# google-translate-api [](https://travis-ci.org/matheuss/google-translate-api) [](https://github.com/sindresorhus/xo) [](https://coveralls.io/github/matheuss/google-translate-api?branch=master) [](https://snyk.io/test/npm/google-translate-api)
A **free** and **unlimited** API for Google Translate :dollar::no_entry_sign:
## Features
- Auto language detection
- Spelling correction
- Language correction
- Fast and reliable – it uses the same servers that [translate.google.com](https://translate.google.com) uses
## Install
```
npm install --save google-translate-api
```
## Usage
From automatic language detection to English:
``` js
const translate = require('google-translate-api');
translate('Ik spreek Engels', {to: 'en'}).then(res => {
console.log(res.text);
//=> I speak English
console.log(res.from.language.iso);
//=> nl
}).catch(err => {
console.error(err);
});
```
From English to Dutch with a typo:
``` js
translate('I spea Dutch!', {from: 'en', to: 'nl'}).then(res => {
console.log(res.text);
//=> Ik spreek Nederlands!
console.log(res.from.text.autoCorrected);
//=> true
console.log(res.from.text.value);
//=> I [speak] Dutch!
console.log(res.from.text.didYouMean);
//=> false
}).catch(err => {
console.error(err);
});
```
Sometimes, the API will not use the auto corrected text in the translation:
``` js
translate('I spea Dutch!', {from: 'en', to: 'nl'}).then(res => {
console.log(res);
console.log(res.text);
//=> Ik spea Nederlands!
console.log(res.from.text.autoCorrected);
//=> false
console.log(res.from.text.value);
//=> I [speak] Dutch!
console.log(res.from.text.didYouMean);
//=> true
}).catch(err => {
console.error(err);
});
```
## API
### translate(text, options)
#### text
Type: `string`
The text to be translated
#### options
Type: `object`
##### from
Type: `string` Default: `auto`
The `text` language. Must be `auto` or one of the codes/names (not case sensitive) contained in [languages.js](https://github.com/matheuss/google-translate-api/blob/master/languages.js)
##### to
Type: `string` Default: `en`
The language in which the text should be translated. Must be one of the codes/names (not case sensitive) contained in [languages.js](https://github.com/matheuss/google-translate-api/blob/master/languages.js).
##### raw
Type: `boolean` Default: `false`
If `true`, the returned object will have a `raw` property with the raw response (`string`) from Google Translate.
### Returns an `object`:
- `text` *(string)* – The translated text.
- `from` *(object)*
- `language` *(object)*
- `didYouMean` *(boolean)* - `true` if the API suggest a correction in the source language
- `iso` *(string)* - The [code of the language](https://github.com/matheuss/google-translate-api/blob/master/languages.js) that the API has recognized in the `text`
- `text` *(object)*
- `autoCorrected` *(boolean)* – `true` if the API has auto corrected the `text`
- `value` *(string)* – The auto corrected `text` or the `text` with suggested corrections
- `didYouMean` *(booelan)* – `true` if the API has suggested corrections to the `text`
- `raw` *(string)* - If `options.raw` is true, the raw response from Google Translate servers. Otherwise, `''`.
Note that `res.from.text` will only be returned if `from.text.autoCorrected` or `from.text.didYouMean` equals to `true`. In this case, it will have the corrections delimited with brackets (`[ ]`):
``` js
translate('I spea Dutch').then(res => {
console.log(res.from.text.value);
//=> I [speak] Dutch
}).catch(err => {
console.error(err);
});
```
Otherwise, it will be an empty `string` (`''`).
