azure-web-translate

Translate HTML with Azure Translator API

This package allows you to translate HTML content from a given URL using the Azure Translator API. It scrapes text from the webpage, translates it using the Azure Translator API, and returns the translated HTML content.

Features

• Translates the text content of an HTML webpage.
• Skips non-translatable elements like <script>, <iframe>, <noscript>, <style>, <svg>, and <video>.
• Leverages the Azure Translator API for high-quality translations.
• Stores translations in a JSON file for easy access and reuse.

Installation

To use this package in your project, install it via npm:

npm i azure-web-translate

Usage

Basic Example

Below is an example of how to use the translateHTML function to translate a webpage to French:

const translateWebpage  = require('azure-web-translate');

const url = 'https://example.com';
const targetLanguage = 'ru';

const AZURE_TRANSLATOR_KEY = process.env.AZURE_TRANSLATOR_KEY;
const AZURE_TRANSLATOR_ENDPOINT = process.env.AZURE_TRANSLATOR_ENDPOINT;
const AZURE_LOCATION = process.env.AZURE_LOCATION;

translateWebpage(url, targetLanguage, AZURE_TRANSLATOR_KEY, AZURE_TRANSLATOR_ENDPOINT, AZURE_LOCATION)
  .then(translatedHtml => {
    const fs = require('fs');
    fs.writeFileSync('translated.html', translatedHtml);
  })
  .catch(error => {
    console.error('Error:', error);
  });

translateHTML(url, targetLanguage, azureKey, azureRegion, options)

Translates the HTML content of a given URL.

• url (string): The URL of the webpage to translate.
• targetLanguage (string): The target language code (e.g., 'fr' for French).
• azureKey (string): Your Azure Translator API key.
• azureRegion (string): Your Azure region.

Returns a Promise that resolves with the translated HTML content.

Limitations

• The Azure Translator API has rate limits and character quotas. Ensure your Azure account has sufficient quota for your translation needs.
• Very large webpages may require multiple API calls and take longer to translate.
• Some complex HTML structures or dynamically loaded content may not translate perfectly.
