Methods

batchTranslateText(request, optionsopt) → {Promise}

Translates a large volume of text in asynchronous batch mode. This function provides real-time output as the inputs are being processed. If caller cancels a request, the partial results (for an input file, it's all or nothing) may still be available on the specified output location.

This call returns immediately and you can use google.longrunning.Operation.name to poll the status of the call.

Parameters:
Name Type Attributes Description
request Object

The request object that will be sent.

Properties
Name Type Attributes Description
parent string

Required. Location to make a call. Must refer to a caller's project.

Format: projects/{project-number-or-id}/locations/{location-id}.

The global location is not supported for batch translation.

Only AutoML Translation models or glossaries within the same region (have the same location-id) can be used, otherwise an INVALID_ARGUMENT (400) error is returned.
sourceLanguageCode string

Required. Source language code.
targetLanguageCodes Array.<string>

Required. Specify up to 10 language codes here.
models Array.<number> <optional>

Optional. The models to use for translation. Map's key is target language code. Map's value is model name. Value can be a built-in general model, or an AutoML Translation model.

The value format depends on model type:

  • AutoML Translation models: projects/{project-number-or-id}/locations/{location-id}/models/{model-id}

  • General (built-in) models: projects/{project-number-or-id}/locations/{location-id}/models/general/nmt, projects/{project-number-or-id}/locations/{location-id}/models/general/base

If the map is empty or a specific model is not requested for a language pair, then default google model (nmt) is used.
inputConfigs Array.<number>

Required. Input configurations. The total number of files matched should be <= 1000. The total content size should be <= 100M Unicode codepoints. The files must use UTF-8 encoding.
outputConfig google.cloud.translation.v3.OutputConfig

Required. Output configuration. If 2 input configs match to the same file (that is, same input path), we don't generate output for duplicate inputs.
glossaries Array.<number> <optional>

Optional. Glossaries to be applied for translation. It's keyed by target language code.
labels Array.<number> <optional>

Optional. The labels with user-defined metadata for the request.

Label keys and values can be no longer than 63 characters (Unicode codepoints), can only contain lowercase letters, numeric characters, underscores and dashes. International characters are allowed. Label values are optional. Label keys must start with a letter.
