Client

class Translate.Client

A low-level client representing Amazon Translate

Provides translation between one source language and another of the same set of languages.

import boto3

client = boto3.client('translate')

These are the available methods:

can_paginate(operation_name)

Check if an operation can be paginated.

Parameters
operation_name (string) -- The operation name. This is the same name as the method name on the client. For example, if the method name is create_foo, and you'd normally invoke the operation as client.create_foo(**kwargs), if the create_foo operation can be paginated, you can use the call client.get_paginator("create_foo").
Returns
True if the operation can be paginated, False otherwise.
close()

Closes underlying endpoint connections.

create_parallel_data(**kwargs)

Creates a parallel data resource in Amazon Translate by importing an input file from Amazon S3. Parallel data files contain examples that show how you want segments of text to be translated. By adding parallel data, you can influence the style, tone, and word choice in your translation output.

          The URI of the AWS S3 folder that contains the input files. Amazon Translate translates all the files in the folder. The folder must be in the same Region as the API endpoint you are calling.

          Note

          The URI can also point to a single input document, or it can provide the prefix for a collection of input documents. For example. if you use the URI S3://bucketName/prefix and the prefix is a single file, Amazon Translate uses that files as input. If more than one file begins with the prefix, Amazon Translate uses all of them as input.

        • ContentType (string) --

          Describes the format of the data that you submit to Amazon Translate as input. You can specify one of the following multipurpose internet mail extension (MIME) types:

          • text/html : The input data consists of one or more HTML files. Amazon Translate translates only the text that resides in the html element in each file.
          • text/plain : The input data consists of one or more unformatted text files. Amazon Translate translates every character in this type of input.
          • application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document : The input data consists of one or more Word documents (.docx).
          • application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.presentationml.presentation : The input data consists of one or more PowerPoint Presentation files (.pptx).
          • application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet : The input data consists of one or more Excel Workbook files (.xlsx).
          • application/x-xliff+xml : The input data consists of one or more XML Localization Interchange File Format (XLIFF) files (.xlf). Amazon Translate supports only XLIFF version 1.2.

          Warning

          If you structure your input data as HTML, ensure that you set this parameter to text/html . By doing so, you cut costs by limiting the translation to the contents of the html element in each file. Otherwise, if you set this parameter to text/plain , your costs will cover the translation of every character.

      • OutputDataConfig (dict) --

        The output configuration properties that were specified when the job was requested.

        • S3Uri (string) --

          The URI of the S3 folder that contains a translation job's output file. The folder must be in the same Region as the API endpoint that you are calling.

        • EncryptionKey (dict) --

          The encryption key used to encrypt this object.

            The type of encryption key used by Amazon Translate to encrypt this object.

          • Id (string) --

            The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the encryption key being used to encrypt this object.

      • DataAccessRoleArn (string) --

        The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of an AWS Identity Access and Management (IAM) role that granted Amazon Translate read access to the job's input data.

      • Settings (dict) --

        Settings that configure the translation output.

        • Formality (string) --

          You can optionally specify the desired level of formality for real-time translations to supported target languages. The formality setting controls the level of formal language usage (also known as register ) in the translation output. You can set the value to informal or formal. If you don't specify a value for formality, or if the target language doesn't support formality, the translation will ignore the formality setting.

          Note that asynchronous translation jobs don't support formality. If you provide a value for formality, the StartTextTranslationJob API throws an exception (InvalidRequestException).

          For target languages that support formality, see Supported Languages and Language Codes in the Amazon Translate Developer Guide .

        • Profanity (string) --

          Enable the profanity setting if you want Amazon Translate to mask profane words and phrases in your translation output.

          To mask profane words and phrases, Amazon Translate replaces them with the grawlix string “?$#@$“. This 5-character sequence is used for each profane word or phrase, regardless of the length or number of words.

          Amazon Translate doesn't detect profanity in all of its supported languages. For languages that support profanity detection, see Supported Languages and Language Codes in the Amazon Translate Developer Guide .

get_waiter(waiter_name)

Returns an object that can wait for some condition.

Parameters
waiter_name (str) -- The name of the waiter to get. See the waiters section of the service docs for a list of available waiters.
Returns
The specified waiter object.
Return type
botocore.waiter.Waiter
import_terminology(**kwargs)

Creates or updates a custom terminology, depending on whether one already exists for the given terminology name. Importing a terminology with the same name as an existing one will merge the terminologies based on the chosen merge strategy. The only supported merge strategy is OVERWRITE, where the imported terminology overwrites the existing terminology of the same name.

