# Translatarrrr — Instant translation from any language to Pirate
A translator from any language (supported by Goolge translate) to pirate.
This uses a remote API from http://api.funtranslations.com for English
to Pirate translation, and a unofficial Python wrapper around Google translate
for other languages to English.

The *to English* part uses a Python library built on the web interface,
rather than an official API client since it's a faff to set up + non-free.
This means this part of the application is not guaranteed to work.

The *to Pirate* part uses a public API that is heavily throttled. You'll
usually get about 5 translations before the limit kicks in. You can
pay for an API key to get more.
This is, therefore, very useless.

PyQt in general, [take a look at my ebook & online course
"Create Simple GUI Applications"](https://martinfitzpatrick.name/create-simple-gui-applications)
which covers everything you need to know to start building your own applications with PyQt.
