Hands-On Python Deep Learning for the Web

Using the Google Cloud Translation Python library

Create a new Jupyter notebook or a new Python script. We will now import the Google Cloud Translate API to our project.

1. To do so, use the following code:

from google.cloud import translate_v2 as translate

2. We would need to create a Cloud Translate API object to make the service calls. We can do so as follows:

translate_client = translate.Client()

3. Let's now begin with the translation process. First, we need a message to translate:

original = u'नमस्ते'

This creates a Unicode string containing the word Namaste in Hindi. Let's see what it converts to in English!

We call the API to translate the text into English using the following code:

translation = translate_client.translate(original, ...
