google-translate-open-api

A free and unlimited API for Google Translate（support single text and Multi-segment text） 💵🚫

中文| English

Feature

• Multi-segment text support
• Auto language detection
• Spelling correction
• Language correction
• Fast and reliable – it uses the same servers that translate.google.com uses
• Free and unlimited (translate.google.com uses a token to authorize the requests. If you are not Google, you do not have this token and will have to pay $20 per 1 million characters of text)

Install

npm install --save google-translate-open-api

Why this repo ？

when I have the following sentence. ( from How Are Function Components Different from Classes?)

Maybe you’ve heard one of them is better for performance. Which one? Many of such benchmarks are flawed so I’d be careful drawing conclusions from them.

I don't want to translate all the text first and I'd like to translate segment by segment. Especially in an article, the whole translation may not work well.

In the existing library, if I want to translate multi-segment text, I have to request multiple times.(like google-translate-api)

So I have to use the new api to implement, so the google-translate-open-api is born.

Usage

Single segment

import translate from 'google-translate-open-api';
const result = await translate(`I'm fine.`, {
  tld: "cn",
  to: "zh-CN",
});
const data = result.data[0];

// 我很好。

Multi-segment text

import translate from 'google-translate-open-api';

const result = await translate([`I'm fine.`, `I'm ok.`], {
  tld: "cn",
  to: "zh-CN",
});
const data = result.data[0];
// [[[["我很好。"]],null,"en"],[[["我可以。"]],null,"en"]]

Note: Multi-segment text result is different from single sentence. You need extra attention.

Multi-segment text contains mylti-sentence.

import translate, { parseMultiple } from 'google-translate-open-api';

const result = await translate([`I'm fine. And you?`,`I'm ok.`], {
  tld: "cn",
  to: "zh-CN",
});
// [[[[["<i>I&#39;m fine.</i> <b>我很好。</b> <i>And you?</i> <b>你呢？</b>"]],null,"en"],[[["我可以。"]],null,"en"]]]

// use parseMultiple
const data = result.data[0];
const parseData = parseMultiple(data);
// ["我很好。你呢？","我可以。"]

Proxy

proxy-config https://github.com/axios/axios#request-config

const result = await translate([`I'm fine. And you?`,`I'm ok.`], {
  tld: "cn",
  to: "zh-CN",
  proxy: {
    host: '127.0.0.1',
    port: 9000,
    auth: {
      username: 'mikeymike',
      password: 'rapunz3l'
    }
  }
});

Browers

const result = await translate([`I'm fine. And you?`,`I'm ok.`], {
  tld: "cn",
  to: "zh-CN",
  browers: true
});

const data = result.data[0];

// 我很好。

For commonJS

const translate = require('google-translate-open-api').default;
