Google Cloud translate JSON file

Question

I would like to translate the fields of a composite JSON object using Google Cloud Platform, instead of translating every single sentence on its own. Is it possible?

Example (from English to Italian):

Origin JSON file:

{job_description: {
    name: "Taxi driver",
    description: "like the movie"
    }
}

Output JSON file:

{job_description: {
    name: "Tassista",
    description: "Come nel film"
    }
}

You could look into github.com/fkirc/attranslate. "attranslate" is a simple tool for translating JSON-files, and it also supports Google Cloud. – Forgo

Answer 1

Translation API accepts only plain-text or HTML as a format [1].

To achieve your goal, load your JSON file as an object in your code, send the fields to the Translation API, edit the object with the translation result and then generate a JSON file from your new object.

So basically appending them as "q" parameters to the api endpoint url? It makes sense as a solution. Still hope it could be implemented one day. Thanks for your contribute. – Muco

If you are using API yes, you can also have look at client libraries – Coagulase
