Functions

Translate .translate(<word>)

The translate function translates a verb from either Spanish to English, or English to Spanish.

The function takes in one parameter, the word. This parameter can either be a string or an object with the key of word. It returns a promise which if resolved, returns an array with the translations, or if rejected returns an error.

Example:

dict.translate('ser')
  .then(console.log)
  .catch(console.log);
 
//Outputs: [ 'to be' ]  

Conjugate .conjugate(<options>)

The conjugate function conjugates a Spanish verb, even if the verb is already conjugated.

The function takes in one object, options. Here are the potential keys that can be used:

• word: A string which is the verb to be conjugated.
• tense: A string which is the tense to be conjugated to. See further down for details.
• person: A string which is the person to be conjugated to. See further down for details.
• translateOnError: Optional A boolean which, if true, translates the word instead of conjugating it if the word is not a Spanish verb.

Example:

var options = {
  word: 'hacer',
  tense: 'preteritIndicative',
  person: '4',
  translateOnError: true
};
 
dict.conjugate(options)
  .then(console.log)
  .catch(console.log);
 
//Outputs: [ 'hicisteis' ]