If you import a terminology that overwrites an existing one, the new terminology takes up to 10 minutes to fully propagate. After that, translations have access to the new terminology.

See also: AWS API Documentation

Request Syntax

response = client.import_terminology(
    Name='string',
    MergeStrategy='OVERWRITE',
    Description='string',
    TerminologyData={
        'File': b'bytes',
        'Format': 'CSV'|'TMX'|'TSV',
        'Directionality': 'UNI'|'MULTI'
    },
    EncryptionKey={
        'Type': 'KMS',
        'Id': 'string'
    }
)
Parameters
  • Name (string) --

    [REQUIRED]

    The name of the custom terminology being imported.

  • MergeStrategy (string) --

    [REQUIRED]

    The merge strategy of the custom terminology being imported. Currently, only the OVERWRITE merge strategy is supported. In this case, the imported terminology will overwrite an existing terminology of the same name.

  • Description (string) -- The description of the custom terminology being imported.
  • TerminologyData (dict) --

    [REQUIRED]

    The terminology data for the custom terminology being imported.

    • File (bytes) -- [REQUIRED]

      The file containing the custom terminology data. Your version of the AWS SDK performs a Base64-encoding on this field before sending a request to the AWS service. Users of the SDK should not perform Base64-encoding themselves.

    • Format (string) -- [REQUIRED]

      The data format of the custom terminology.

    • Directionality (string) --

      The directionality of your terminology resource indicates whether it has one source language (uni-directional) or multiple (multi-directional).

      UNI

      The terminology resource has one source language (for example, the first column in a CSV file), and all of its other languages are target languages.

      MULTI

      Any language in the terminology resource can be the source language or a target language. A single multi-directional terminology resource can be used for jobs that translate different language pairs. For example, if the terminology contains English and Spanish terms, it can be used for jobs that translate English to Spanish and Spanish to English.

      When you create a custom terminology resource without specifying the directionality, it behaves as uni-directional terminology, although this parameter will have a null value.

  • EncryptionKey (dict) --

    The encryption key for the custom terminology being imported.

    • Type (string) -- [REQUIRED]

      The type of encryption key used by Amazon Translate to encrypt this object.

    • Id (string) -- [REQUIRED]

      The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the encryption key being used to encrypt this object.

            Note

            The URI can also point to a single input document, or it can provide the prefix for a collection of input documents. For example. if you use the URI S3://bucketName/prefix and the prefix is a single file, Amazon Translate uses that files as input. If more than one file begins with the prefix, Amazon Translate uses all of them as input.

          • ContentType (string) --

            Describes the format of the data that you submit to Amazon Translate as input. You can specify one of the following multipurpose internet mail extension (MIME) types:

            • text/html : The input data consists of one or more HTML files. Amazon Translate translates only the text that resides in the html element in each file.
            • text/plain : The input data consists of one or more unformatted text files. Amazon Translate translates every character in this type of input.
            • application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document : The input data consists of one or more Word documents (.docx).
            • application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.presentationml.presentation : The input data consists of one or more PowerPoint Presentation files (.pptx).

            Warning

            If you structure your input data as HTML, ensure that you set this parameter to text/html . By doing so, you cut costs by limiting the translation to the contents of the html element in each file. Otherwise, if you set this parameter to text/plain , your costs will cover the translation of every character.

        • OutputDataConfig (dict) --

          The output configuration properties that were specified when the job was requested.

          • S3Uri (string) --

          • Formality (string) --

            You can optionally specify the desired level of formality for real-time translations to supported target languages. The formality setting controls the level of formal language usage (also known as register ) in the translation output. You can set the value to informal or formal. If you don't specify a value for formality, or if the target language doesn't support formality, the translation will ignore the formality setting.

            Note that asynchronous translation jobs don't support formality. If you provide a value for formality, the StartTextTranslationJob API throws an exception (InvalidRequestException).

            For target languages that support formality, see Supported Languages and Language Codes in the Amazon Translate Developer Guide .

          • Profanity (string) --

            Enable the profanity setting if you want Amazon Translate to mask profane words and phrases in your translation output.

            To mask profane words and phrases, Amazon Translate replaces them with the grawlix string “?$#@$“. This 5-character sequence is used for each profane word or phrase, regardless of the length or number of words.

            Amazon Translate doesn't detect profanity in all of its supported languages. For languages that support profanity detection, see Supported Languages and Language Codes in the Amazon Translate Developer Guide .

Batch translation jobs can be described with the DescribeTextTranslationJob operation, listed with the ListTextTranslationJobs operation, and stopped with the StopTextTranslationJob operation.

Note

Amazon Translate does not support batch translation of multiple source languages at once.
