Working with the API

Here is an example of translating text. In order to override any choices you made in regards to target or source languages while adding this resource using the Amplify CLI, you can pass in them in directly as parameters as shown below.

1func translateText(text: String) async throws -> String {
2  do {
3    let result = try await Amplify.Predictions.convert(
4        .translateText(text, from: .english, to: .italian)
5    )
6    print("Translated text: \(result.text)")
7    return result.text
8  } catch let error as PredictionsError {
9      print("Error translating text: \(error)")
10      throw error
11  } catch {
12      print("Unexpected error: \(error)")
13      throw error
14  }
15}

1func translateText(text: String) -> AnyCancellable {
2    Amplify.Publisher.create {
3        try await Amplify.Predictions.convert(
4          .translateText(text, from: .english, to: .italian)
5        )
6    }
7    .sink(receiveCompletion: { completion in
8        if case let .failure(error) = completion {
9            print("Error translating text: \(error)")
10        }
11    }, receiveValue: { value in
12        print("Translated text: \(value.text)")
13    })
14}

As a result of running this code, you will see the translated text printed to the console.
