Polyglot
Swift wrapper around the Microsoft Translator API. By default, it translates to English from whatever language is detected.
Installation
The easiest way to get started is to use CocoaPods. Just add the following line to your Podfile:
pod 'Polyglot', '~> 0.5'Otherwise, just include the contents of the Polyglot directory manually to your project.
Basic Usage
Create a new Polyglot instance.
let translator = Polyglot(clientId: "YOUR_CLIENT_ID", clientSecret: "YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET")You can optionally specify to & from language codes.
translator.fromLanguage = Language.Dutch // It will automatically detect the language if you don't set this.
translator.toLanguage = Language.English // English. This is the default.Start translating.
let dutch = "Ik weet het niet."
translator.translate(dutch) { translation in
print("\"\(dutch)\" means \"\(translation)\"")
