AWS Translate JSON

Translate object values into other languages using the AWS translate API

Install as a npm package

• npm install aws-translate-json

Usage

Create an AWS account (Skip this step if you already have one):

• Create an account here.

There is a free tier to use the translation API that you can check here.

Create an IAM account with AWS Translation permissions only (Recommended):

• Login on AWS console and navigate to IAM panel
• Click on Users tab
• Click on Add User button
• Follow the steps and add a User with access to the Translation API only
• Store the access key and the secret in a secure place

Usage example:

const { AWSTranslateJSON } = require('aws-translate-json');

const awsConfig = {
    accessKeyId: process.env.AWS_TRANSLATE_ID,
    secretAccessKey: process.env.AWS_TRANSLATE_SECRET,
    region: process.env.AWS_TRANSLATE_REGION,
}

const source = "en";
const taget = ["pt", "it", "es"];

const { translateJSON } = new AWSTranslateJSON(awsConfig, source, taget);

translateJSON({
    key1: "my text here",
    key2: "other text",
    key3: {
        key4: "nested text"
    }
}).then(console.log);

/* OUTPUT:
    {
        pt: {
            key1: 'meu texto aqui',
            key2: 'outro texto',
            key3: {
                key4: 'texto aninhado'
            }
        },
        it: {
            key1: 'il mio testo qui',
            key2: 'altro testo',
            key3: {
                key4: 'testo nidificato'
            }
        },
        es: {
            key1: 'mi texto aquí',
            key2: 'otro texto',
            key3: {
                key4: 'texto anidado'
            }
        }
    }
