Translates input text and returns translated text.

Scopes

You will need authorization for at least one of the following scopes to make a valid call:

• https://www.googleapis.com/auth/cloud-platform
• https://www.googleapis.com/auth/cloud-translation

If unset, the scope for this method defaults to https://www.googleapis.com/auth/cloud-platform. You can set the scope for this method like this: translate3 --scope <scope> projects translate-text ...

Required Scalar Argument

• <parent> (string)
  • Required. Project or location to make a call. Must refer to a caller's project. Format: projects/{project-number-or-id} or projects/{project-number-or-id}/locations/{location-id}. For global calls, use projects/{project-number-or-id}/locations/global or projects/{project-number-or-id}. Non-global location is required for requests using AutoML models or custom glossaries. Models and glossaries must be within the same region (have same location-id), otherwise an INVALID_ARGUMENT (400) error is returned.

Required Request Value

The request value is a data-structure with various fields. Each field may be a simple scalar or another data-structure. In the latter case it is advised to set the field-cursor to the data-structure's field to specify values more concisely.

For example, a structure like this:

TranslateTextRequest:
  contents: [string]
  glossary-config:
    glossary: string
    ignore-case: boolean
  labels: { string: string }
  mime-type: string
  model: string
  source-language-code: string
  target-language-code: string
  transliteration-config:
    enable-transliteration: boolean

can be set completely with the following arguments which are assumed to be executed in the given order. Note how the cursor position is adjusted to the respective structures, allowing simple field names to be used most of the time.

• -r . contents=et
  • Required. The content of the input in string format. We recommend the total content be less than 30,000 codepoints. The max length of this field is 1024. Use BatchTranslateText for larger text.
  • Each invocation of this argument appends the given value to the array.
• glossary-config glossary=elitr
  • Required. The glossary to be applied for this translation. The format depends on the glossary: - User-provided custom glossary: projects/{project-number-or-id}/locations/{location-id}/glossaries/{glossary-id}

• ignore-case=false

  • Optional. Indicates match is case insensitive. The default value is false if missing.

• .. labels=key=no

  • Optional. The labels with user-defined metadata for the request. Label keys and values can be no longer than 63 characters (Unicode codepoints), can only contain lowercase letters, numeric characters, underscores and dashes. International characters are allowed. Label values are optional. Label keys must start with a letter. See https://cloud.google.com/translate/docs/advanced/labels for more information.
  • the value will be associated with the given key
• mime-type=nonumy
  • Optional. The format of the source text, for example, "text/html", "text/plain". If left blank, the MIME type defaults to "text/html".
• model=at
  • Optional. The model type requested for this translation. The format depends on model type: - AutoML Translation models: projects/{project-number-or-id}/locations/{location-id}/models/{model-id} - General (built-in) models: projects/{project-number-or-id}/locations/{location-id}/models/general/nmt, For global (non-regionalized) requests, use location-id global. For example, projects/{project-number-or-id}/locations/global/models/general/nmt. If not provided, the default Google model (NMT) will be used
• source-language-code=sadipscing
  • Optional. The ISO-639 language code of the input text if known, for example, "en-US" or "sr-Latn". Supported language codes are listed in Language Support. If the source language isn't specified, the API attempts to identify the source language automatically and returns the source language within the response.
• target-language-code=aliquyam
  • Required. The ISO-639 language code to use for translation of the input text, set to one of the language codes listed in Language Support.
• transliteration-config enable-transliteration=true
  • If true, source text in romanized form can be translated to the target language.

About Cursors

The cursor position is key to comfortably set complex nested structures. The following rules apply:

• The cursor position is always set relative to the current one, unless the field name starts with the . character. Fields can be nested such as in -r f.s.o .
• The cursor position is set relative to the top-level structure if it starts with ., e.g. -r .s.s
• You can also set nested fields without setting the cursor explicitly. For example, to set a value relative to the current cursor position, you would specify -r struct.sub_struct=bar.
• You can move the cursor one level up by using ... Each additional . moves it up one additional level. E.g. ... would go three levels up.

Optional Output Flags

The method's return value a JSON encoded structure, which will be written to standard output by default.

• -o out
  • out specifies the destination to which to write the server's result to. It will be a JSON-encoded structure. The destination may be - to indicate standard output, or a filepath that is to contain the received bytes. If unset, it defaults to standard output.

Optional General Properties

The following properties can configure any call, and are not specific to this method.

• -p $-xgafv=string

  • V1 error format.

• -p access-token=string

  • OAuth access token.

• -p alt=string

  • Data format for response.

• -p callback=string

  • JSONP

• -p fields=string

  • Selector specifying which fields to include in a partial response.

• -p key=string

  • API key. Your API key identifies your project and provides you with API access, quota, and reports. Required unless you provide an OAuth 2.0 token.

• -p oauth-token=string

  • OAuth 2.0 token for the current user.

• -p pretty-print=boolean

  • Returns response with indentations and line breaks.

• -p quota-user=string

  • Available to use for quota purposes for server-side applications. Can be any arbitrary string assigned to a user, but should not exceed 40 characters.

• -p upload-type=string

  • Legacy upload protocol for media (e.g. "media", "multipart").

• -p upload-protocol=string

  • Upload protocol for media (e.g. "raw", "multipart").
