When the texts are particularly long and complex, I happen to use Google-Translator. It makes bad translations if the lines are interrupted by the newline, so I wrote a tool dedicated to Stefan and to all those who indent like him.

I present to you the brutality to which your posts are subjected:

import re
replacements = (("a", "b"), ("c", "d"), ("e", "f"), ("g", "h"))
text = "this be a test g eg"
"".join \
(
repl.get(s, s)
for repl in (dict(replacements),)
for s in
re.split("\\b(" + "|".join(re.escape(s[0]) for s in
replacements) + ")\\b", text)
)
How about just:
repl = {
"a" : "b",
"c" : "d",
"e" : "f",
"g" : "h",
}
"".join(repl.get(s, s) for s in re.split(r"\b", text))
