google-translate

A clojure wrapper for the Google Translate API.

Install

Add the following dependency to your project.clj file:

[google-translate "0.1.0"]

Credentials

Follow link to set up credentials, billing, etc...

https://cloud.google.com/translate/docs/setup

You'll need credentials to make api calls. These can be specified via an environment variable where [PATH] is the path to the json credentials for a particular google project. This is the project where any charges will be accounted for.

export GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS="[PATH]"

You can use an api-key as an alternative.

{:api-key "your api key"}

Store (and gitignore) it in ../config/creds.edn. Then set the authentication method to use an api-key instead of the environment variable.

(set-authentication-method! :api-key)

Usage

(use 'google-translate.core)

(detect "hola") => {:language "es", :confidence 0.91015625}

(translate! "hola mundo") => "Hello World"
(translate! "hola mundo" :from "es" :to "it") => "Ciao mondo"

Use the memoized versions to avoid duplicate google api invocations.

(m-detect "hola mundo") => "Hello World"
(m-translate! "hola mundo") => "Hello World"
