I Don't Want to Write README_en, So I Created a README_en Automatic Generation Software: ReadmeTranslator

Recently

Recently, I have been working on some small projects and open-sourced them on my Github. Considering the future international market and internationalization issues, almost all my self-developed projects require English documentation. However, writing the English README file each time consumes a lot of my time and energy. Just as Rene said: I can't focus my energy on development. So I thought: Can I just write the Chinese README file each time and automatically generate the English version?

ReadmeTranslator

Through my continuous exploration and the assistance of ChatGPT (you can take a look at this previous article: Solving the Pain Points of Self-study in Programming: Efficient Learning with the Assistance of GPT-like Large Models), I quickly completed the development of this software.

When using it, you only need to place it in the same directory as the README.md file you wrote. Of course, you need to install the dependencies first:

    pip3 install setuptools
    pip3 install googletrans==4.0.0-rc1

Then run it in the terminal:

python3 translate.py

Since the API of GoogleTranslate is used, it may take 1 to 3 minutes, and there will be a prompt after completion.

Currently

So far, the program can generally run, but the distinction between text and code needs to be strengthened. I will make modifications when I have free time in a few days...

Finally, here is the Github project address: https://github.com/Gloridust/Readmetranslator Go to sleep!
