language-translator

This app will help you to translate any language supported by Google translation API from one to another. The best thing about this app is you don't need any subscription(:wink:), you just need Google account to host the script provided below:point_down:.

function doGet(e) {
 var sourceText = '';
 if (e.parameter.q) {
   sourceText = e.parameter.q;
 }

 var sourceLang = 'auto';
 if (e.parameter.source) {
   sourceLang = e.parameter.source;
 }

 var targetLang = 'ja';
 if (e.parameter.target) {
   targetLang = e.parameter.target;
 }

 var translatedText = LanguageApp.translate(sourceText, sourceLang, targetLang);

 var json = {
   translatedText: translatedText,
 };

 // set JSONP callback
 var callback = 'callback';
 if (e.parameter.callback) {
   callback = e.parameter.callback;
 }

 // return JSONP
 return ContentService.createTextOutput(JSON.stringify(json)).setMimeType(
   ContentService.MimeType.JSON
 );
}
