Setting up GitHub Library: libindic/indic-trans

DISCLAIMER !!!

I don't have the code, nor do I have rights, but I am writing this to help the users correctly download and use the indic-trans code in the system.

How to setup the git hub code indictrans | import error: ctranxn | from: can't read /var/mail/indictrans | libindic indic-trans code clone

Steps

1. Download or use this code to clone:

  git clone https://github.com/libindic/indic-trans.git 
  
  OR
  
  git clone https://github.com/irshadbhat/indictrans.git

---

2. Now go to the directory through cmd / terminal

cd indic-trans
  pip install -r requirements.txt
  python setup.py install  

---

3. Now check if you have installed it correct or not, using:

  indictrans -v

---

4. Then access the code library. Note you need come out of the source code directory to access the below commands;

 from indictrans import Transliterator
 trn = Transliterator(source='hin', target='eng', build_lookup=True)

 hin = """कांग्रेस पार्टी अध्यक्ष सोनिया गांधी, तमिलनाडु की मुख्यमंत्री
 जयललिता और रिज़र्व बैंक के गवर्नर रघुराम राजन के बीच एक समानता
 है. ये सभी अलग-अलग कारणों से भारतीय जनता पार्टी के राज्यसभा सांसद
 सुब्रमण्यम स्वामी के निशाने पर हैं. उनके जयललिता और सोनिया गांधी के
 पीछे पड़ने का कारण कथित भ्रष्टाचार है."""

 eng = trn.transform(hin)
 print(eng)

---

5. The output should be like this:

congress party adhyaksh sonia gandhi, tamilnadu kii mukhyamantri
jayalalita or reserve bank ke governor raghuram rajan ke bich ek samanta
he. ye sabhi alag-alag kaarnon se bhartiya janata party ke rajyasabha saansad
subramanyam swami ke nishane par hai. unke jayalalita or sonia gandhi ke
peeche padane kaa kaaran kathith bhrashtachar he.

---

6. The library can translate this back to original through following code:

trn = Transliterator(source='eng', target='hin')
hin_ = trn.transform(eng)
