GoogleCloudTranslation

Implements Google Cloud Translation Api for Coldbox Coldfusion See https://cloud.google.com/translate/ as well https://cloud.google.com/translate/docs/

The API supports two authentication methods: API Key or oAuth2 Currently API Key only is supported

Installation

You will need a Google Account to work with this API As well you need to set up Google Cloud APIs See here: https://cloud.google.com/translate/docs/getting-started

This API can be installed as standalone or as a ColdBox Module. Either approach requires a simple CommandBox command:

box install GoogleCloudTranslation

Then follow either the standalone or module instructions below.

Standalone

This API will be installed into a directory called GoogleCloudTranslation and then the API can be instantiated via new GoogleCloudStoreage.models.GoogleCloudTranslation() with the following constructor arguments:

<cfargument name="apiKey" 			required="true">

ColdBox Module

This package also is a ColdBox module as well. The module can be configured by adding GoogleApiKey in your application configuration file: config/Coldbox.cfc with the following settings:

	settings = {

		// Your Google API Key
		GoogleApiKey = "",
		
		// Your settings....

	};

Then you can leverage the API CFC via the injection DSL: `GoogleTranslation@GoogleCloudTranslation`

## Usage

/**

• A normal ColdBox Event Handler */ component{ property name="ggl" inject="GoogleTranslation@GoogleCloudTranslation";

  function index(event,rc,prc){

    // returns an array of supported language codes
    var l=ggl.getLanguages();
    writeDump(l);
  
    // returns true
    writeDump(ggl.isSupportedLanguage('de'));
  
    // returns false
    writeDump(ggl.isSupportedLanguage('XX'));
  
    // returns translated text as string
    var t=ggl.translate('Italy, Tuscany, View out of window to the garden of land house','en','de');
    writeDump(t);
  
    // detects language of a text
    // returns a struct with three values
    var t=ggl.detect('Italy, Tuscany, View out of window to the garden of land house.');
    writeDump(t);
  
    var t=ggl.detect('Dies ist ein kurzer deutscher Text');
    writeDump(t);		
  
    abort;
  

  } }
