transQiita (made)

transQiita is a command line application using Qiita API v2 and googletrans. ** You can automatically translate articles on Qiita into English and post them to Qiita interactively (or non-interactively) by executing from the command line.
Also, you can post to gist/Twitter at the same time by using Qiita's GitHub linkage and Twitter linkage (optional).

Limitations

** Code block part will not be translated, as indentation will be broken if code block part is translated. **
** Since the translation process inserts a space between the symbol and the character, markdown decoration such as"**"or"~ ~"does not work. **

Afterword

-**"Banner with original article ID"is added to the English translation as a mark so that update processing can be performed without using a database **.
When the original article is updated, the English translation article with the banner of the original article ID is found and updated.
You may manage the relationship between the original article and the English translation article in the database, but because I thought that preparing the database for that purpose would not be versatile, I aimed at a database-less design to make the code somewhat redundant. The

-Last but not the least
** This is the first Python post for me at the infrastructure store. I think that there are many places where debugging is insufficient, so it would be appreciated if you could report any problems! ** (little voice)
