AWS

AWS functions access the AWS SDK.

They need an account with a valid AWS-IAM API User key ID and secret. In addition for most cases a region has to be provided in the account too.

aws_translate

Translates a text from one language to another using AWS Translate.

Returns { TranslatedText, SourceLanguageCode, TargetLanguageCode }.

Be aware that this function is limited by the limits of the AWS API. At the current time this was about 5000 Bytes per translation call.

aws_translate(source_language, target_language, translation_text, [terminology_list], aws_account);

Example 1:

let res = aws_translate("de", "en", "Willkommen in Cuxhaven", "aws");
log("RESULT ", res);

Result:

{
  "TranslatedText": "Welcome to Cuxhaven",
  "SourceLanguageCode": "de",
  "TargetLanguageCode": "en"
}

Example 2: auto translation

use 'auto' as source language will calculate it - this results in higher aws costs

let res = aws_translate("auto", "en", "Willkommen in Cuxhaven", "aws");
log("RESULT ", res);

Result:

{
  "TranslatedText": "Welcome to Cuxhaven",
  "SourceLanguageCode": "de",
  "TargetLanguageCode": "en"
}

Example 3: using terminology lists 1

Terminology lists stored at AWS can be addressed as 4th parameter before the account. See terminology list named "IT" in the following example

let res = aws_translate("auto", "en", "Willkommen in Cuxhaven", "IT", "aws");
log("RESULT ", res);

Result:

{
  "TranslatedText": "Welcome to Cuxhaven",
  "SourceLanguageCode": "de",
  "TargetLanguageCode": "en"
}

Example 4: using terminology lists 2

Terminology lists stored at AWS can be addressed as 4th parameter before the account. Using multiple terminology lists can be done by separate the names by ','

let res = aws_translate("auto", "en", "Willkommen in Cuxhaven", "IT,HR,Manufacturing", "aws");
log("RESULT ", res);

Result:

{
  "TranslatedText": "Welcome to Cuxhaven",
  "SourceLanguageCode": "de",
  "TargetLanguageCode": "en"
}
