Translating names to English for validation using external APIs

[bkowshik]

NOTE: Posting here to document a potential idea.

---

In changeset 48269805, there was one feature that was modified:

• The name of the marketplace was modified from English to Chinese

I gave Google Translate API a try to translate the new name 亚庇中央巴刹, back to English. The result was Kota Kinabalu. These two words match with the English name in the previous version of the feature, Pasar Kota Kinabalu Central.

'use strict';

const Translate = require('@google-cloud/translate');
const projectId = 'Insert project ID';
const translateClient = Translate({
    projectId: projectId
});

translateClient.translate('센트럴마켓', 'en')
.then((results) => {
    const translation = results[0];

    console.log(`Text: ${text}`);
    console.log(`Translation: ${translation}`);
})
.catch((err) => {
    console.error('ERROR:', err);
});

I don't think that should fit into Gabbar but into other systems.

Yes @lukasmartinelli, an external system makes more sense. No next actions here. Closing.
