Get extended info like synonym, examples,.. when translating a Word

[Diligent Apps]

Hi,

I am subscribed and planning to use the Cloud Translation APIs in my commercial App:

https://translation.googleapis.com/language/translate/v2

Currently with the translate/v2 endpoint, I just receive the translation only. 

I was wondering how I can get the results like definition, synonym, examples,... which are now delivered by google.translate.com service when I search for a Word?

Any thoughts is appreciated.

Thank you

Samira.

Hi Gurkomal,

Thank you for the reply. I checked the other thread and the request ages back to 5 years ago. Is the team still investigating? Can you please clarify this if this is in the plan or not? This should Not be really a complex task.

This is a simple feature, which many will subscribe to utilize it in their commercial Apps, which of course Google benefits as well. I am wondering why Google does not put priority to this. For me, if the feature is not available, I would proceed with Oxford dictionary subscription.

I appreciate your considerations. Kindly let me know.

Thank you.
