Usage

Basic Usage

Here is a basic example of how to use the Translator class:

const Translator = require('translator-module');
const translator = new Translator('fr'); // Default target language

async function translateMessage(text, targetLang) {
    try {
        const translatedText = await translator.translateText(text, targetLang);
        console.log(`Translated text: ${translatedText}`);
    } catch (error) {
        console.error('Error translating text:', error);
    }
}

// Example usage
translateMessage('Hello, world!', 'es'); // Translate to Spanish

Discord Bot Example

Here is an example of how to use the Translator module in a Discord bot:

• Install the necessary packages:

npm install discord.js translator-module

• Create the bot file (bot.js):

const { Client, Intents } = require('discord.js');
const Translator = require('translator-module');
const client = new Client({ intents: [Intents.FLAGS.GUILDS, Intents.FLAGS.GUILD_MESSAGES] });

const translator = new Translator('fr'); // Default target language

client.once('ready', () => {
    console.log(`Logged in as ${client.user.tag}!`);
});

client.on('messageCreate', async message => {
    if (message.content.startsWith('!translate')) {
        const args = message.content.slice(11).trim().split(' ');
        const text = args.slice(1).join(' ');
        const targetLang = args[0] || 'fr';

        if (!text) {
            return message.channel.send('Usage: !translate <targetLang> <text>');
        }

        try {
            const translatedText = await translator.translateText(text, targetLang);
            message.channel.send(`Translated text: ${translatedText}`);
        } catch (error) {
            message.channel.send('Error translating text.');
        }
    }
});

client.login('YOUR_DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN');

• Run the bot:

node bot.js
