This issue affects both termit and normit.

In normit, I get the following behavior:

$  normit en es hello
NORMIT: There seems to be a problem with your internet connection

In termit, I get the following behavior:

$  termit en es hello
/usr/lib/ruby/gems/2.3.0/gems/termit-2.13.0/lib/termit/text_response_handler.rb:22:in `extract_translation': undefined method `split' for nil:NilClass (NoMethodError)

Hi,

I really like the simple usage of normit and I believe that CLI-translation tools are still underrated.
But since normit is not maintained anymore, I wrote the new tool attranslate that does a similar thing as normit: https://github.com/fkirc/attranslate

However, there is still a caveat.
attranslate is designed to translate entire apps or websites instead of CLI texts.
In theory, it would be be trivial to extend attranslate to translate CLI texts.
In practice, however, it is necessary to configure an API-key before using attranslate.
Configuring such an API-key is easy for any serious app or website, but it is tedious if you want to install and run attranslate just for a one-off task.
So my question is:

Are you aware of any high-quality translation service that works without any API-key?
Scraping Google Translate or Bing might be doable, but I am not sure whether this is stable or against their terms of service?
If this is doable, then it might be easy to adopt normit-functionality for attranslate.

Would be awesome if normit could accept text from stdin so you could do: normit en es < myfile.txt or even webtorrent "magnet_link_to_book" --stdout | normit en es -t to torrent a book and have it translated and read to you live!

Hi,

I don't know javascript therefore I am not able to ascertain the source/nature of the problem. But normit seems to have stopped translating. All I get is 'There seems to be a problem with your internet connection'. I have tried it from two different places. Got the same response.

Could you please look into it?

Thanks a lot for the library! I am using it in an IOT project.

.. could maybe be changed to bing translate.

cool thing!
thank you! :-)
