Welcome to translateME’s documentation!

translateME

translateME provides IHME with a translation function that can easily and efficiently translate PDFs and multi-sheet Excel files. This is great for translating the documentation for surveys that are written in a different language, but we have their microdata and want to extract. This package is built on top of the Google Translate API. At some point, if this scales, this might have to be spun off for each team to have their own Google budget. Typical usage of the package can be seen below:

#!/usr/bin/env python

from translate import translate

var = translate.Translate(developerKey, filename)
df = var.translateXL()
