Getting translation alternatives via API #64

Closed nielsrolf closed 1 year ago

deepl.com shows me multiple alternatives for a translation:

Is this feature available via the API? I see that deepl.com sends a jsonrpc to retrieve this, but I couldn't find any docs on how to use this endpoint.

Hi @nielsrolf Niels, thanks for creating this issue.

No, for business reasons the DeepL API does not provide the alternative translations.

This is unfortunate. It would be great it this was referenced in the documentation as I spent a bit of time trying to figure out how to return alternate translations.

(For reference: I'm building a flash card app, and wanted to provide suggested translations. Providing a single response is insufficient for words with multiple meanings.)
