Use SharpAPI for Translating E-Commerce Product Info

In Auctibles, we use SharpAPI to translate product info.

Auctibles is built with the Laravel PHP framework.

The Service

We defined a service that will translate a text into a given language.

The service provides a translate function that translates the text parameter into the required language:

<?php
namespace App\Services;

use GuzzleHttp\Exception\ClientException;

class SharpAPI
{
    private $service;

    public function __construct()
    {
    }

    public function translate(string $text, string $to_language)
    {       

        try {

            $statusUrl = \SharpApiService::translate($text, $to_language);

        } catch(ClientException $e) {

            $rsp = $e->getResponse();
            return ['flag' => null];

        }

        $result = \SharpApiService::fetchResults($statusUrl);
        $res = json_decode($result->getResultJson());

        return ['flag' => true, 'content' => $res->content];
    }

}

The function returns an associative array, with:

• bool flag - signifying success or failure
• content - translated content
