[sebgoa]

Hi, I am total newbie with tika but I got the basics running properly.

I am curious to know how I could use this client to do a translation that use the Google translate API ?

thanks,

and fwiw, I cannot use the default translation with lingo42

I'll respond shortly sorry. You have to add your config file and custom start tika server with translation property file info

hey @sebgoa so this works fine.

Start the Tika server with Classpath pointing to your language keys

Use Tika-Python

here is the structure of language-keys:

$ tree language-keys
./language-keys
└── org
    └── apache
        └── tika
            └── language
                └── translate
                    ├── translator.google.properties
                    ├── translator.lingo24.properties
                    └── translator.microsoft.properties

5 directories, 3 files 

Each of the properties files has your associated keys, e.g., as shown here:

• translator.google.properties
• translator.lingo24.properties
• translator.microsoft.properties

Thanks Chris for the detailed answer. FWIW we are packaging Tika as a Kubernetes Chart here: https://github.com/bitnami/charts/tree/tika-server/incubator/tika-server
