Is proxying supported in react native?

this "https-proxy-agent" is not support with react native. Could you give any suggestions?

Anyone have more info on this?

Getting Weird Translation

Hi im not getting the same result when i translate in google translate and using google-translate-api.
What might be the issue?

How to translate image

Obtain translation synonyms

Is there to obtain the synonyms of a word translation. For example, let's say the preposition mit in German, which can be in multiple ways in English. Is there to obtain all of those possible translations?
Thanks!

TypeScript Error

TS2339: Property 'text' does not exist on type 'ITranslateResponse | ITranslateResponse[] | { [x: string]: ITranslateResponse; }'.   Property 'text' does not exist on type 'ITranslateResponse[]'.

I use React and TypeScript.

const translator = new Translator({from: 'en', to: 'es', forceBatch: false, tld: 'es'}); const res = await translator.translate('Ik spreek Engels', {to: user_data!.lang}); console.log(res.text)

fetch is not defined after deployment

@AidanWelch This package works fine when I start my server in terminal, but as soon as I deploy to Render it says ERROR ReferenceError: fetch is not defined at Object.requestFunction (/opt/render/project/src/node_modules/google-translate-api-x/lib/defaults.cjs:9:36), seems it isn't truly cross-platform or is there something I could do different to get it to work in a pure Node environment?

All the help will be appreciated and the batching feature is truly an improvement on the vitalets package. Thank you! ✨

Can't run on React.js

The error:
TypeError: google_translate_api_x__WEBPACK_IMPORTED_MODULE_1__ is not a function

I've tried using this library on vanilla js and it works just fine. But when I tried it on React it keeps getting error like in the above even I use the simpliest method to use this library. Is there any settings that I have to apply first in my React project before using this library?
Sorry for my english and I'm new to React and JavaScript, so it will be so kind of you if you can give me an assistance.

Btw, thanks for providing this library

how can I change text direction from ltr to rtl ?

TypeError: (0 , _googleTranslateApiX.translate) is not a function

The codes ran fine that last time I tested, about a month or so ago. And then, in my regression test today, it starts giving the above error.

Does anyone have any idea?

Caught an error from batch translate

Hi @AidanWelch

I caught a new error from the below codes.

trInput is an array for batch translation.

It doesn't happen all the time, maybe 1 out of 4 or 5 times. Even when all the variable values are exactly the same for all the 4 or 5 times.

    const translation = await translate(trInput, {from: userLanguage, to: addHelperLanguage && helperLanguage, autoCorrect: true})
                                .catch((error) => {
                                    console.error('translate| translate-google-api-x error: ', error.message)
                                    throw error
                                });

AxiosError: Request failed with status code 429

Issue 12 wasn't finished being addressed before it was closed. My app wouldn't hit the rate limit as it sends fewer than 20 requests per day.

Error code 429 is a "too many requests" error. I would assume that your API has a Google Translate API key tied to it? My immediate thought is there are too many users on this "free api" causing the interface to hit the rate limit.

Autocorrect not properly applied to translations from certain networks

Certain networks require the X-Goog-BatchExecute-Bgr header to be sent on requests, or the autocorrect will not be applied to some translations(seemingly typos where a letter is dropped, such as "I spea Dutch!" instead of "I speak Dutch!").

The code for generating this header I believe is found in this static script.

I believe in xH.prototype.s()

This would likely take a while to fix.

AxiosError: Request failed with status code 429

We were doing fine until this morning. It seems that we have now reached a rate limit on the API key.

CORS policy

I'm using ReactJs.
When I use the request example. I'm getting CORS error.

import translate from 'google-translate-api-x';

const res = await translate('Ik spreek Engels', { to: 'en' });

console.log(res.text); //=> I speak English
console.log(res.from.language.iso);  //=> nl

That code return

Access to fetch at 'https://translate.google.com/' from origin 'http://localhost:5173' has been blocked by CORS policy: No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource. If an opaque response serves your needs, set the request's mode to 'no-cors' to fetch the resource with CORS disabled.

Is that an API error or I need to use some param on the request translate()?

• with node that error doesn't occur.

Batch translation error

Error Info

Partial Translation Request Fail: at least one translation failed, it was either invalid or more likely- rejected by the server. You can try the request again and if it persists try a proxy, spacing out requests, and/or using a different tld. If you would like to translate other requests in a batch translation even if one fails(the failed translation will be set to null) pass the option rejectOnPartialFail: false. You can also try using the singleTranslate endpoint with: forceBatch: false

Thanks to the author for providing this tool library, hope this problem can be fixed

change speak speed

is there any way to change the speak (tts) speed? its talking a bit slow

CORS policy error

i installed your package and tried the description but unfortunately i get errors about CORS error, and i don't know how to solve it

Support of batch translate

I want to pass an array of string for translation. Could you help support it?

AxiosError: unable to verify the first certificate

Unify Axios/Fetch port? (Discussion)

Is there interest in the Fetch and Axios versions being combined, with auto and manual detection?

Tests fail only because rate limited on single translate

Use proxy or pretest for access first (or if there's another solution

Should prefer masculine over feminine translations default, allow setting preferance in opts

Most languages default to masculine, so it shouldn't return feminine just because that is what Google Translate lists first, because in the Google Translate UI that is properly represented

Real-time translation

Can this package translate in real-time, like users don't need to press the translate button to translate, but just need to type and wait for it to auto translate?

ERROR [TypeError: Cannot convert null value to object]

Hello, I am getting the error in the title while translating text. I suspected it because I was using texts dynamically. Then I tried to translate the texts statically but this error returns 1 time out of 5 translations (same text).

Big translation slowed down

Hi @AidanWelch, thanks for an amazing package!
One thing I noticed in the past day or two is that a big translation (like full song lyrics) considerably slowed down. It used to be almost instant, but now it's taking up to 15 seconds.
When I try vitalets package, it is still almost instant. Do you know of any reason this might be happening?

I'm using a Next.js project, still on Next 12 using an API route (server side). Is there any way to test the speed of the actual package? Thanks!

It throws error "fetch is not defined"

My demo is simple , just like this.

(async() => {
    const translate = require('google-translate-api-x');
    const res = await translate('Ik spreek Engels', {to: 'zh'});
    console.log(res.text);
})()

When run the code, it throws the error

Improve `speak` testing

Issue with the speak functionality

New to development,
I am getting this error
/node_modules/google-translate-api-x/lib/speak.cjs:66 const result = JSON.parse(translation[2])[0]; ^ TypeError: Cannot read properties of null (reading '0')

I figured it out , the issue appears when the text under single translate using "speak" function exceeds 195 characters.
I need help how to convert long texts to mp3.

There are other packages that are able to convert it, but I really wanted to make this package more efficient by adding inputs.

Thanks
