Watson Language Translator gem

Wlt is a command line application and API to translate text using the Watson Language Translator service.

Before you can use Wlt you need to create a set of credentials see: https://console.bluemix.net/docs/services/watson/getting-started-credentials.html#getting-credentials-manually

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'wlt'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install wlt

Usage

You can do translations via the CLI or using the Wlt API

CLI

Translate a file:

$ wlt --username=<your-watson-username> --password=<your-watson-password> --file=path/to/file

Save your credentials locally in order not to pass them every time you want to do a translation:

$ wlt --username=<your-watson-username> --password=<your-watson-password> --save-credentials

Choose different source and target languages:

$ wlt --source=es --target=en --file=path/to/file

Use process substitution to pass your text directly in the command line:

$ wlt --file=<(echo "Hello world!")

Print out the help message

$ wlt --help

API

require 'wlt'

creds_manager = Wlt::CredsManager.new('<your-watson-username>', '<your-watson-password>')
translate_args = { text: 'Hello world!', source: 'en', target: 'es' }
result = Wlt::Translator.new(creds_manager).translate(translate_args)
