replace dictionary keys (strings) in Python

Question

After CSV import, I have following dictionary with keys in different language:

dic = {'voornaam': 'John', 'Achternaam': 'Davis', 'telephone': '123456', 'Mobielnummer': '234567'}

Now I want to change keys to English and (also to all lowercase). Which should be:

dic = {'first_name':  'John', 'last_name': 'Davis', 'phone': '123456', 'mobile': '234567'}

How can I achieve this?

Answer 1

you have dictionary type, it fits perfectly

>>> dic = {'voornaam': 'John', 'Achternaam': 'Davis', 'telephone': '123456', 'Mobielnummer': '234567'}
>>> tr = {'voornaam':'first_name', 'Achternaam':'last_name', 'telephone':'phone', 'Mobielnummer':'mobile'}
>>> dic = {tr[k]: v for k, v in dic.items()}
{'mobile': '234567', 'phone': '123456', 'first_name': 'John', 'last_name': 'Davis'}
