Summary
If you love the command-line and looking for a translation service, Translate Shell ticks all the boxes. Translate Shell by default translates the source text into the language of your locale.
It offers a good range of features, it’s extremely lean, highly configurable, supports a good range of engines and it’s easy to use. Use it as a dictionary, or as a translator.
We really like the simplicity of translating web pages. For example, to view the homepage of LinuxLinks in French type:
trans :fr https://www.linuxlinks.com
This will open up your default web browser with a French translation of our homepage. You can then view every article in French.
Translate Shell works on all the main operating systems.
