Translating your tools and products helps people all over the world access them; this is, of course, a somewhat tricky problem to solve. Gengo is a service that offers human-translation (which is often of higher quality than machine translation), and an API to manage sending in work and watching jobs. This is a Python interface to make using the API simpler.

Installation & Requirements

Installing this library using pip is very simple:

Otherwise, you can install from source by getting the repo:

git clone git://github.com/gengo/gengo-python.git

And then installing the library:

This will also install the requests package. If you're running on a version of Python prior to 2.6, you'll need to install simplejson as well:

Tests - Running Them, etc

Gengo has a full suite of unit tests. To run them, make sure you have the mock library installed, and then simply run:

If you wish to run a single test, such as TestTranslationJobFlowFileUpload:

python -m unittest -v gengo.tests.TestTranslationJobFlowFileUpload

Documentation

Full documentation can be found here, but anyone should be able to get a working script with the following:

from gengo import Gengo

gengo = Gengo(
    public_key='your_public_key',
    private_key='your_private_key',
    sandbox=True,
)

print gengo.getAccountBalance()

All function definitions can be found inside gengo/mockdb.py as a dictionary: the key of the dictionary entry is the function name, and the parameters are exactly the same as specified in the Gengo API docs.
