Text Translation Client
Authentication
import TextTranslationClient, { TranslatorCredential } from "@azure-rest/ai-translation-text";
// API Key + Region
const credential: TranslatorCredential = {
key: process.env.TRANSLATOR_SUBSCRIPTION_KEY!,
region: process.env.TRANSLATOR_REGION!,
};
const client = TextTranslationClient(process.env.TRANSLATOR_ENDPOINT!, credential);
// Or just credential (uses global endpoint)
const client2 = TextTranslationClient(credential);
Translate Text
import TextTranslationClient, { isUnexpected } from "@azure-rest/ai-translation-text";
const response = await client.path("/translate").post({
body: {
inputs: [
{
text: "Hello, how are you?",
language: "en", // source (optional, auto-detect)
targets: [
{ language: "es" },
{ language: "fr" },
],
},
],
},
});
if (isUnexpected(response)) {
throw response.body.error;
}
for (const result of response.body.value) {
for (const translation of result.translations) {
console.log(`${translation.language}: ${translation.text}`);
}
}
Translate with Options
const response = await client.path("/translate").post({
body: {
inputs: [
{
text: "Hello world",
language: "en",
textType: "Plain", // or "Html"
targets: [
{
language: "de",
profanityAction: "NoAction", // "Marked" | "Deleted"
tone: "formal", // LLM-specific
},
],
},
],
},
});
Get Supported Languages
const response = await client.path("/languages").get();
if (isUnexpected(response)) {
throw response.body.error;
}
// Translation languages
for (const [code, lang] of Object.entries(response.body.translation || {})) {
console.log(`${code}: ${lang.name} (${lang.nativeName})`);
}
