Laravel package for Google Translate REST API

Package allows to work with Google Translate API

Installation

Package can be installed using composer by adding to "require" object

"require": {
    "aurawindsurfing/google-translate"
}

or from console:

composer require aurawindsurfing/google-translate

Configuration

After the installation, you should add "Dedicated\GoogleTranslate\GoogleTranslateProvider" to providers.

        'providers' => [
                /* 3rd Party Providers */
                Dedicated\GoogleTranslate\GoogleTranslateProvider::class,
         ],

Then you should publish config file to be able to add your Google API key. To publish config you should do:

php artisan vendor:publish \
--provider="Dedicated\GoogleTranslate\GoogleTranslateProvider" --tag=config

After config is published, you will have it in config\google-translate.php of your Laravel project directory

You should change only one line:

    ...
    
    /**
     * Google key for authentication
     */
    'api_key' => 'YOUR-GOOGLE-API-KEY-GOES-HERE',
    
    ...

Usage

To translate text with given source language and target language:

$translator = new Dedicated\GoogleTranslate\Translator;


$result = $translator->setSourceLang('en')
                     ->setTargetLang('ru')
                     ->translate('Hello World');
                           
dd($result); // "Привет мир"                           

By default language detection is turned on, so you can translate text without specifying source language.

This will make 2 requests to google API:

• First request will go to /detect URL and get source language name
• Second request will make actual translate request and give out result.

$translator = new Dedicated\GoogleTranslate\Translator;


$result = $translator->setTargetLang('ru')
                     ->translate('Hello World');
                           
dd($result); // "Привет мир"                           

You can also use function to only detect text's source language:

$result = $translator->detect('Hello World');

dd($result); // "en"
