LinguaLuxe is my CS50P final project. This is a application built using tkinter. This works as a dictionary and a translator(with pronunciations).
This project uses external modules. At first install the modules using the following command:
pip install pytest pygame gtts pillow langid PyMultiDictionary deep_translator
Now go ahead and run the following command:
python project.py
In this project, I used two separate classes DictionaryProcessor and Translator for the calls to the external modules. For the text-to-speech part, I used the Google Text to Speech module gtts.
The project has three pages which have been implemented as subclasses of tkinter.Frame. These classes are HomePage, DictionaryPage and TranslatorPage. All these classes were added to the App class which extends the tkinter.Tk class.
The DictionaryProcessor class provides the following functionalities:
- getting the part of speech
- getting the meaning
- getting the synonyms
- getting the antonyms
All these use the PyMultiDictionary module.
The Translator class serves the following purposes:
- detecting language (using
langid) - translating to different languages (using
deep_translator)
The App class uses the other three subclasses and adds them as frames. Using the show_frame function, it raises the corresponding frame according to commands.
The HomePage has buttons to redirect to the DictionaryPage and TranslatorPage.
The DicionaryPage provides an input box. Upon clicking the search button, it calls the DictionaryProcessor and shows the results in a scrollable frame beside.
The TranslatorPage also provides and input box. It gives option-menus to choose from which language and to which language you want to translate. If the input language is set to Auto, it detects the source language using langid and displays it below. The Translate button shows the translated text in the output box. The input and output text can also be heard by using the audio icons beside them. These use the gtts module to generate the speech.
