The Cloud Translation API, can dynamically translate text between thousands of language pairs. The Cloud Translation API lets websites and programs integrate with the translation service programmatically. The Cloud Translation API is part of the larger Cloud Machine Learning API family.

Quickstart

Before you begin

1. Select or create a Cloud Platform project.
2. Enable billing for your project.
3. Enable the Cloud Translation API.
4. Set up authentication with a service account so you can access the API from your local workstation.

Installing the client library

npm install @google-cloud/translate

Using the client library

/**
 * TODO(developer): Uncomment the following line before running the sample.
 */
// const projectId = 'YOUR_PROJECT_ID';

// Imports the Google Cloud client library
const {Translate} = require('@google-cloud/translate').v2;

// Instantiates a client
const translate = new Translate({projectId});

async function quickStart() {
  // The text to translate
  const text = 'Hello, world!';

  // The target language
  const target = 'ru';

  // Translates some text into Russian
  const [translation] = await translate.translate(text, target);
  console.log(`Text: ${text}`);
  console.log(`Translation: ${translation}`);
}

quickStart();

Supported Node.js Versions

Our client libraries follow the Node.js release schedule. Libraries are compatible with all current active and maintenance versions of Node.js.

Client libraries targeting some end-of-life versions of Node.js are available, and can be installed via npm dist-tags. The dist-tags follow the naming convention legacy-(version).

Legacy Node.js versions are supported as a best effort:

• Legacy versions will not be tested in continuous integration.
• Some security patches may not be able to be backported.
• Dependencies will not be kept up-to-date, and features will not be backported.

Legacy tags available

• legacy-8: install client libraries from this dist-tag for versions compatible with Node.js 8.

Versioning

This library follows Semantic Versioning.

This library is considered to be General Availability (GA). This means it is stable; the code surface will not change in backwards-incompatible ways unless absolutely necessary (e.g. because of critical security issues) or with an extensive deprecation period. Issues and requests against GA libraries are addressed with the highest priority.
