## Working with the API

Translate text from one source language to a destination language.

```ts
import { Predictions } from '@aws-amplify/predictions';

const result = await Predictions.convert({
  translateText: {
    source: {
      text: textToTranslate,
      language : "es"
    },
    targetLanguage: "en"
  }
})
```
