I wrote a PowerShell module, called LangTranslate, that accesses the Microsoft Translator API (v2) and translates text as well as detecting the source language. Before you use it, you need to set two global variables with the client ID and client secret that you obtain from the Windows Azure Marketplace (this link should take you there). You can translate up to two million characters per month for free at the time of writing (March 2013). This module was written for version 2 of the API.

When the token expires you get an error message that I built in a check for, which causes the module to retrieve a new token before repeating the translating/language-detecting action that failed.

This hasn't been tested extensively and must be considered beta.

You can also check out the source code if you're just looking for a MS Translator API example with PowerShell and/or want to roll your own.

NB! Microsoft has announced the following: "Beginning January 1, 2017, subscribers to the Microsoft Translator Text and Speech APIs will have limited access in Azure DataMarket. We recommend that you move to Azure now to avoid service disruption."

At least PowerShell version 3 is required.

The LangTranslate module has the following exported cmdlets/functions:
*Get-Translation (translates text)
*Get-Language (detects text language)
*Get-LanguageList (lists all supported languages and their ISO 639-1 codes)
*Get-LanguageTokenCount (returns an integer representing the number of times an attempt has been made to fetch a new token)


Download

'''NB.''' ''All the exported cmdlets/functions now have built-in help, so after you've loaded the module, you can get help with Get-Help Get-Translation - or using any of the other exported function/cmdlet names in the LangTranslate module. There are also examples in the help text.

*LangTranslate.zip - It contains the PowerShell module and manifest in a folder called "LangTranslate".

''2013-11-07: Corrected a bug in the Get-Language cmdlet where I erroneously used HtmlEncode instead of UrlEncode.''

'''Tip!''' To use a PowerShell module, check "$env:PSModulePath", create a directory called "Modules" in one of the listed paths, if necessary, and copy the unzipped folder there, then use "Import-Module LangTranslate". With PowerShell version 3 and higher, modules will auto-load when you try to use a cmdlet from one of them. You can also import it from a (relative) path, like this:

PS C:\PowerShell> Import-Module .\MyPSModules\LangTranslate

Examples

A few examples. Note that the special characters work "directly", as you see with the Japanese one in the screenshot below, in PowerShell ISE v3.


Get-Translation - Translate text with auto-detected source language

The Get-Translation cmdlet tries to auto-detect the source language unless you specify one with the -FromLanguage parameter. The -ToLanguage parameter is English ("en") by default. The language codes that are accepted are the ISO 639-1 codes. Use Get-LanguageList to list them all.
PS C:\> 'Jeg er norsk' | Get-Translation
I am Norwegian

To get more data, such as match degree and rating, use the -FullMatchObject parameter to get the entire TranslationMatch object. The returned object is of the type System.Xml.XmlElement.

PS C:\> 'Jeg er norsk' | Get-Translation -FullMatchObject

Count               : 0
MatchDegree         : 100
MatchedOriginalText : 
Rating              : 5
TranslatedText      : I am Norwegian

You can also return the full GetTranslationsResponse object by using the -FullObject parameter. This won't be useful displayed directly to the host/console/screen as it is, but it's useful for storing in a variable and then inspecting/using as you see fit. The returned object with -FullObject is of the type System.Xml.XmlDocument.

You can use Get-Language to determine the source language, but you can also retrieve it using the -FullObject parameter to Get-Translation.
PS C:\> 'father', 'mamma' | Get-Translation -FullObject |
    Select -Exp GetTranslationsResponse | Select -Exp From

en
it

PS C:\> 'father', 'mamma' | Get-Translation -FullObject |
    Select -Exp GetTranslationsResponse | Select -Exp From |
    %{ $From = $_; Get-LanguageList | %{ if ($From -eq $_.Code) { $_.Name } } }

English
Italian

PS C:\> ('mamma' | Get-Translation -FullObject | select -Exp GetTranslationsResponse).Translations.TranslationMatch.TranslatedText
MOM

There are quite a few inconsistencies in the translation data. Some translations work surprisingly well, even some special case expressions/sayings, while others fail miserably. In this case "MOM" is returned in all uppercase, for no good reason. I suspect human beings are to blame for most of these inconsistencies. Some data appears to be "trolling"/jokes/stupid.

Get-Translation - More than one result

This demonstrates the -MaxTranslations parameter. The default value is 1. Here I get three results (two with identical "TranslatedText" values).

PS C:\> 'hei' | Get-Translation -MaxTranslations 5 -FullMatchObject


Count               : 0
MatchDegree         : 100
MatchedOriginalText : 
Rating              : 5
TranslatedText      : Hi

Count               : 1
MatchDegree         : 100
MatchedOriginalText : hei
Rating              : 1
TranslatedText      : Hi

Count               : 0
MatchDegree         : 100
MatchedOriginalText : hei
Rating              : 0
TranslatedText      : Hello

I should mention that the array will be flattened, and that you will get returned the total number of objects in sequence, without the ability to distinguish them as belonging to the first or second word's set of translation objects.

PS C:\> $Trans = 'hei', 'hej' | Get-Translation -MaxTranslations 5 -FullMatchObject
PS C:\> $Trans.Count
8

To work around this, you could do something like this to get an array of arrays (notice the unary comma operator).

