Example repository Azure-Translator-Example

The following example translates a simple Hello World to Portuguese, Spanish and French.

public class ExampleTranslator {
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    // Insert your Azure key and region here
    String azureKey = "<Your Azure Subscription Key>";
    String azureRegion = "<Your Azure Subscription Region>";
    AzureApi api = new AzureApiBuilder().setKey(azureKey).region(azureRegion).build();

    // Set up translation parameters
    List < String > targetLanguages = List.of("pt", "es", "fr");
    TranslateParams params =
            new TranslateParams("Hello World!", targetLanguages).setSourceLanguage("en");

    // Translate the text
    Optional < TranslationResponse > translationResult = api.translate(params).join();

    // Print the translations
    translationResult.ifPresent(
            response ->
                    response.getFirstResult().getTranslations().forEach(ExampleTranslator::logLanguage));
  }

  public static void logLanguage(Translation translation) {
    System.out.println(translation.getLanguageCode() + ": " + translation.getText());
  }
}

Expected Output

pt: Olá, Mundo!
es: ¡Hola mundo!
fr: Salut tout le monde!
