Google translate api browser
Based on google-translate-api and google-translate-token
Install
npm install google-translate-api-browser
For cross origin requests it uses cors-anywhere
. You can use public cors-anywhere server https://cors-anywhere.herokuapp.com/
or set up your own. By default it does not use proxying.
Examples
For browser
import { translate } from "google-translate-api-browser";
translate("Je ne mangé pas six jours", { to: "en", corsUrl: "http://cors-anywhere.herokuapp.com/" })
.then(res => {
// I do not eat six days
console.log(res.text)
})
.catch(err => {
console.error(err);
});
For node (commonjs)
You don't need to use CORS for node
const { translate } = require('google-translate-api-browser');
translate("Je ne mangé pas six jours", { to: "en" })
.then(res => {
// I do not eat six days
console.log(res.text)
})
.catch(err => {
console.error(err);
});
