pipe input to bash script (to translate text)
I'm trying to pu together a bash script to use mymemmory api to translate text. I want it to be able to translate single lines and multiple line by pipeing into it.
This is the script (mytrans) so far (I'm using jq):
#!/bin/bash
key=apikey
mail=themail
translate_line()
{
for x in "$@"; do
totranslate="$totranslate%20$x"
done
totranslate=${totranslate:3}
url="https://api.mymemory.translated.net/get?q=$totranslate&langpair=en-US%7Ces-ES&of=json&key=$thekey&de=$mail"
translated_text=$(curl -s $url | jq-linux64 '.responseData.translatedText' | sed -e 's/^"//' -e 's/"$//')
echo $translated_text
}
if [ -p /dev/stdin ]; then
while IFS= read line; do
echo $line
translate_line $line
done
else
translate_line "$@"
fi
It works fine if i run it on a simple line, or if I pipe a simple line. The problem is with multiple lines. Example:
$mytrans hello world
hello world
hola mundo
$echo bye | mytrans
bye
adios
$echo hello world > dd
$echo bye >> dd
$cat dd | mytrans
hello world
hola mundo
bye
lo bye mundo
what I'm doing wrong?

At the beginning of the function translate_line(), you should declare local or initialize totranslate="", so that this it does not increase at each call.
