Translating using source and target

Examples: Using source and target language for translation

You can use the FindBrok\WatsonTranslate\Contracts\TranslatorInterface to perform translations, this interface is resolved by the IOC and you can inject it in your controller methods.

Translating a sentence or single input.

<?php 

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

...
use FindBrok\WatsonTranslate\Contracts\TranslatorInterface as WatsonTranslator;

class IndexController extends Controller {

    /**
     * Translate demo
     *
     * @param WatsonTranslator $translator
     */
    public function index(WatsonTranslator $translator)
    {
        //Text to translate
        $text = 'Daniel\'s parents love the beach. Daniel and his sister and brother love the beach. The family\'s dog loves the beach very much.';
        //Translate to french
        $results = $translator->from('en')->to('fr')->textTranslate($text);
        ....
    }

}

Translating multiple sentences, can be used as a way to translate paragraphs as well.

<?php 

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

...
use FindBrok\WatsonTranslate\Contracts\TranslatorInterface as WatsonTranslator;

class IndexController extends Controller {

    /**
     * Translate demo
     *
     * @param WatsonTranslator $translator
     */
    public function index(WatsonTranslator $translator)
    {
        //Array of sentences to translate
        $text = [
            'Every Saturday, Daniel and his family go to the beach. They live far from the beach, but once a week the family gets into the car and Daniel\'s father drives for hours until they arrive.',
            'Daniel\'s parents love the beach. Daniel and his sister and brother love the beach. The family\'s dog loves the beach very much.',
        ];
        //Translate to french
        $results = $translator->from('en')->to('fr')->bulkTranslate($text);
        ....
    }

}

Alternatively you can use the WatsonTranslate Facade for achieving the same results

<?php 

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

...
use WatsonTranslate;

class IndexController extends Controller {

    /**
     * Translate demo
     */
    public function index()
    {
        //Array of sentences to translate
        $text = [
            'Every Saturday, Daniel and his family go to the beach. They live far from the beach, but once a week the family gets into the car and Daniel\'s father drives for hours until they arrive.',
            'Daniel\'s parents love the beach. Daniel and his sister and brother love the beach. The family\'s dog loves the beach very much.',
        ];
        //Translate to french
        $results = WatsonTranslate::from('en')->to('fr')->bulkTranslate($text);
        ....
    }

}
