Var formattedDate = dateNow.getDate() + "/" + (dateNow.getMonth() + 1) Var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.openById(ssId).getSheetByName( "") UrlFetchApp.fetch( '' + token + '/', data) In addition to fetching the input from the users, I also wanted to store the searched word inside a Google Sheets spreadsheet. The translation capability is invoked with anslate(text, sourceLanguage, targetLanguage). Google Apps Script can be used to manipulate the Google Translate capability by calling the Language.App class. So I found a class that I could use in Apps Script to realize that. Although there are undoubtedly tons of mobile apps out there which do the same thing, I wanted to learn about it by using Telegram. One way to use the Telegram Bot and Google Cloud Services which came to mind was to create a translation bot. After receiving Telegram’s API key we can use it inside our Google Apps Script editor. The initial process of creating a Telegram bot is outlined on Telegram’s website. In this post I will share a bit on how to adapt Mars’s code and use Telegram Bot to get the input from the user and let Google Apps Script call Google’s cloud-based services (translation and finance) to later return the outputs to the user. The Telegram Bot I created from Mars’s code looks like this: Coincidentally, last year I learned a bit about how to use Google Apps Script with Telegram Bot as a personal ledger tool, as outlined in this post by Mars Escobin. It would be quite dangerous to depend on bots and their associated language services for key legal and medical documents as accuracy can’t be assured.In a previous post on this blog, Afif wrote about how to use Google Apps Script with Google Forms. For the moment they provide a quick solution to a simple translation while harder more important translations that require super accuracy still remain the domain of human translators. No one yet knows if translation bots and their associated machine translation services are ever going to become the norm when even a sophisticated translation is required. There are some translation services that offer the services of a bot, but when the text is detected as being too complex the user is directed to pay for the services of a human translator if they are after an accurate translation. This can be quite helpful when only simple translations are required. They have managed to do a reasonable translation of quite simple words and expressions. No machine translator has yet been able to completely master the cultural inferences in a language or idiomatic expressions that rarely make sense with a word-for-word translation. There is still no evidence suggesting that a bot and its machine translation service relationship produces a better translation than a human translator. Do Translation Bots do a Better Job than Human Translators? They pick up the information required and direct it to a machine translation service, such as Google Translate, Skype Translator, Babelfish, or Facebook Translator. Their role is to just connect a user directly to a translation service using an AI-powered voice-based or text interface. Ru Bots can be found at and are commonly used to translate Skype messages.īots aren’t translation platforms or services in themselves but act as an interactive interface for any translation service.Discord Translator is a bot created in order to facilitate communication among the gaming community and it supports at least 100 languages on the Discord chat board.Google Translate is bots that use Google’s translate service.Instant Translator is both a Viber and Facebook bot and is able to translate up to ten languages.
Facebook Page and Messenger Translator.The following are the key examples of translation bots: They tend to understand what you want without you having to repeat it. The bot is quite human and when you start a conversation such as what’s the word for hello in Spanish, you will get an immediate response. Because a translation bot uses artificial intelligence it’s like communicating with a real person. When you go online to seek a machine translation service the bot will communicate via a chat window and you can send either a text or chat message. Translation bots are linked to a translation system on the web.
