Quickstart

Before you begin

1. Select or create a Cloud Platform project.
2. Enable billing for your project.
3. Enable the Cloud Media Translation API.
4. Set up authentication with a service account so you can access the API from your local workstation.

Installing the client library

npm install @google-cloud/media-translation

Using the client library

const fs = require('fs');

// Imports the CLoud Media Translation client library
const {
  SpeechTranslationServiceClient,
} = require('@google-cloud/media-translation');

// Creates a client
const client = new SpeechTranslationServiceClient();

async function quickstart() {
  /**
   * TODO(developer): Uncomment the following lines before running the sample.
   */
  // const filename = 'Local path to audio file, e.g. /path/to/audio.raw';
  // const encoding = 'Encoding of the audio file, e.g. LINEAR16';
  // const sourceLanguage = 'BCP-47 source language code, e.g. en-US';
  // const targetLanguage = 'BCP-47 target language code, e.g. es-ES';

  const config = {
    audioConfig: {
      audioEncoding: encoding,
      sourceLanguageCode: sourceLanguage,
      targetLanguageCode: targetLanguage,
    },
  };

  // First request needs to have only a streaming config, no data.
  const initialRequest = {
    streamingConfig: config,
    audioContent: null,
  };

  const readStream = fs.createReadStream(filename, {
    highWaterMark: 4096,
    encoding: 'base64',
  });

  const chunks = [];
  readStream
    .on('data', chunk => {
      const request = {
        streamingConfig: config,
        audioContent: chunk.toString(),
      };
      chunks.push(request);
    })
    .on('close', () => {
      // Config-only request should be first in stream of requests
      stream.write(initialRequest);
      for (let i = 0; i < chunks.length; i++) {
        stream.write(chunks[i]);
      }
      stream.end();
    });

  const stream = client.streamingTranslateSpeech().on('data', response => {
    const {result} = response;
    if (result.textTranslationResult.isFinal) {
      console.log(
        `\nFinal translation: ${result.textTranslationResult.translation}`
      );
      console.log(`Final recognition result: ${result.recognitionResult}`);
    } else {
      console.log(
        `\nPartial translation: ${result.textTranslationResult.translation}`
      );
      console.log(`Partial recognition result: ${result.recognitionResult}`);
    }
  });

Samples

Samples are in the samples/ directory. Each sample's README.md has instructions for running its sample.

Sample	Source Code	Try it
Quickstart	source code
Translate_from_file	source code
Translate_from_mic	source code

The Cloud Media Translation Node.js Client API Reference documentation also contains samples.

Supported Node.js Versions

Our client libraries follow the Node.js release schedule. Libraries are compatible with all current active and maintenance versions of Node.js. If you are using an end-of-life version of Node.js, we recommend that you update as soon as possible to an actively supported LTS version.

Google's client libraries support legacy versions of Node.js runtimes on a best-efforts basis with the following warnings:

• Legacy versions are not tested in continuous integration.
• Some security patches and features cannot be backported.
• Dependencies cannot be kept up-to-date.

Client libraries targeting some end-of-life versions of Node.js are available, and can be installed through npm dist-tags. The dist-tags follow the naming convention legacy-(version). For example, npm install @google-cloud/media-translation@legacy-8 installs client libraries for versions compatible with Node.js 8.

Versioning

This library follows Semantic Versioning.

This library is considered to be stable. The code surface will not change in backwards-incompatible ways unless absolutely necessary (e.g. because of critical security issues) or with an extensive deprecation period. Issues and requests against stable libraries are addressed with the highest priority.
