I would like to translate the fields of a posite JSON object using Google Cloud Platform, instead of translating every single sentence on its own. Is it possible?

Example (from English to Italian):

Origin JSON file:

{job_description: {
    name: "Taxi driver",
    description: "like the movie"
    }
}

Output JSON file:

{job_description: {
    name: "Tassista",
    description: "Come nel film"
    }
}

• javascript
• php
• json
• google-cloud-platform

• 1 You could look into github./fkirc/attranslate. "attranslate" is a simple tool for translating JSON-files, and it also supports Google Cloud. – Mike76 Commented Apr 9, 2022 at 10:28

Here is a script I wrote to achieve this. Hope this helps someone. https://github./EisenVault/json-google-translate

Translation API accepts only plain-text or HTML as a format [1].

To achieve your goal, load your JSON file as an object in your code, send the fields to the Translation API, edit the object with the translation result and then generate a JSON file from your new object.
