I looked around a bit for a google translate library in Ruby that would perform bulk calls and handle user_ips and API keys properly. There didn’t seem to be any, so I made one. I’ll be updating from time to time, but feel free to issue a ticket for anything major.
# auto-detect EasyTranslate.translate(‘Hello, world’, :to => :spanish) # => “Hola, mundo” EasyTranslate.translate(‘Hello, world’, :to => ‘es’) # => “Hola, mundo”
# feel free to specify explicitly EasyTranslate.translate(‘Hola, mundo’, :from => :spanish, :to => :en) # => “Hello, world”
# multiple strings EasyTranslate.translate_batch([‘Hello’, ‘Goodbye’], :to => :spanish) # => [“¡Hola”, “Despedida”]
# multiple languages EasyTranslate.translate_batch(‘Hello’, :to => :spanish, :french) # => [“¡Hola”, “Bonjour”]
# or both? EasyTranslate.translate_batch([‘Hello’, ‘Goodbye’], :to => [:es, :it]) # => [‘¡Hola’, ‘Despedida’, ‘Ciao’, ‘Addio’]
# make google happy - (NOTE: use these anywhere) EasyTranslate.translate(‘Hello, world’, :to => :es, :key => ‘xxx’, :user_ip => ‘127.0.0.1’)
# don’t want to set the key on every call? *Me either!* EasyTranslate.api_key = ‘xxx’
# detect language EasyTranslate.detect “This is definitely English!” # => ‘en’
# mention that you’re submitting HTML (translate calls only) EasyTranslate.translate(“Hello”, :html => true) # => “¡Hola”
# list from <translate.google.com/> EasyTranslate::LANGUAGES # => { ‘en’ => ‘english’, … }
