Class Translate

  • public class Translate
extends java.lang.Object
    Translate (普通话, Simplified & Traditional Chinese) Characters.

    This provides a marginally simpler way to access Google Cloud Server's Translate API, with a specification-requirement of using Mandarin. It converts the JSON, automatically, into Java Vector's of Strings. Translations can be provided, of Mandarin, in English, Spanish, and even the "Traditional Character Set" of Mandarin.



    Stateless Class:
    This class neither contains any program-state, nor can it be instantiated. The @StaticFunctional Annotation may also be called 'The Spaghetti Report'. Static-Functional classes are, essentially, C-Styled Files, without any constructors or non-static member fields. It is a concept very similar to the Java-Bean's @Stateless Annotation.

    • 1 Constructor(s), 1 declared private, zero-argument constructor

        This receives as input a sentence in simplified Mandarin Chinese. If it finds a period in it, it breaks the sentence up into smaller bricks based around the period. It queries Google Translate using this sentence.
        Parameters:
        chinese - Any sentence, paragraph, phrase or word in Simplified-Mandarin
        Returns:
        Two separate Strings returned in a String array - two elements long.
        1. ret[0] - The pronunciation (罗马拼音) String scraped from a call to Google Translate
