Introduction
We will create a simple English to Japanese translator using Google Apps Script.
The application will have a front-end input form and a back-end server that will process the translation results.
Application
We need to create a front-end form that will allow users to enter the English text they want to translate.
When you enter English that you want to translate to Japanese and click the button, the English is passed to the server side, and the translated Japanese is returned to the front end using LanguageApp.translate.
Source Code
Code.gs
function doGet() {
return HtmlService.createHtmlOutputFromFile('index').setTitle("Title");
}
function returnJapanese(value) {
return LanguageApp.translate(value, "en", "ja");
}
index.html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<textarea id="text"></textarea>
<button id="submit">Translate to Japanese</button>
<script>
document.getElementById("submit").onclick = runTranslate;
function runTranslate() {
var value = document.getElementById("text").value;
google.script.run
.withFailureHandler(onFailure)
.withSuccessHandler(onSuccess)
.returnJapanese(value);
}
function onSuccess(result) {
alert(result);
}
function onFailure(e) {
alert([e.message, e.stack]);
}
</script>
</body>
</html>
Tips
LanguageApp.translate(text, sourceLanguage, targetLanguage)
If source language is empty, it will be auto-detected.
