Provides a Java wrapper around the Microsoft Translator API aka Bing Translator.
Created in an attempt to fill the void left by the deprecation of the Google Translate API announced on May 26, 2011 and scheduled for permanent shutdown on December 1, 2011.
In an effort to lessen the impact on Java developers that have previously integrated the Google Translate API into their applications, it is my goal to mimic the code structure, naming conventions, functionality, and usage patterns of the excellent and widely used google-api-translate-java by Rich Midwinter.
- Java 1.5 or greater
- A Windows Azure Marketplace Client ID and Client Secret - Documentation
Please note: If you signed up for a Bing Developer Key after March 31, 2012, you will not be able to use your App Id with this API. Please visit the aforementioned documentation link

import com.memetix.mst.language.Language;
import com.memetix.mst.translate.Translate;
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
// Set your Windows Azure Marketplace client info - See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh454950.aspx
Translate.setClientId(/* Enter your Windows Azure Client Id here */);
Translate.setClientSecret(/* Enter your Windows Azure Client Secret here */);
String translatedText = Translate.execute("Bonjour le monde", Language.FRENCH, Language.ENGLISH);
System.out.println(translatedText);
}
}
I've posted some examples to the SVN repository on Google Code. The examples include:
- Translating text between two languages
- Detecting the native language of given text
- Getting a list of supported languages, with localized language names
- Generating and playing a WAV of given text spoken in a chosen dialect
- Bulk translation using the TranslateArray service
For those using Maven 2 to manage their project dependencies, the microsoft-translator-java-api is distributed via the Maven Central repository. Simply include the following in your POM.xml to use the Microsoft Translator Java API:
<dependency>
<groupId>com.memetix</groupId>
<artifactId>microsoft-translator-java-api</artifactId>
<version>0.6.2</version>
<type>jar</type>
</dependency>
Or, if you're feeling adventurous, help us test the next version by adding the latest SNAPSHOT to your POM.xml:
<dependency>
<groupId>com.memetix</groupId>
<artifactId>microsoft-translator-java-api</artifactId>
<version>0.7-SNAPSHOT</version>
<type>jar</type>
</dependency>
The SNAPSHOT is hosted at the Sonatype OSS Snapshot repository, so if you do not already have it in your repository list, you will need to add this also
<repository>
<id>sonatype-oss-repo</id>
<name>Sonatype Open Source maven snapshot repo</name>
<url>https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots/</url>
</repository>
