Google Translate

Google Translate

The robomotion googletranslate CLI connects to Google Cloud Translation API for text translation between 100+ languages with automatic language detection.

When to use

• Translate text from one language to another
• Auto-detect source language
• Batch translate multiple texts

Prerequisites

• robomotion CLI installed
• Package installed: robomotion install googletranslate
• Google Cloud Translation API credentials configured via Robomotion vault

IMPORTANT: Session Mode Required for Multi-Step Operations

Each CLI command runs as a separate process — connection IDs from connect do NOT persist across calls. You MUST use --session on connect and pass --session-id to all subsequent commands.

Workflow

1. Install (once): robomotion install googletranslate
2. Connect with session:

   robomotion googletranslate connect --session --output json
   # → {"outClientId":"<client-id>","session_id":"<session-id>"}
   

3. Use the returned client-id and session-id in all subsequent commands:

   robomotion googletranslate translate --client-id "<client-id>" --text <text> --target-language <lang> --session-id "<session-id>" --output json
   

4. Disconnect when done:

   robomotion googletranslate disconnect --client-id "<client-id>" --session-id "<session-id>" --output json
   

Always append --output json to get structured JSON results.
