Install Python. Then install the following two libraries using the Command Prompt (cmd) interpreter in Windows10:

py- m pip install google-cloud-translate
py -m pip install beautifulsoup4

Python will automatically translate the following html tags:

<title>Your Text</title>
<meta name="description" content="Your Text"/>

Also, Python code will also automatically translate the contents of the following tags (Your Text), but only if these tags are framed by < ! -- ARTICOL START --> and < ! -- ARTICOL START --> html comments. Of course, you will need to replace these tags with your own tags.

<!-- ARTICOL START -->

<h1 class="den_articol" itemprop="name">Your Text</h1>
<p class="text_obisnuit">Your Text</p>
<p class="text_obisnuit2">Your Text</p>
<span class="text_obisnuit2">Your Text</span>
<span class="text_obisnuit">Your Text</span>
<li class="text_obisnuit">Your Text</li>
<a class="linkMare" href="https://neculaifantanaru.com/en/">Your Text</a>
<h4 class="text_obisnuit2>Your Text</h4>
<h3 class="text_obisnuit2>Your Text</h3>
<h5 class="text_obisnuit2>Your Text</h5>

<!-- ARTICOL FINAL -->

You will need a file with the extension .json (I renamed it secret.json) which you can get from https://console.cloud.google.com/ Follow this tutorial on how to get Google Api Key.

Copy the secret.json file to the same folder as the code below yourcode.py

google translate api key python tutorial example code

The CODE: Copy and run the code below in any interpreter program (I use pyScripter) . Don't forget to change the path in the "files_from_folder" line.

The essential characteristic of this book in comparison with others on the market in the same domain is that it describes through examples the ideal competences of a leader. I never claimed that it's easy to become a good leader, but if people will...

The Master Touch
Leadership - Magia măiestriei

For some leaders, "leading" resembles more to a chess game, a game of cleverness and perspicacity; for others it means a game of chance, a game they think they can win every time risking and betting everything on a single card.

Leadership Puzzle

I wrote this book that conjoins in a simple way personal development with leadership, just like a puzzle, where you have to match all the given pieces in order to recompose the general image.
