Automated Translation in Javascript with Google Translate API
The main thing to know here is that Google's AI does not know how Google's API interface works. It will give you advice that works fine with GET requests but translating anything fancy requires POST, which Google's AI doesn't understand. That's what I spent most of my afternoon discovering. The rest of my afternoon was spent figuring out how it actually works, though. There are two major steps: first, setting up access to the translation API, and second, actually coding the Javascript. The second step is the easier step. Setting Up Access Note that I have a Google account and therefore access to the Google console. You'll need to set this up with Google Cloud. There may be costs involved; I have a business account which I pay for but I assume this would still work with a personal account. If you need to pay money anywhere I'm sure Google will tell you. 1.
