Language¶
MOSFiT
can optionally translate all of its command line text into any language supported by Google translate. MOSFiT
will use a user’s $LANG
environment variable to guess the language to use, if this variable is set. To accomplish this, the user must install the googletrans
via pip
:
pip install googletrans
Then, MOSFiT
can be translated into one of the available languages using the --language
option. When running for the first time for a new language, MOSFiT
will pass all strings to the googletrans
package one by one, which takes a few minutes to return the translated strings.
Note that Google’s translation service is very approximate, and the translated text is only roughly equivalent to the original meaning.
