The Etsy Description translator is a small Python utility that uses BeautifulSoup to scrape a shop listing descriptions translate them, and export them as PDFs. I created this as adding descriptions to other Amazon platforms such as Amazon.mx and .br can be extremely unpleasant as translating hundreds of descriptions is not logical.
There is no rate-limiting protection built in. However, I have not encountered any rate limits. Read about Etsy Ratelimits. This program does not use the official Etsy API and is solely for educational purposes.
- Automated detection of paginated listings.
- No authentication is needed.
- Listing Titles Scraped and used as PDF filenames for easy navigation.
- Free software: GNU Lesser General Public License v3 or later (LGPLv3+)
To run the program, run
py main.py
- All PDFs are created in real-time and will be set to the dir
Translations. - Filenames are set to match those of the listing title.
- Automatically centered, dependent on the character count and length of the translated description.
Definitely could've done better in terms of organization and understanding here, though, this was mainly for personal use hence the carelessness of comprehension.
- Inspect Etsy's HTML to see if we're able to detect whether the shop has a paginated list of listings.
- Gather's description and title per listing.
- Removes special characters from Etsy listing titles as they may interfere with the PDF generation.
