00:00:01,670 --> 00:00:03,120
- [Instructor] Another
service that we'll use

2
00:00:03,120 --> 00:00:05,200
in our translator app that we'll take

3
00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:06,670
a look at later in this lesson

4
00:00:06,670 --> 00:00:09,620
is the Watson Language Translator Service

5
00:00:09,620 --> 00:00:11,540
which not only gives us the ability

6
00:00:11,540 --> 00:00:14,700
to translate text between
various languages.

7
00:00:14,700 --> 00:00:18,450
It also is capable of
automatically detecting text

8
00:00:18,450 --> 00:00:20,660
as being written in one of over

9
00:00:20,660 --> 00:00:22,520
60 different languages as well

10
00:00:22,520 --> 00:00:24,430
and of course, other cloud vendors

11
00:00:24,430 --> 00:00:27,170
have similar translation capabilities.

12
00:00:27,170 --> 00:00:30,710
Google I believe supports
over 100 languages for example

13
00:00:30,710 --> 00:00:33,160
in their translation capabilities,

14
00:00:33,160 --> 00:00:36,360
So not only are you able to translate

15
00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:38,730
to and from English and
many other languages,

16
00:00:38,730 --> 00:00:40,490
there's also support for translating

17
00:00:40,490 --> 00:00:42,710
between other languages directly

18
00:00:42,710 --> 00:00:44,950
and you could always potentially go from

19
00:00:44,950 --> 00:00:48,090
English to another language
to a third language

20
00:00:48,090 --> 00:00:50,100
and vice versa if in fact

21
00:00:50,100 --> 00:00:52,670
there's no direct translation capability

22
00:00:52,670 --> 00:00:53,800
and that doesn't guarantee

23
00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:55,810
that you'll get the best translation.

24
00:00:55,810 --> 00:00:59,610
In fact that's kind of a fun
exercise to play around with

25
00:00:59,610 --> 00:01:02,840
to see as you go from
one language to the next

26
00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:05,540
and eventually back to the
language you started with

27
00:01:05,540 --> 00:01:06,760
to see whether or not you get

28
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:08,910
the same text that you started with.

29
00:01:08,910 --> 00:01:10,810
You might experiment with that.

30
00:01:10,810 --> 00:01:12,710
So let's just take a
quick look at this demo

31
00:01:12,710 --> 00:01:13,840
and of course we'll use

32
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:17,300
the language translator
service again later as well.

33
00:01:17,300 --> 00:01:19,250
When you go to this page,

34
00:01:19,250 --> 00:01:21,160
if you scroll down you'll see

35
00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:23,730
that you have the ability
to choose the language

36
00:01:23,730 --> 00:01:25,880
from which you're going to translate

37
00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:27,870
into which you're going to translate

38
00:01:27,870 --> 00:01:30,050
and by default it's going to

39
00:01:30,050 --> 00:01:32,010
detect the language automatically.

40
00:01:32,010 --> 00:01:34,800
So if I go and say something like

41
00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:39,800
welcome to Python Programming
exclamation point,

42
00:01:41,810 --> 00:01:45,270
it detected automatically that
the language was in English

43
00:01:45,270 --> 00:01:47,240
and based on that it shows me

44
00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:50,010
what options I'm allowed to translate to

45
00:01:50,010 --> 00:01:51,490
and if you look through here

46
00:01:52,811 --> 00:01:54,137
you'll see that there's
quite a different number

47
00:01:54,137 --> 00:01:54,970
of languages I can go to.

48
00:01:54,970 --> 00:01:57,000
So let's say we want to
translate that into Spanish

49
00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:59,160
which we'll be doing later on today

50
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:01,210
or in this lesson rather

51
00:02:01,210 --> 00:02:03,500
and you can see the Spanish translation.

52
00:02:03,500 --> 00:02:07,250
You can also look at the
JavaScript object notation response

53
00:02:07,250 --> 00:02:09,910
that was sent back to the app.

54
00:02:09,910 --> 00:02:12,320
In this case in the
context of the web browser.

55
00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:14,290
Later on when we use this service,

56
00:02:14,290 --> 00:02:17,860
we will be picking off
this translation key

57
00:02:17,860 --> 00:02:20,170
in this dictionary here so that we can get

58
00:02:20,170 --> 00:02:25,170
our translated text for use in our app.

59
00:02:25,470 --> 00:02:28,970
I would recommend just playing
around with this a little bit

60
00:02:28,970 --> 00:02:32,483
trying out different languages
to have a little bit of fun.
