About Anki

Anki is a program which makes remembering things easy. Because it's a lot more efficient than traditional study methods, you can either greatly decrease your time spent studying, or greatly increase the amount you learn.

About this Repo

These tools allow to use Google Translate service in command-line to translate words, and to retrieve Google Translate phrase books as a JSON list.

Notes

Translate works by generating Google token key (tk), see Token, and doesn't require to authenticate. In order to access Google translate phrase book you need to authenticate though.

Note that ankiweb.net bans ip addresses with too many (3 or 4 in an hour) authentication requests, for the reason unknown.

Dependencies

Perl and some modules (assume you have cpanm installed):

cpanm JSON DBI DBD::SQLite LWP::UserAgent LWP::Protocol::https

Docker

Build docker image (provide credentials):

GOOGLE_LOGIN=... GOOGLE_PASSWORD=... ANKI_LOGIN=... ANKI_PASSWORD=... ./build.sh

Use docker image:

docker run -it jamhed/anki bin/translate.pl en ru test
docker run -it jamhed/anki bin/google-phrasebook.pl

Usage
