**Simple translator class with some translate providers**

### Usage

[](#usage)

```
 $translator = new Picolab\Translator\Translator();

 // set up your translating provider from available providers
 $translator->setProvider($translateProvider);

 // translate:
 $translation = $translator->from('en')->to('ru')->translate('Some other language');

 // You can output the results immediately with echo
 echo $translation;
 // output:
 // Другой язык

 $outputResponse = $translation->getResponse();
 //output:
 /*
 Array
 (
     [code] => 200
     [to] => ru
     [from] => en
     [text] => Array
         (
             [0] => Другой язык
         )

 )
 */

// You can use language autodetect feature, if provider is supporting it:
$translation = $translator->to('ru')->translate('Some other language');
// output $translation->getResponse():
/*
  Array
  (
      [code] => 200
      [to] => ru
      [from] => en
      [text] => Array
          (
              [0] => Другой язык
          )
  )
  */

 // You can even use arrays for translating multiple texts
 $translation = $translator->to('ru')->translate(['Some other language', 'Some other value']);
 // $translation->getResponse():
 /*
   Array
   (
       [code] => 200
       [to] => ru
       [from] => en
       [text] => Array
           (
               [0] => Другой язык
               [1] => другое значение
           )
   )
   */
// p.s. in this case  echo $translation  will output only first array item
```

Providers use Guzzle Http client, if you have specific guzzle client configuration, you can set up with setGuzzleInstance function

```
 $translator = new Picolab\Translator\Translator();

 $translator->setGuzzleInstance($yourGuzzleClientInstance);
 ...

```
