Python Translations Tool


I made a python tool (which uses selenium and chromedriver) that takes in a phrase to translate and an array of language codes of the languages you want to translate the phrase into. It creates google translate URLs, copies the translations into an array, and then prints the array (which I then use to copy into Android Studio's translation tool). Here's a link to the python code for anyone interested: https://github.com/amandafarrell/PythonTranslationsTool/blob/master/Translations.py
Most of my app downloads are not in English (for example, my Scorekeeper app has been downloaded over 20,000 times and less than half of those downloads are in English), so it was worth it to me to manually create translated versions of my apps, but going forward I wanted to do less copying/pasting. Hopefully, this tool is helpful to others as well!

I learned to code Android apps and uploaded a handful of them to the Google Play Store.  Coding didn't stick as a new career path for me, but of all the things I've made in the past decade, those little apps still make me so proud and happy.  I finally felt like I was helping people. I received a lot of nice feedback from people all over the world. One person even told me they used my little Change Calculator to help their kid get a job. I made that app 8 years ago, and I love to see people are still using it. I'm learning that "building the life I want to live"  doesn't mean I have to wait for some grand moment when everything finally comes together. Even the small stuff I'm building...

Impeach and remove Trump. No more endless war.

 The Trump administration attacked Iran today. This is not ok. Protest tomorrow, Sunday, June 22, 2025. Anywhere. Noon. Make a sign. Impeach and remove Trump now.  Call your senators and representatives. 5calls.org makes it easy. Send physical mail. Don't let up.  War is expensive.  Not just money.  HUMAN LIVES. The sign I painted:
