# TypeScript typings for Google Cloud Translation API v2 The Google Cloud Translation API lets websites and programs integrate with Google Translate programmatically. For detailed description please check [documentation](https://code.google.com/apis/language/translate/v2/getting_started.html). ## Installing Install typings for Google Cloud Translation API: ``` npm install @types/gapi.client.translate@v2 --save-dev ``` ## Usage You need to initialize Google API client in your code: ```typescript gapi.load("client", () => { // now we can use gapi.client // ... }); ``` Then load api client wrapper: ```typescript gapi.client.load('translate', 'v2', () => { // now we can use gapi.client.translate // ... }); ``` Don't forget to authenticate your client before sending any request to resources: ```typescript // declare client_id registered in Google Developers Console var client_id = '', scope = [ // View and manage your data across Google Cloud Platform services 'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/cloud-platform', // Translate text from one language to another using Google Translate 'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/cloud-translation', ], immediate = true; // ... gapi.auth.authorize({ client_id: client_id, scope: scope, immediate: immediate }, authResult => { if (authResult && !authResult.error) { /* handle succesfull authorization */ } else { /* handle authorization error */ } }); ``` After that you can use Google Cloud Translation API resources: ```typescript /* Detects the language of text within a request. */ await gapi.client.detections.detect({ }); /* Detects the language of text within a request. */ await gapi.client.detections.list({ q: "q", }); /* Returns a list of supported languages for translation. */ await gapi.client.languages.list({ }); /* Translates input text, returning translated text. */ await gapi.client.translations.list({ q: "q", target: "target", }); /* Translates input text, returning translated text. */ await gapi.client.translations.translate({ }); ```
