Instead of writing separate code to call each service's API, you import translators and call a unified function to translate text, specifying the source and target languages. The library handles the HTTP requests, parsing, and error handling for each backend.\n\nThe package depends on HTTP clients (httpx, requests, niquests), HTML parsing (lxml), and compression support (brotli, brotlicffi) to communicate with and parse responses from these services. It supports Python 3.8 through 3.13 and is marked Production/Stable, though maintenance has slowed\u2014the last commit was over 200 days ago. It carries a GPLv3 license, which restricts use in proprietary software.","worth_installing":"Yes, with conditions. Install if you need free, multi-service translation without managing separate API integrations and can accept GPLv3 licensing constraints. The low install friction and broad language support make it practical for prototyping and non-proprietary projects. Skip if you require active maintenance, proprietary licensing, or guaranteed uptime\u2014the aging status and 205-day gap since last release suggest slower response to bugs or service changes."},"id":"translators","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/translators","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/translators.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/translators/"},"maintenance":{"status":"aging"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-01-21","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"copyleft","name":"translators","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Translators is a library that aims to bring free, multiple, enjoyable translations to individuals and students in Python."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":147191,"position":11076,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"6.0.4"}
