Array order of translation result

[tipotto 404]

Hi.

I'm thinking about using Cloud Translate API v2 with Node.js, and I have a question about translation result.

I'd like to translate multiple texts into a specific language in a request.

In that case, I think source texts need to be passed as an array to Translate.translate function.

Is it possible to receive array of translation result in the same order as before translation was executed?

Or does the order change randomly each time after translation?

I'd like to identify and get each translated text.

Thank you.

In V2, we do not know how to translate several texts, only V3 allows it or by making several requests

Hi,

It is correct, to translate multiple texts, you need the Advanced Translation (V3) using a TSV file (Rest resources if needed).

And the order is irrelevant because each text request will have its own ID whether you specify it in the first column or if you don't (when you don't, the row number (0-based) from the input file is used as the ID in the output file).

Thank you for your reply.

Okay.

I thought you could translate multiple texts according to this official document.

Check it out just in case, and tell me what you think about it.

However, there could be no way of identifying each translated text, as you only get result of array...

My apologies, you are right. I am so used of the V3 that I went a bit to fast here.

You can indeed translate multiple sentences with the V2 and the API does send you back the translated sentences in the same order. I just tested the sample in the documentation you shared, with a simple curl.

Thank you for your reply.

That's good to know. I'm going to use the API v2 then.

I appreciate your help.