PS C:\> $Trans = 'hei', 'hej' |
    %{ , @(Get-Translation -MaxTranslations 5 -FullMatchObject -Text $_) }
PS C:\> $Trans.Count
2
PS C:\> $Trans[0].Count, $Trans[1].Count
3
5
PS C:\> $Trans[0] | Select -Exp TranslatedText

Get-Language - Detect source language

Here I demonstrate the output from the language detection cmdlet Get-Language.
PS C:\> 'jeg er norsk' | Get-Language | Format-List

Name       : Norwegian
Code       : no
NameLocale : en

And to display the language name in Spanish, I use Get-LanguageList with the -CustomLocale parameter:

PS C:\> Get-LanguageList -CustomLocale es | Out-Null
Populating language list...

PS C:\> 'jag är svensk' | Get-Language | fl

Name : Sueco Code : sv NameLocale : es PS C:\> 'sueco' | Get-Translation Swedish

Get-Translation with Output as an XML String


Get-LanguageList - List all the supported languages

Below is the list of languages currently supported by Microsoft Translator (2013-02-14). This list will automatically be updated if they add new languages, since they are also collected via the Microsoft Translator API. Use the -CustomLocale parameter to get language names in other languages. It accepts ISO 639-1 language codes.

Unless you change the current locale with -CustomLocale, or change from a custom locale back to English (possibly by not supplying a parameter at all), the results are cached and repeated Get-LanguageList calls won't trigger more API calls.

'''NB! The language that's last set with Get-LanguageList is also the one used by Get-Language.'''

<# .SYNOPSIS The Get-LanguageList cmdlet lists the languages supported by the Microsoft Translator API. The returned objects have three properties: Name, Code and NameLocale. Name: The name of the language in the language specified in NameLocale. Code: The ISO 639-1 language code for the language. NameLocale: The language to retrieve language names in. You can specify this with the -CustomLocale parameter to Get-LanguageList. The default is English. The language set with Get-LanguageList (default still English), in the property "NameLocale" determines which language is used by the cmdlet Get-Language when it returns a language name or "unknown" attempted translated to the specified language. .PARAMETER CustomLocale Optional. Default English ("en"). The ISO 639-1 language code for the language to retrieve language names in. For instance "de" returns language names in German. .EXAMPLE Get-LanguageList | Select -First 5 Name Code NameLocale ---- ---- ---------- Arabic ar en Bulgarian bg en Catalan ca en Czech cs en Danish da en .EXAMPLE Get-LanguageList -CustomLocale de | Select -First 5 Populating language list...

Use the -ToLanguage parameter to translate into a different language. You can specify the from language in case the auto-detection doesn't work or simply if you know the source language. By default, the cmdlet returns strings, and errors will start with "Error: " followed by the error text. If you use the -FullMatchObject parameter, you will get the full TranslationMatch object, and errors will be in an 'Error' property that exists on objects with information about translations/detections that failed. This error property does not exist on successful translation objects. This object is of the type System.Xml.XmlElement. If you use the -FullObject parameter, you will get the complete GetTranslationsResponse object which is of the type System.Xml.XmlDocument. .PARAMETER Text The text to translate. .PARAMETER FromLanguage Optional. Default is to auto-detect. The language the text to translate is in. .PARAMETER ToLanguage Optional. Default is English. The ISO 639-1 language code for the language to translate the text to. .PARAMETER MaxTranslations Optional. Default: 1. The maximum number of returned translations for the text. .PARAMETER FullObject Optional. Return the full GetTranslationsResponse XML document object. .PARAMETER FullMatchObject Optional. Return the full TranslationMatch object for the translation. .PARAMETER XmlString Optional. Return the full GetTranslationsResponse XML document object as a well-formatted XML string. .EXAMPLE 'I am using a translation module' | Get-Translation -ToLanguage de Ich verwende ein Übersetzung-Modul .EXAMPLE 'Ich verwende ein Übersetzung-Modul' | Get-Translation -FullMatchObject Count : 0 MatchDegree : 100 MatchedOriginalText : Rating : 5 TranslatedText : I use a translation engine .EXAMPLE 'Ich verwende ein Übersetzung-Modul' | Get-Translation -FromLanguage de -ToLanguage es -XmlString http://schemas.datacontract.org/2004/07/Microsoft.MT.Web.Service.V2" xmlns:i="">http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"> de 0 100 5 Utilizo un motor de traducción .EXAMPLE 'chicken', 'pork', 'foobarboo', 'beef', 'duck' | Get-Translation -ToLanguage fr poulet porc foobarboo boeuf canard

Sometimes when it can't find a translation, it returns the same text as it was, so beware of that.

.EXAMPLE 'å forstå' | Get-Translation

You can pipe values for the -Text parameter to the cmdlet.

It accepts only one parameter, which is the text. .DESCRIPTION The cmdlet will return an object with three properties, unless there's a terminating error, in which case the only property will be "Error" and its value will be the error message. For non-terminating errors, and successful detection, you will get returned an object with three properties: Name, Code, NameLocale. "Name" is the name of the detected language - represented as a string in the language indicated by the language code in the "NameLocale" property that's determined by Get-LanguageList. By default this is English unless you've used the -CustomLocale parameter for Get-LanguageList prior to running Get-Language. If it can't determine the source language, the "Name" and "Code" values will be "Unknown", attempted translated to the language in "NameLocale", which, as previously mentioned, is English unless you've used Get-LanguageList -CustomLocale. If the language is English, a translation won't be made and the text will literally be "Unknown".

"Code" is the ISO 639-1 language code for the language.
