Translate text using Google Translate — google

Translates input text to a specified language using the Google Translate mobile web interface. Automatically detects and preserves URLs by temporarily replacing them with placeholders. Long texts are split on word boundaries and translated in chunks, then reassembled.

Usage

google_translate(text, target_language = "en", source_language = "auto")

Arguments

text: This is the text that you want to translate. Can be a single string or a vector of strings.
target_language: This is the language that you want to translate the text into. The default value is "en" (English).
source_language: This is the language of the text to be translated. The default value is "auto", which attempts automatic language detection.

Value

A translated string or vector of translated strings, matching the length of the input.

# \donttest{
