TranslatorText

API Wrapper for the Microsoft Translator Text API 3.0 (Cognitive Services).

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'translator-text'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install translator-text

• To be able to use the Cognitive Services, you must have an API key and for that you need an Azure account.
• If you don't have an Azure account, you can create one for free on this page.
• Once logged on your Azure portal, subscribe to the Translator Text API in Microsoft Cognitive Service.
• You will find two subscription keys available in 'RESOURCE MANAGEMENT > Keys' ('KEY 1' and 'KEY 2').

You can instanciate your own client by passing the Azure authentication parameters.

require 'translator-text'

client = TranslatorText::Client.new(api_key, api_region)

Or use the built-in that uses the following environment variables:

• COGNITIVE_SUBSCRIPTION_KEY: The value is the Azure secret key for your subscription to Translator.
• COGNITIVE_SUBSCRIPTION_REGION: The value is the region of the multi-service or regional translator resource. This value is optional when using a global translator resource.

require 'translator-text'

client = TranslatorText.client

require 'translator-text'

results = TranslatorText.client.translate(
	['something to translate', 'another something to translate'],
	to: [:fr, :es]
)

# Returns
# [
#   #<TranslationResult detectedLanguage={"language"=>"en", "score"=>1.0} translations=[
#     #<Translation text="Première phrase" to="fr">,
#     #<Translation text="Primera oración" to="es">]>,
#   #<TranslationResult detectedLanguage={"language"=>"en", "score"=>1.0} translations=[
#     #<Translation text="Deuxième phrase" to="fr">, 
#     #<Translation text="Segunda oración" to="es">]>
# ]

require 'translator-text'

results = TranslatorText.client.detect(['some unknown language', 'quelque chose à détecter'])

# Returns

#   #<DetectionResult language=:en score=1.0 isTranslationSupported=true isTransliterationSupported=false alternatives=[
