google-cloud-translate

Google Translate (docs) 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 Translate API for fast, dynamic translation of source text. Language detection is also available in cases where the source language is unknown.

Translate API supports more than ninety 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.

Quick Start

$ gem install google-cloud-translate

Authentication

Unlike other Cloud Platform services, which authenticate using a project ID and OAuth 2.0 credentials, Translate API requires a public API access key. (This may change in future releases of Translate API.) Follow the general instructions at Identifying your application to Google, and the specific instructions for Server keys.

Instructions and configuration options are covered in the Authentication Guide.

Example

require "google/cloud"

gcloud = Google::Cloud.new
translate = gcloud.translate

translation = translate.translate "Hello world!", to: "la"

puts translation #=> Salve mundi!

translation.from #=> "en"
translation.origin #=> "Hello world!"
translation.to #=> "la"
translation.text #=> "Salve mundi!"
