Streaming Translation tool using Azure's Cognitive Services

Installation

You know the drill...

Setup

To use this tool, you'll first need to create an instance of Microsoft Azure's Cognitive Services in your Azure account.

This plugin calls the v3 translate api.

Api

translateAzure(config)

The config is an object consisting of:

• apiKey - required string - the api key from your azure congnitive services instance
• region - required string - the region from your azure congnitive services instance
• toLangs - required string[] - array of locale codes to translate the source content to
• fromLang - optional string - the locale code that will be used as the source language (default: determined)
• slowMode - optional boolean - requests all translations in series. (default: false)
• showErrors - optional boolean - displays network errors when encountered. (default false)

Note: apiKey and region are values from the Congnitive Services instance you create in your Azure account. Once created, Check the "Keys and Endpoint" tab to get these values.

A list of supported languages can be found here.
