Python String translate() Examples
There are two ways to translate are:
- Python String translate() with mapping as a dictionary.
- Mapping using maketrans().
Translation/Mapping with translate() with manual translation table
In this example, we are going to see how to use Python string translate() methods with a dictionary.
Python3
# Python3 code to demonstrate # translations without # maketrans() # specifying the mapping # using ASCII table = { 119 : 103, 121 : 102, 117 : None } # target string trg = "weeksyourweeks"# Printing original string print ("The string before translating is : ", end ="") print (trg) # using translate() to make translations. print ("The string after translating is : ", end ="") print (trg.translate(table)) |
Output :
The string before translating is : weeksyourweeks The string after translating is : w3wiki
Translation/Mapping using a translation table with translate()
In the given example, the vowels are replaced with digits with the use of maketrans() and translate() in Python.
Python3
# Define the translation tabletable = str.maketrans('aeiou', '12345')# Apply the translation to a stringtext = 'this is a test'translated_text = text.translate(table)print(translated_text) # 'th3s 3s 1 t2st' |
Output :
th3s 3s 1 t2st
Python String translate() Method
Python String translate() returns a string that is a modified string of givens string according to given translation mappings.
