Class Method Details

.translate(key = nil, retries: nil, timeout: nil) ⇒ Google::Cloud::Translate::Api

Creates a new object for connecting to the Translate service. Each call creates a new connection.

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

Examples:

require "google/cloud"

translate = Google::Cloud.translate "api-key-abc123XYZ789"

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

Using API Key from the environment variable.

require "google/cloud"

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

translate = Google::Cloud.translate

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

Parameters:

  • key (String) (defaults to: nil) —

    a public API access key (not an OAuth 2.0 token)

  • retries (Integer) —

    Number of times to retry requests on server error. The default value is 3. Optional.

  • timeout (Integer) —

    Default timeout to use in requests. Optional.

Returns:
