Open Food Facts taxonomies translation

Why to use this script?

You want to do a bulk translation in the taxonomy for a given language using Google Translate.

How to use this script?

Prerequisites

• Python
• pip install:
  • pip3 install googletrans
  • pip3 install httpcore

Setup

Open the taxonomy_translate_from_english.py file. Update the variables:

• limit_counter = 200 -> number of translation to perform in the file
• tgt_lc = 'hr' -> desired target language abbreviation (ISO 639)
• taxonomy = "ingredients" -> desired taxonomy to translate (ingredients, categories, etc.)

Remark: it is advice to keep limit_counter small otherwise the changes may not be visible on the Github pull request.

Remark: it is advice to review and eventually correct translations before to make a pull request.

Copy the taxonomy file from https://github.com/openfoodfacts/openfoodfacts-server (example: ingredients.txt) in the current folder.

Run

Finally, run the script.

After the run, copy the <taxonomy>_updated.txt file back to the project and rename it (remove '_updated'), commit changes, push and make a PR to https://github.com/openfoodfacts/openfoodfacts-server.
