Yarn
yarn add @aws-sdk/client-translate
pnpm
pnpm add @aws-sdk/client-translate

TranslateClient Operations

Command
Summary
CreateParallelDataCommand

Creates a parallel data resource in Amazon Translate by importing an input file from Amazon S3. Parallel data files contain examples that show how you want segments of text to be translated. By adding parallel data, you can influence the style, tone, and word choice in your translation output.

DeleteParallelDataCommand

Deletes a parallel data resource in Amazon Translate.

DeleteTerminologyCommand

A synchronous action that deletes a custom terminology.

DescribeTextTranslationJobCommand

Gets the properties associated with an asynchronous batch translation job including name, ID, status, source and target languages, input/output S3 buckets, and so on.

GetParallelDataCommand

Provides information about a parallel data resource.

GetTerminologyCommand

Retrieves a custom terminology.

ImportTerminologyCommand

Creates or updates a custom terminology, depending on whether one already exists for the given terminology name. Importing a terminology with the same name as an existing one will merge the terminologies based on the chosen merge strategy. The only supported merge strategy is OVERWRITE, where the imported terminology overwrites the existing terminology of the same name.

If you import a terminology that overwrites an existing one, the new terminology takes up to 10 minutes to fully propagate. After that, translations have access to the new terminology.

ListLanguagesCommand

Provides a list of languages (RFC-5646 codes and names) that Amazon Translate supports.

ListParallelDataCommand

Provides a list of your parallel data resources in Amazon Translate.

ListTagsForResourceCommand

Lists all tags associated with a given Amazon Translate resource. For more information, see Tagging your resources .

ListTerminologiesCommand

Provides a list of custom terminologies associated with your account.

ListTextTranslationJobsCommand

Gets a list of the batch translation jobs that you have submitted.

StartTextTranslationJobCommand

Starts an asynchronous batch translation job. Use batch translation jobs to translate large volumes of text across multiple documents at once. For batch translation, you can input documents with different source languages (specify auto as the source language). You can specify one or more target languages. Batch translation translates each input document into each of the target languages. For more information, see Asynchronous batch processing .

Batch translation jobs can be described with the DescribeTextTranslationJob operation, listed with the ListTextTranslationJobs operation, and stopped with the StopTextTranslationJob operation.

StopTextTranslationJobCommand

Stops an asynchronous batch translation job that is in progress.

If the job's state is IN_PROGRESS, the job will be marked for termination and put into the STOP_REQUESTED state. If the job completes before it can be stopped, it is put into the COMPLETED state. Otherwise, the job is put into the STOPPED state.

Asynchronous batch translation jobs are started with the StartTextTranslationJob operation. You can use the DescribeTextTranslationJob or ListTextTranslationJobs operations to get a batch translation job's JobId.

TagResourceCommand

Associates a specific tag with a resource. A tag is a key-value pair that adds as a metadata to a resource. For more information, see Tagging your resources .

TranslateDocumentCommand

Translates the input document from the source language to the target language. This synchronous operation supports text, HTML, or Word documents as the input document.TranslateDocument supports translations from English to any supported language, and from any supported language to English. Therefore, specify either the source language code or the target language code as “en” (English).

If you set the Formality parameter, the request will fail if the target language does not support formality. For a list of target languages that support formality, see Setting formality .

TranslateTextCommand

Translates input text from the source language to the target language. For a list of available languages and language codes, see Supported languages .

UntagResourceCommand

Removes a specific tag associated with an Amazon Translate resource. For more information, see Tagging your resources .

UpdateParallelDataCommand

Updates a previously created parallel data resource by importing a new input file from Amazon S3.

TranslateClient Configuration

Parameter
Type
Description
defaultsMode
Optional
DefaultsMode | Provider<DefaultsMode>
The @smithy/smithy-client#DefaultsMode that will be used to determine how certain default configuration options are resolved in the SDK.
disableHostPrefix
Optional
boolean
Disable dynamically changing the endpoint of the client based on the hostPrefix trait of an operation.
extensions
Optional
RuntimeExtension[]
Optional extensions
logger
Optional
Logger
Optional logger for logging debug/info/warn/error.
maxAttempts
Optional
number | Provider<number>
Value for how many times a request will be made at most in case of retry.
profile
Optional
string
Setting a client profile is similar to setting a value for the AWS_PROFILE environment variable. Setting a profile on a client in code only affects the single client instance, unlike AWS_PROFILE.When set, and only for environments where an AWS configuration file exists, fields configurable by this file will be retrieved from the specified profile within that file. Conflicting code configuration and environment variables will still have higher priority.For client credential resolution that involves checking the AWS configuration file, the client's profile (this value) will be used unless a different profile is set in the credential provider options.
region
Optional
string | Provider<string>
The AWS region to which this client will send requests
requestHandler
Optional
__HttpHandlerUserInput
The HTTP handler to use or its constructor options. Fetch in browser and Https in Nodejs.
retryMode
Optional
string | Provider<string>
Specifies which retry algorithm to use.
useDualstackEndpoint
Optional
boolean | Provider<boolean>
Enables IPv6/IPv4 dualstack endpoint.
useFipsEndpoint
Optional
boolean | Provider<boolean>
Enables FIPS compatible endpoints.
Additional config fields are described in the full configuration type: TranslateClientConfig
