Quickstart

Before you begin

1. Select or create a Cloud Platform project .
2. Enable billing for your project .
3. Enable the Cloud Translation API .
4. Set up authentication with a service account so you can access the API from your local workstation.

Installing the client library

 npm install @google-cloud/translate 

Using the client library

 /**
 * TODO(developer): Uncomment the following line before running the sample.
 */
// const projectId = 'YOUR_PROJECT_ID';

// Imports the Google Cloud client library
const {Translate} = require(' @google-cloud/translate 
').v2;

// Instantiates a client
const translate = new Translate 
({projectId});

async function quickStart() {
  // The text to translate
  const text = 'Hello, world!';

  // The target language
  const target = 'ru';

  // Translates some text into Russian
  const [translation] = await translate 
. translate 
(text, target);
  console.log(`Text: ${text}`);
  console.log(`Translation: ${translation}`);
}

quickStart();

Supported Node.js Versions

Our client libraries follow the Node.js release schedule . Libraries are compatible with all current active and maintenance versions of Node.js. If you are using an end-of-life version of Node.js, we recommend that you update as soon as possible to an actively supported LTS version.

Google's client libraries support legacy versions of Node.js runtimes on a best-efforts basis with the following warnings:

• Legacy versions are not tested in continuous integration.
• Some security patches and features cannot be backported.
• Dependencies cannot be kept up-to-date.

Client libraries targeting some end-of-life versions of Node.js are available, and can be installed through npm dist-tags . The dist-tags follow the naming convention legacy-(version) . For example, npm install @google-cloud/translate@legacy-8 installs client libraries for versions compatible with Node.js 8.

Versioning

This library follows Semantic Versioning .

This library is considered to be stable. The code surface will not change in backwards-incompatible ways unless absolutely necessary (e.g. because of critical security issues) or with an extensive deprecation period. Issues and requests against stablelibraries are addressed with the highest priority.
