cloud translation/transliteration API unifed solution

[shivam432]

Hello all,

Am Integration Developer from Western Digital Corp, have been working on a project which requires transliteration of Japanese words.  For many words, it is working as expected, but for few-words we need English translation of it.

I cannot use purely Google translation because i need to translate names as well.

So for that, i am reaching out to google support. Please let me know that is there any unified solution ie., API or libraries(Translation and Transliteration).

I am providing one example of it, please find it below.

Good day @shivam432,

Welcome to Google Cloud Community!

If you want to control how other terms are translated, you can try creating and using a glossary, it is a custom dictionary used by the Cloud Translation API to translate the customers domain specific terminology. For example, you don't want to translate the product name from English to another language (e.g. YouTube Home must only translate to YouTube Home). You can also use this to translate a word to a specific word only, specially if the word has multiple meanings (homonyms), for example, the word duck may mean an animal or to lower someones head, but you want to translate the specific word "duck" that pertains to an animal, you can use glossary for this. For more information on how to create and use glossaries, you can check this link: https://cloud.google.com/translate/docs/advanced/glossary

Hope this helps!
