This is related to website we are creating at work. The script for website is written in HTML and Python. We want to translate website in different languages text by text. The idea we have is to save all the words and phrases in the excel file and by using some API it translates everything and saves in the same excel file. I had an idea of using Google API but I want to save all the translations in Excel once so we don't have to pay for using the API again and again.
I am looking for less tedious way to:
1) Save all the words and phrases from website into the excel file
2) Translate those saved words and phrases and be able to save in the same file.
This is actually a common problem that has been solved in a similar way to what you have in mind. I would suggest taking a look at https://www.mattlayman.com/2015/i18n.html https://www.python.org/community/sigs/current/i18n-sig/ and https://docs.python.org/2/library/gettext.html which describe using the gettext method to display the proper translation. This is a common problem in web development that happens out of the box in web frameworks like ruby on rails.
I believe you will still have to find the translations yourself, but if you save them in the proper files there are built in functions that can retrieve the right translation for you based on the user's location.

In reference towards me question, how would one be able to input data and retrieve data from various websites (not using an API)?
Is there a module that searches or acts like a human for purposes as in searching along applicably given fields; in effort to (as said before) retrieve data?
Sorry if I'm making my question hard to follow along; though if so, here's an example of what I am trying to accomplish:
Directing an AI towards a specific website.
Inputting data into the search field.
Then finally, retrieving said data after previously ran processes.
I'm fairly new to the section or field in manipulating websites via APIs or various (unknown) code; therefore, sorry if I missed anything!
You can use
mechanize,
BeautifulSoup,
Urllib,
Urllib2,
modules in Python. What I suggest you is use mechanize module. It is like scraping website through python program. More over simply a browser through python code.

It may seem like a stupid question, but I really can't find information about this in google.
I am trying to develop a server-client application in python language, I am searching for a correct way to save data on a computer.
I have a client, that when he click the "Register" button I want that his computer will save the information and he can auto-login when he secondly entered the program.
Should I make a new file, save it with the data in the computer and then, load it again and read the data? I really don't know is this is the correct way.
There are different approaches to this problem. You could save the credentials/token/.. to the local disk, but keep in mind that in some cases this might be consindered a security risk. If you do so you should probably store it under user's home folder to keep it from other (non-admin/root users) at least.
You could also store it and encrypt it with e "Master password" (like Firefox does if you enable it).
Or you could connect to a 3rd party authentication server and store your information there. It all depends on the use case you are implementing as well as the complexity required.

I'd like to write a program that indexes my pdf and music files on my hard drive(not server). I plan to do this via perl or python, or both. I'll basically be writing a crawler for my desctop. The user interface will be in JavaFx, which I think quite fluent in. I've done a couple of projects in JavaFx. I have not done anything in perl/ python. I however, have done a few lines of code in them while teaching myself the syntax.
The question is what topics should I start my research in when embarking on writing a crawler. I've seen quite a number of tutorials online on crawlers but all do web page indexing. Plus what modules should I look into?
In python to find the files you can use os.walk - the examples in the help are very helpful.
Assuming that you are looking to do more than just locate the files and get their names you will need to look into getting some more information about the contents, there are python libraries that can get text from pdf files such as PDFMiner and pdfquery.
Likewise there are numerous python tools that can get you some more information on your music files.
It all depends on how you are planning on indexing them.

Is it possible to create a python program, that can interact with Google's Translate?
I'm thinking of a way that firstly opens a .txt file, then reads the first line, then interacts with google translate and translates the word from a spesific language to a spesific language, then logs it into a different txt file.
Main question: Is it possible to make Python 3.3 interact with Google Translate?
Please tell me if I didn't explain myself enough.
Thank you,
Tharix
The google API python client supports the google translate and lets you translate from one language to another:

Maybe you should use something more specific like google translate api :

I am currently doing a research project and I am attempting to figure out a good way to identify ads given access to the html of a webpage.
I thought it might be a good idea to start with AdBlock. AdBlock is a program that prevents ads from being displayed to the user, so presumably it has a mechanism for identifying things as ads.
I downloaded the source code for AdBlockPlus, but I find myself completely lost in all of the files. I am not sure where to start looking for this detection mechanism, so I was wondering if anyone had any advice on where to start. Alternatively if you have dealt with AdBlock before and are familiar with it, I would appreciate any extra information.
For example, if the webpage needs to be rendered in a real browser to use Adblock, there are programs that will automate the loading of a webpage so this wouldn't be a problem but I am not sure how to figure out if this is what AdBlock does in the first place.
Note: AdBlock is written in Python and Perl :)
Thanks!
I would advise you to first have a look at writing adblock filter rules.
Then, once you get an idea of this, you can start parsing adblock lists available in various languages to suit your needs.
