node-wiktionary-translation
Library for Wiktionary word translation
General notes
Wiktionary.org is a difficult platform to use programmatically as each language has a template of its own (some share a template, but the variation is unbelievably large).
As it currently stands, this library can get word translations without further explanations. The following languages are supported:
- Chinese (https://zh.wiktionary.org/)
- Dutch (https://nl.wiktionary.org/)
- English (https://en.wiktionary.org/)
- Finnish (https://fi.wiktionary.org/)
- French (https://fr.wiktionary.org/)
- German (https://de.wiktionary.org/)
- Italian (https://it.wiktionary.org/)
- Spanish (https://es.wiktionary.org/)
- Swedish (https://sv.wiktionary.org/)
Usage
Example:
var wiktionary = require('node-wiktionary-translation')();
// English terms for "Hafen" (German)
wiktionary.getDefinition('Hafen', 'de', 'en', function (terms, err) {
// terms contains an array of "harbour", "port" and "haven"
});An optional configuration object can be given as parameter. Currently only a logger can be given, e.g.:
var myOwnLogger = ...;
var wiktionary = require('node-wiktionary-translation')({
logger: myOwnLogger
});License
