Overview 🔎

How It Works

By managing only one Base file, we can reduce the number of errors caused by missing or mismatched translations. Additionally, thanks to editing in a single file, we can expect convenient translation with the auto-completion function of AI tools such as Copilot.

• Markdown, Jupyter Notebook(.ipynb) as input formats

Installation 📦

Linux

pip3 install mmg

macOS

pip3 install mmg

If you have any issues with WeasyPrint, install it with the following command. WeasyPrint is only used to create PDFs.

brew install weasyprint

Windows

1. MMG uses WeasyPrint to create PDFs. WeasyPrint requires the GTK library, so download and run the latest GTK3 installer. If you are not interested in creating PDFs, you can skip this step. Other features of MMG are available without GTK.

2. Install MMG using Pip.

   pip3 install mmg
