Laravel package for Google Translate REST API

Package allows to work with [Google Translate API](https://cloud.google.com/translate/)

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

[](#installation)

Package can be installed using composer by adding to "require" object

```
"require": {
    "ddctd143/google-translate": "dev-master"
}

```

or from console:

```
composer require ddctd143/google-translate dev-master

```

Configuration
-------------

[](#configuration)

You should publish config file to be able to add your Google API key. To publish config you should do:

```
php artisan vendor:publish \
--provider="Dedicated\GoogleTranslate\GoogleTranslateProvider" --tag=config

```

After config is published, you will have it in `config\google-translate.php` of your Laravel project directory

You should change only one line:

```
    ...

    /**
     * Google key for authentication
     */
    'api_key' => 'YOUR-GOOGLE-API-KEY-GOES-HERE',

    ...

```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

To translate text with given source language and target language:

```
$translator = new Dedicated\GoogleTranslate\Translator;

$result = $translator->setSourceLang('en')
                     ->setTargetLang('ru')
                     ->translate('Hello World');

dd($result); // "Привет мир"

```

By default language detection is turned on, so you can translate text without specifying source language.

This will make 2 requests to google API:

- First request will go to /detect URL and get source language name
- Second request will make actual translate request and give out result.

```
$translator = new Dedicated\GoogleTranslate\Translator;

$result = $translator->setTargetLang('ru')
                     ->translate('Hello World');

dd($result); // "Привет мир"

```

You can also use function to only detect text's source language:

```

$result = $translator->detect('Hello World');

dd($result); // "en"

```
