Actually one final pass for today, I have this now in my .bash_profile and take the destination language as the first parameter.
cat .bash_profile
function gtr {
sl=en
tl=$1
shift
base_url="https://translate.googleapis.com/translate_a/single?client=gtx&sl=${sl}&tl=${tl}&dt=t&q="
ua='Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/57.0.2987.133 Safari/537.36'
qry=$( echo $@ | sed -e "s/\ /+/g" )
full_url=${base_url}${qry}
response=$(curl -sA "${ua}" "${full_url}")
echo ${response} | jq -r '.[0][0][0]'
}
Example output.

Hi, yes I think using jq is much better, I use it in my day job. I flip between macos and Linux and I think the default bash shell in macos and hence sed is a slightly older version.
Yes, agreed - thank you very much ayubmalik! I should have said so in my first reply, it's a wonderful addition to the community.
Hi. Thanks guys - nice script.
I had a problem with encoding special characters when using source language like slovak, czech, polish... Only change i did was in query string. Instead of using sed (replace space with +) I used jq for complete url encoding. This is my query that works correctly for all special chars:
qry=$( echo $@ | jq -sRr @uri )
Nice will update the gist in a bit. Thanks.
Less dependencies

Exploit curl more:
gtr() {

tl=$1
shift
qry="$@"

--data-urlencode q="$qry" \
"$base_url")"
echo "$resp" |
sed 's/","/\n/g' |
sed -E 's/\[|\]|"//g' |
head -1
}I didn't try out this verbose version of command, but did try on curl -sGA "Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.15; rv:109.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/109.0" -d client=gtx -d sl=auto -d tl=en -d dt=t --data-urlencode q="hello world" "https://translate.googleapis.com/translate_a/single" and it worked.
function gtr {

I'm on a mac and I know sed is a little different over here. I'm not the sed guru but this works for me on MacOS 10.15.2. To anyone looking at this, my sed command, which works on a Mac, is more naively turning each literal space into a plus sign, which urlencodes the query. This is only fractionally complete and will not cover other whitespace, and multiples of whitespace. It's a Sunday afternoon of vacation here and I am pleased with this minimal effort.
I added a third requirement, of having the jq JSON utility installed.
