My Java Logs: AWS JS SDK

Sunday, April 17, 2022

In this post, I will discuss how to use AWS Javascript SDK V3 for AWS Translate.

Prerequisite: Node.js should be pre-installed

Steps:

Create a folder e.g. AWSTranslateApp
From command prompt navigate to folder "AWSTranslateApp"
Type npm init
This will create Node project
Install AWS JS SDK by typing "npm install @aws-sdk/client-translate" under folder "AWSTranslateApp"
Now open the "AWSTranslateApp" folder in VS Code
Create a file translateExample.js

Below is the code snippet for translateExample.js

const { TranslateClient, TranslateTextCommand } = require("@aws-sdk/client-translate");

async function getTranslatedData(){

const client = new TranslateClient({ region: "<region_name>",

credentials: {

accessKeyId: '<access_key>',

secretAccessKey: '<secret_key>'

}

});

const params = {

SourceLanguageCode: "en",

TargetLanguageCode: "es",

Text: "Hello, world"

};

const command = new TranslateTextCommand(params);

const data = await client.send(command);

const jsonData =await data.TranslatedText;

console.log(jsonData);

}

getTranslatedData();

Replace the region, access key, secret key with the actual values. In my case the region was 'us-east-1'.
Once done, you can now run the program using below command from command prompt

node translateExample
