Cloud Translation API C++ Client Library

An idiomatic C++ client library for the Cloud Translation API, a service to integrate text translation into your website or application.

While this library is GA, please note Google Cloud C++ client libraries do not follow Semantic Versioning.

Quickstart

The following shows the code that you'll run in the google/cloud/translate/quickstart/ directory, which should give you a taste of the Cloud Translation API C++ client library API.

#include "google/cloud/translate/v3/translation_client.h" #include "google/cloud/project.h" #include <iostream> auto constexpr kText = R"""( Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.)"""; int main(int argc, char* argv[]) try { if (argc < 2 || argc > 3) { std::cerr << "Usage: " << argv[0] << " project-id " << "[target-language (default: es-419)]\n"; return 1; } namespace translate = ::google::cloud::translate_v3; auto client = translate::TranslationServiceClient( translate::MakeTranslationServiceConnection()); auto const project = google::cloud::Project(argv[1]); auto const target = std::string{argc >= 3 ? argv[2] : "es-419"}; auto response = client.TranslateText(project.FullName(), target, {std::string{kText}}); if (!response) throw std::move(response).status(); for (auto const& translation : response->translations()) { std::cout << translation.translated_text() << "\n"; } return 0; } catch (google::cloud::Status const& status) { std::cerr << "google::cloud::Status thrown: " << status << "\n"; return 1; }

Main classes

The main class in this library is translate_v3::TranslationServiceClient. All RPCs are exposed as member functions of this class. Other classes provide helpers, configuration parameters, and infrastructure to mock translate_v3::TranslationServiceClient when testing your application.
