Python

# Please install Microsoft translate using >> pip install translate

from translate import Translator

class clsTranslate():

    def translateText(self, strString, strTolang):
        self.strString = strString
        self.strTolang = strTolang
        translator = Translator(to_lang=self.strTolang)
        translation = translator.translate(self.strString)
        return (str(translation))

# Create a Class object and call the Translate function

objTrans=clsTranslate()
strTranslatedText= objTrans.translateText('How are you', 'de')

print(strTranslatedText)
