / script(s) you wish to display in your terminal.
