Multilingual discovery

const foreignDoc = await fetchDocumentText();
const result = await client.translate.v1.translate({
q: foreignDoc,
target: 'en', // Translate to English
format: 'text'
});
Client communications
Translate client correspondence in their preferred language:
const languages = ['es', 'zh', 'ar']; // Spanish, Chinese, Arabic
for (const lang of languages) {
const translated = await client.translate.v1.translate({
q: emailContent,
target: lang
});
// Send localized email
}
Evidence processing
Detect and translate multilingual evidence:
// First detect the language
const detection = await client.translate.v1.detect({
q: evidenceText
});
const sourceLanguage = detection.data.detections[0][0].language;
// Then translate if not English
if (sourceLanguage !== 'en') {
const translated = await client.translate.v1.translate({
q: evidenceText,
source: sourceLanguage,
target: 'en'
});
