Can't use the Translate API
The following does not work:
app.run(function (GApi) {
// Load Google Translate Client Library
GApi.load('translate', 'v2');
});
app.controller('FooCtrl', function(GApi) {
var params = {};
GApi.execute('translate', 'detections.list', params).then(function (result) {
// ...
});
});
The issue is that the Translate API is available as language
under window.gapi.client
and not as translate
. The call to execute()
method results in an error since the following is tried:
$window.gapi.client['translate'].detections.list.execute(params);
whereas $window.gapi.client['translate']
results to undefined
.
My workaround has been as follows:
app.run(function (GApi, $window) {
// Load Google Translate Client Library
GApi.load('translate', 'v2').then(function (result) {
// the API has been loaded successfully
$window.gapi.client.translate = $window.gapi.client.language;
});
});
This works nicely, but the library should take care of this case and not the client. I can start a PR on this if needed!?
