Does this give you any ideas?

#!/usr/bin/env python3

# import pprint

import googletrans

# pprint.pprint(googletrans.LANGUAGES)

translator = googletrans.Translator()

with open('input-file', 'r') as file_:
    english_text = file_.read()

translated = translator.translate(english_text, src='en', dest='is')

with open('output-file', 'w') as file_:
    file_.write(translated.text)


My input-file contains:

I like the music of Björk.

HTH.
