Supported languages depending on the engine

Open Driglu4it opened this issue 5 years ago • 3 comments

Good afternoon. I'm developing GUI for your package. The question is: how do you learn supported languages depending on the translate engine (manually for a very long time)? Thank you.

May be trans -T or trans -R

The only reliable way to find out which languages are supported by a particular translate engine is to go to their websites and check out their drop-down lists:

  • https://translate.google.com/
  • http://bing.com/translate

You may also look at the source code of Languages.awk. The first 108 languages are officially supported by Google. Those with a "bing-only" field are supported only by Bing. However, it does not indicate which languages are supported by Google but not supported by Bing. Also, the information there could be a bit outdated, as Google Translate and Bing are evolving and adding new language support from time to time.
