pandas.Series.str.translate

Series.str.translate(table)

Map all characters in the string through the given mapping table.

This method is equivalent to the standard str.translate() method for strings. It maps each character in the string to a new character according to the translation table provided. Unmapped characters are left unchanged, while characters mapped to None are removed.

Parameters:

tabledict

Table is a mapping of Unicode ordinals to Unicode ordinals, strings, or None. Unmapped characters are left untouched. Characters mapped to None are deleted. str.maketrans() is a helper function for making translation tables.

Returns:

Series or Index

A new Series or Index with translated strings.

Series.str.replace

Replace occurrences of pattern/regex in the Series with some other string.

Index.str.replace

Replace occurrences of pattern/regex in the Index with some other string.

Examples

>>> ser = pd.Series(["El niño", "Françoise"])
>>> mytable = str.maketrans({"ñ": "n", "ç": "c"})
>>> ser.str.translate(mytable)
