Features
--------

* Detect language used for a string
* Translate a string from a source language to a target one
* Translate a string into a target language by using language auto-detection (consume 1 more API call)
* Retrieve all languages available on API and obtain language names in a given language
* Profile detector / translate / languages list API calls in the Symfony profiler!

Installation
------------

Add the bundle to your `composer.json` file:

```json
{
"require" : {
"eko/googletranslatebundle": "dev-master"
}
}
```

Add this to app/AppKernel.php

```php

```

Usages
------

### Detect a string language

Retrieve the detector service and call the `detect()` method:

```php
$detector = $this->get('eko.google_translate.detector');
$value = $detector->detect('Hi, this is my string to detect!');
// This will return 'en'
```

### Translate a string

Retrieve the translator service and call the `translate()` method:

```php
$translator = $this->get('eko.google_translate.translator');
$value = $translator->translate('Hi, this is my text to detect!', 'fr', 'en');
// This will return 'Salut, ceci est mon texte à détecter!'
```

### Translate a string from unknown language (use detector)

Retrieve the translator service and call the `translate()` method without the source (third) parameter:

```php
$translator = $this->get('eko.google_translate.translator');
$value = $translator->translate('Hi, this is my text to detect!', 'fr');
// This will return 'Salut, ceci est mon texte à détecter!'
```

### Translate multiple strings

Retrieve the translator service and call the `translate()` method with an array of your strings:

```php
$translator = $this->get('eko.google_translate.translator');
$value = $translator->translate(array('Hi', 'This is my second text to detect!'), 'fr', 'en');
// This will return the following array:
// array(
// 0 => 'Salut',
// 1 => 'Ceci est mon second texte à détecter !',
// )
```

Note that you can also use an "economic mode" to translate multiple strings in a single request which is better for your application performances.

Your translations will be concatenated in one single Google request. To use it, simply add `true` to the last argument:

```php
$translator = $this->get('eko.google_translate.translator');
$value = $translator->translate(array('Hi', 'This is my second text to detect!'), 'fr', 'en', true);
// This will return the following array:
// array(
// 0 => 'Salut',
// 1 => 'Ceci est mon second texte à détecter !',
// )
```

### Obtain all languages codes available

Retrieve the languages service and call the `get()` method without any argument:

```php
$languages = $this->get('eko.google_translate.languages')->get();
// This will return:
// array(
// array('language' => 'en'),
// array('language' => 'fr'),
// ...
// )
```

### Obtain all languages codes available with their names translated

Retrieve the languages service and call the `get()` method with a target language argument:

```php
$languages = $this->get('eko.google_translate.languages')->get('fr');
// This will return:
// array(
// array('language' => 'en', 'name' => 'Anglais'),
// array('language' => 'fr', 'name' => 'Français'),
// ...
// )
```

Notice: this will consume a detector API call.
