Polyglot

Swift wrapper around Microsoft Translate API. By default, it translates to English from whatever language is detected.

Basic Usage

Create a new Polyglot instance.

let translator = Polyglot(clientId: "YOUR_CLIENT_ID", clientSecret: "YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET")

You can optionally specify to & from language codes.

translator.fromLanguage = Language.Dutch // It will automatically detect the language if you don't set this.
translator.toLanguage = Language.English // English. This is the default.

Start translating.

let dutch = "Ik weet het niet."
translator.translate(dutch) { translation in
    println("\"\(dutch)\" means \"\(translation)\"")
}

Check out the sample project for a quick demo.

Setting up an account for Microsoft Translate

1. Subscribe to the Microsoft Translate service here. You’ll probably need to set up a new account first. Good luck.
2. Create a new application here. This is where you will be given a client ID and client secret (which you will need for using Polyglot).

Dependencies

Because Microsoft’s Translate API returns XML, Polyglot depends on Ono. You should add it to your project however you like (CocoaPods is recommended), and add it to your target’s bridging header. When CocoaPods fully supports Swift, this process will become a lot simpler.
