Translating between languages with Language Translator

To start, provision a new Language Translator service instance. Once that's done, head over to your favorite text editor, open up a new Python file, and let's get coding:

1. Import the service:

from watson_developer_cloud import LanguageTranslatorV3

2. Initialize the API:

language_translator = LanguageTranslatorV3(version=“2018-05-01”, iam_apikey=“rvE894AVGJQ_t_ZNuUoQrclWWQwvpFB0_78jr9pvtjIl”)

Of course, you should use your own API Key.

3. We just need to translate and get our result! But let's make it a bit prettier, and create a command-line interface for it:

print “Enter a sentence in English:”
eng_sent = raw_input()
translation = language_translator.translate(text=eng_sent, model_id=“en-fr”).get_result()[“translations”][0][“translation”]
print “Your sentence in French is:\n” + translation

4. Run your code, and let's see some output:

Enter a sentence in English:
My name is Frank Felix
Your sentence in French is:
Je m'appelle Frank Felix

Enter a sentence...
