Usage

Translation, transcription and text/language corrections

var translator = new GoogleTranslator();

Language from = Language.Auto;
Language to = GoogleTranslator.GetLanguageByName("Japanese");

TranslationResult result = await translator.TranslateLiteAsync("Hello. How are you?", from, to);

//The result is separated by the suggestions and the '\n' symbols
string[] resultSeparated = result.FragmentedTranslation;

//You can get all text using MergedTranslation property
string resultMerged = result.MergedTranslation;

//There is also original text transcription
string transcription = result.TranslatedTextTranscription; // Kon'nichiwa! Ogenkidesuka?

Language auto detection and correction

var result2 = await translator.TranslateLiteAsync("Drones", Language.Auto, Language.Czech);

foreach(LanguageDetection languageDetection in result2.LanguageDetections)
{
	Console.WriteLine(languageDetection);
}

// The output will be next. Double in brackets is confidence
// Spanish (0.61010)
// English (0.34365)

Language spanish = new Language("Spanish", "es"); // For the method, only the second parameter is important (ISO639)

result2 = await translator.TranslateLiteAsync("world", spanish, Language.Czech);
Console.WriteLine(result2.LanguageDetections.First()); // English (0.98828)
Console.WriteLine(result2.MergedTranslation) // мир

Text corrections

string misspellingsText = "The quik brown fox jumps ovver the lazy dog"

var english = new Language("English language", "en");
// you could also get language from Language static properties
// for example: Language.English or Language.Korean

// check language is valid for GoogleTranslator class
Console.WriteLine(GoogleTranslator.IsLanguageSupported(english)); 

var result3 = await translator.TranslateLiteAsync(misspellingsText, english, GoogleTranslator.GetLanguageByISO("ru"));

if(result3.Corrections.TextWasCorrected)
	Console.WriteLine(string.Join(",", result3.Corrections.CorrectedWords); // "quick", "over"
	
Console.WriteLine(result3.MergedTranslation) // "Быстрая коричневая лиса прыгает через ленивую собаку"

Synonyms, extra translations, definitions and so on.

GoogleTranslator translator = new GoogleTranslator();

var result4 = await translator.TranslateAsync("книга", Language.Russian, Language.English);

if(result.ExtraTranslations != null)
  Console.WriteLine(result.ExtraTranslations.ToString()); // ToString returns friendly for reading string
  

Example of ToString output:

Noun:
book: книга, книжка, журнал, книжечка, том, текст
volume: объем, том, громкость, книга, емкость, масса
Abbreviation:
bk: книга, назад, обратно

You can also get any part of the speech indently

foreach(ExtraTranslation item in result4.ExtraTranslations)
  Console.WriteLine($"{item.Phrase}: {String.Join(", ", item.PhraseTranslations)}"); 
  // just like item.ToString()

Google Translate can ban IP that sends too many requests at the same time. Ban lasts about a few hours, but you can use a Proxy

var proxy = new WebProxy(uri); // You also can use GoogleTranslateFreeApi.Proxy class for this
translator.Proxy = proxy;
