## Install

    $ npm install -g gtranslate

[![NPM](https://nodei.co/npm/gtranslate.png?downloads=true&downloadRank=true)](https://nodei.co/npm/gtranslate/)

## Usage

1. Register and setup a new **API key** from the [Google Cloud](https://support.google.com/cloud/answer/6158862?hl=en).

2. type `gtranslate register ` with your APIKEY:

**Heads Up**! The API_KEY is stored in your home directory in a file called `.gtranslate`

3. That's it!

### Common usage

Register a new `API_KEY`:

    $ gtranslate -r 

Translate with language autodetect and default target language:

    $ gtranslate 

Basic translation (with source language autodetect):

    $ gtranslate -t en 

Provide the `--source (-s)` language:

    $ gtranslate -s it -t en 

Set a default target language:

    $ gtranslate --set-target it

(By default EN is the default target language)

## Available options

```text

--register OR -r     Set a new Google Translate API KEY

--source OR -s     Provide the source language

--target OR -t     Provide the target language

--set-target OR -st     Set a default target language [EN by default]

```

## Build

Clone this repository to your local folder, then link it to enable you to use the command line tool from your source folder using `npm link`.

Then you can simply call `gtranslate -t it -s en "really cool"`.

Don't forget to register your api key before using it as well.

Tests are written in mocha and run by `npm test` or `npm run test-watch`.
