  Yandex Translator

  The Yandex Translator component allows you to translate words and prayers between different languages.

  • You need Internet access, since you will request translations to the service Yandex Translate.
  • You must specify the origin and destination language in the form source-target using two letter language codes. For example: "en-es" will be translated from English to Spanish, while "es-ru" will be will translate from Spanish to Russian.
  • If you omit the origin language, the service will try to detect the language of origin. So if it provides only "is" it will try to detect the language of origin and translate it into Spanish.

  

  This component is powered by the Yandex translation service. See API Yandex for more information, including the list of available languages ​​and the meanings of the language codes and state.
  Note: The translation is done asynchronously in the background. When complete the translation, the "Got Translation" event is triggered.

• Events

  • Event that is executed when the Yandex.Translate service returns the translated text. This event also provides a response code for error handling. If the answer code is not 200, then something went wrong with the call and the translation it wont be available.

• Procedures

  • Request translation
  • 
  • This method will request a translation to Yandex by providing a language of destination to translate to (for example, 'es' for Spanish, 'en' for English or 'ru' for Russian) and a word or phrase to translate.
