As I can't always update the instance list (simplytranslate instances are run by volunteers):
- Search for new instances by simply googling "simplytranslate" and set the instance with setInstance = "instance"
- You could update the instances before with a function but the Codeberg project of the original devs is not reachable anymore
import 'package:simplytranslate/simplytranslate.dart';
void main() async {
///use Google Translate
final gt = SimplyTranslator(EngineType.google);
///if you do not specify the source language it is automatically selecting it depending on the text
///if you do not specify the target language it is automatically English
///get "hello" as an Audio-Url
///uses always Google TTS as Libretranslate doesnt support TTS, gives same result
///you can use https://pub.dev/packages/audioplayers to play it
print(gt.getTTSUrl("hello", "en"));
//https://simplytranslate.org/api/tts/?engine=google&lang=en&text=hello
///using Googletranslate:
///short form to only get translated text as String, also shorter code:
String textResult = await gt.trSimply("Er läuft schnell.", "de", 'en');
print(textResult);
//He walks fast.
///get time it took to translate
print(await gt.speedTest(gt.trSimply, "Er läuft schnell."));
//1278ms
///use Libretranslate
final lt = SimplyTranslator(EngineType.libre);
/// get the list with instances
print(gt.getInstances);
//[simplytranslate.org, st.tokhmi.xyz, translate.josias.dev, ...
///check if instance is working
print(await gt.isSimplyInstanceWorking("simplytranslate.pussthecat.org"));
//true
/// find other instances under https://simple-web.org/projects/simplytranslate.html
///change instance (defaut is simplytranslate.org)
gt.setInstance = "simplytranslate.pussthecat.org";
///using Libretranslate
///only text translation avaliable
///short form to only get translated text as String, also shorter code:
textResult = await lt.trSimply("Er läuft schnell.", "de", 'en');
///is the same as
textResult = await lt.trSimply("Er läuft schnell.");
print(textResult);
//he's running fast.- Max char length for Japanese, Chinese, and Korean is 1250. For other languages, it's 5000 due to different encoding results.
