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.
