Translate text between languages with Amazon Translate

This tutorial shows you how to use Amazon Translate to translate text between languages, auto-detect the source language, and list supported languages.

Prerequisites

  • AWS CLI configured with credentials and a default region
  • Permissions to call Amazon Translate APIs

Step 1: Translate English to Spanish

aws translate translate-text \
    --text "Your text here" \
    --source-language-code en --target-language-code es \
    --query 'TranslatedText' --output text

Step 2: Translate English to French

aws translate translate-text \
    --text "Your text here" \
    --source-language-code en --target-language-code fr \
    --query 'TranslatedText' --output text

Step 3: Translate English to Japanese

aws translate translate-text \
    --text "Your text here" \
    --source-language-code en --target-language-code ja \
    --query 'TranslatedText' --output text

Step 4: Auto-detect source language

Use auto as the source language code to let Translate detect the language:

aws translate translate-text \
    --text "Amazon Translate ist ein neuronaler maschineller Übersetzungsdienst." \
    --source-language-code auto --target-language-code en \
    --query '{Translation:TranslatedText,DetectedLanguage:SourceLanguageCode}' --output table

Step 5: List supported languages

aws translate list-languages \
    --query 'Languages[:10].{Name:LanguageName,Code:LanguageCode}' --output table

Cleanup

No cleanup needed. Translate is a stateless API — no resources are created.

The script automates all steps:

bash amazon-translate-gs.sh
