You will need to use an external library or service to translate text from Greek to English because SpaCy lacks built-in machine translation capability. The Google Translate API is one tool that can be used to achieve this.  


Using Google Translate API, developers can include machine translation features in their applications. The API supports many languages and can translate text across them.  


The use of SpaCy to translate text from Greek to English has several potential uses.  

  • Machine Translation: In natural language processing and machine learning, translating text from one language to another is a common task.  
  • Language Modeling: The training and testing of language models can also be done using text translation.  
  • Sentiment Analysis: Text translation enables sentiment analysis by examining text written in many languages.  
  • Document Summarization: By maintaining only the most crucial material in the original language, text translation can assist in creating a summary of a lengthy document.  
  • Chatbot: Text translation might be helpful in customer service and chatbot applications.  


Here is how you can translate text using SpaCy:  

Preview of the output that you will get on running this code from your IDE

Code

In this solution we have used Translator function of python

translate text using spacy

Lines of Code : 15dotLicense : Strong Copyleft (CC BY-SA 4.0)

Dependent Libraries : 
from translate import Translator
translator = Translator(from_lang='el', to_lang='en')
translation = translator.translate("Ο όμορφος άντρας")
'''

You can the use spacy to perform comon NLP tasks, such as tokenization and
lemmatization in your desired language.

'''
import spacy
nlp = spacy.load('en')
doc = nlp(translation)
for token in doc:
    print(token, token.lemma_)
  1. Copy the code using the "Copy" button above, and paste it in a Python file in your IDE.
  2. Enter the Text that need to transalate
  3. Run the code get the Output


I hope you found this useful. I have added the link to dependent libraries, version information in the following sections.


I found this code snippet by searching for "Translate text using Spacy" in kandi. You can try any such use case!


Note


In this snippet we are using a Language model (en_core_web_sm)

  1. Download the model using the command python -m spacy download en_core_web_sm .
  2. paste it in your terminal and download it.


Check the user's spacy version using pip show spacy command in users terminal.

  1. if its version 3.0, you will need to load it using nlp = spacy.load("en_core_web_sm")
  2. if its version is less than 3.0 you will need to load it using nlp = spacy.load("en")

Environment Tested

I tested this solution in the following versions. Be mindful of changes when working with other versions.


  1. The solution is created in Python 3.7.15 Version
  2. The solution is tested on Spacy 3.4.3 Version
  3. The solution is tested on translate 3.6.1 Version


Using this solution, we can Translate the greek words to english with the help of function in spacy . This process also facilities an easy to use, hassle free method to create a hands-on working version of code which would help us Translate the words in python.
