gtranslate

How about we add this as a service ?

This is rate limited but works well.

It does NOT do the work splitting like dragoman.

package main

import (
	"fmt"

	"github.com/bregydoc/gtranslate"
)

func main() {
	text := "Hello, {firstName}! This is a title."
	translated, err := gtranslate.TranslateWithParams(
		text,
		gtranslate.TranslationParams{
			From: "en",
			To:   "ja",
		},
	)
	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}

	fmt.Printf("en: %s | ja: %s \n", text, translated)
	
}

We could add it as a new service in the Services folder called "gtranslate"

Just need to wrap it and match the DeepL code pattern i guess.
Also need to add the word splitting.

import (
  "github.com/bounoable/deepl"
)

client := deepl.New("your-auth-key")

translated, sourceLang, err := client.Translate(
  context.TODO(),
  "Hello, world",
  deepl.Chinese,
)
if err != nil {
  log.Fatal(err)
}

log.Println(fmt.Sprintf("source language: %s", sourceLang))
log.Println(translated)

So your idea is to add a new gtranslate service to access the Google Translate API for free? I like the idea, however I currently have no spare time to implement this. If you're interested, I would gladly merge a Pull Request that incorporates this feature.

Here's a basic guide to implementing it:

1. Create a new gtranslate service in the /service/gtranslate directory.
2. Implement the dragoman.Service interface similar to how deepl and the existing gcloud implementations are done.

You could start with something like this for the service.go file within the /service/gtranslate directory:

# /service/gtranslate/service.go
package gtranslate

import (
    "context"
    "github.com/bregydoc/gtranslate"
)

type Service struct{}

func (*Service) Translate(ctx context.Context, text, sourceLang, targetLang string) (string, error) {
    return gtranslate.TranslateWithParams(...)
}

3. Finally, remember to add a new --gtranslate flag to the cli package to allow users to choose gtranslate as an option.
