Cloud Translation: Node.js Client

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

A comprehensive list of changes in each version may be found inthe CHANGELOG.

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 theAPI 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 libraryconst {Translate} = require('@google-cloud/translate').v2;// Instantiates a clientconst translate = newTranslate({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] = awaittranslate.translate(text, target);  console.log(`Text: ${text}`);  console.log(`Translation: ${translation}`);}quickStart();

Supported Node.js Versions

Our client libraries follow theNode.js release schedule.Libraries are compatible with all currentactive andmaintenance versions ofNode.js.

Client libraries targeting some end-of-life versions of Node.js are available, andcan be installed via npmdist-tags.The dist-tags follow the naming conventionlegacy-(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 versionscompatible with Node.js 8.

Versioning

This library followsSemantic Versioning.

This library is considered to beGeneral Availability (GA). This means itis stable; the code surface will not change in backwards-incompatible waysunless absolutely necessary (e.g. because of critical security issues) or withan extensive deprecation period. Issues and requests againstGA librariesare addressed with the highest priority.
