Cloud Translation V2 API - Module Google::Cloud::Translate::V2 (v0.5.0)

Reference documentation and code samples for the Cloud Translation V2 API module Google::Cloud::Translate::V2.

Google Cloud Translation API

Google Cloud Translation API provides a simple, programmatic interface for translating an arbitrary string into any supported language. It is highly responsive, so websites and applications can integrate with Translation API for fast, dynamic translation of source text. Language detection is also available in cases where the source language is unknown.

Translation API supports more than one hundred different languages, from Afrikaans to Zulu. Used in combination, this enables translation between thousands of language pairs. Also, you can send in HTML and receive HTML with translated text back. You don't need to extract your source text or reassemble the translated content.

Methods

.new

def self.new(project_id: nil, credentials: nil, key: nil, scope: nil, retries: nil, timeout: nil, endpoint: nil) -> Google::Cloud::Translate::V2::Api

Creates a new object for connecting to Cloud Translation API. Each call creates a new connection.

Like other Cloud Platform services, Google Cloud Translation API supports authentication using a project ID and OAuth 2.0 credentials. In addition, it supports authentication using a public API access key. (If both the API key and the project and OAuth 2.0 credentials are provided, the API key will be used.) Instructions and configuration options are covered in the Authentication Guide.

Parameters
  • project_id (String) (defaults to: nil) — Project identifier for the Cloud Translation service you are connecting to. If not present, the default project for the credentials is used.
  • credentials (String, Hash, Google::Auth::Credentials) (defaults to: nil) — The path to the keyfile as a String, the contents of the keyfile as a Hash, or a Google::Auth::Credentials object. (See Credentials)
  • key (String) (defaults to: nil) — a public API access key (not an OAuth 2.0 token)
  • scope (String, Array<String>) (defaults to: nil) —

    The OAuth 2.0 scopes controlling the set of resources and operations that the connection can access. See Using OAuth 2.0 to Access Google APIs.

    The default scope is:

    • https://www.googleapis.com/auth/cloud-platform
  • retries (Integer) (defaults to: nil) — Number of times to retry requests on server error. The default value is 3. Optional.
  • timeout (Integer) (defaults to: nil) — Default timeout to use in requests. Optional.
  • endpoint (String) (defaults to: nil) — Override of the endpoint host name. Optional. If the param is nil, uses the default endpoint.

require "google/cloud/translate/v2"

translate = Google::Cloud::Translate::V2.new(
  version: :v2,
  project_id: "my-todo-project",
  credentials: "/path/to/keyfile.json"
)

translation = translate.translate "Hello world!", to: "la"
translation.text #=> "Salve mundi!"

Using API Key.

require "google/cloud/translate/v2"

translate = Google::Cloud::Translate::V2.new(
  key: "api-key-abc123XYZ789"
)

translation = translate.translate "Hello world!", to: "la"
translation.text #=> "Salve mundi!"

require "google/cloud/translate/v2"

ENV["TRANSLATE_KEY"] = "api-key-abc123XYZ789"

translate = Google::Cloud::Translate::V2.new

translation = translate.translate "Hello world!", to: "la"
translation.text #=> "Salve mundi!"
