Client

class Translate.Client

A low-level client representing Amazon Translate:

import boto3

client = boto3.client('translate')

These are the available methods:

• can_paginate()
• generate_presigned_url()
• get_paginator()
• get_waiter()
• translate_text()

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.

generate_presigned_url(ClientMethod, Params=None, ExpiresIn=3600, HttpMethod=None)

Generate a presigned url given a client, its method, and arguments

Parameters

• ClientMethod (string) -- The client method to presign for
• Params (dict) -- The parameters normally passed to ClientMethod.
• ExpiresIn (int) -- The number of seconds the presigned url is valid for. By default it expires in an hour (3600 seconds)
• HttpMethod (string) -- The http method to use on the generated url. By default, the http method is whatever is used in the method's model.

Returns

The presigned url

get_paginator(operation_name)

Create a paginator for an operation.

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").

Raises OperationNotPageableError

Raised if the operation is not pageable. You can use the client.can_paginate method to check if an operation is pageable.

Return type

L{botocore.paginate.Paginator}

Returns

A paginator object.

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
