Getting started

You can translate your first file in a few minutes. Here is the whole path.

1. Install Babel Fishers. It is a Python package.
2. Create a project. One command writes the configuration file.
3. Set your provider key. Keys are read from environment variables.
4. List your files. Tell Babel Fishers what to translate.
5. Translate. Preview first. Then run it for real.

What you need

• Python 3.11 or newer.
• Source files in one of the supported formats.
• An account with one translation provider.
