TypeScript typings for Google Cloud Translation API v2

The Google Cloud Translation API lets websites and programs integrate with Google Translate programmatically. For detailed description please check documentation.

Installing

Install typings for Google Cloud Translation API:

npm install @types/gapi.client.translate-v2 --save-dev

Usage

You need to initialize Google API client in your code:

gapi.load('client', () => {
  // now we can use gapi.client
  // ...
});

Then load api client wrapper:

gapi.client.load('https://translation.googleapis.com/$discovery/rest?version=v2', () => {
  // now we can use:
  // gapi.client.language
});

// Deprecated, use discovery document URL, see https://github.com/google/google-api-javascript-client/blob/master/docs/reference.md#----gapiclientloadname----version----callback--
gapi.client.load('translate', 'v2', () => {
  // now we can use:
  // gapi.client.language
});

Don't forget to authenticate your client before sending any request to resources:

// declare client_id registered in Google Developers Console
var client_id = '',
  scope = [
      // View and manage your data across Google Cloud Platform services
      'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/cloud-platform',

      // Translate text from one language to another using Google Translate
      'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/cloud-translation',
    ],
    immediate = true;
// ...

gapi.auth.authorize(
  { client_id: client_id, scope: scope, immediate: immediate },
  authResult => {
    if (authResult && !authResult.error) {
        /* handle successful authorization */
    } else {
        /* handle authorization error */
    }
});

After that you can use Google Cloud Translation API resources:

/*
Detects the language of text within a request.
*/
await gapi.client.language.detections.detect({  });

/*
Detects the language of text within a request.
*/
await gapi.client.language.detections.list({ q: "q",  });

/*
Returns a list of supported languages for translation.
*/
await gapi.client.language.languages.list({  });

/*
Translates input text, returning translated text.
*/
await gapi.client.language.translations.list({ q: "q", target: "target",  });

/*
Translates input text, returning translated text.
*/
await gapi.client.language.translations.translate({  });
