poly-translator

A multi-language translation aggregator library written in Rust, supporting multiple translation service APIs with a modern asynchronous architecture design. This library provides efficient and reliable translation solutions for the Rust ecosystem by aggregating Baidu, Youdao, Caiyun, Alibaba, MyMemory, and other translation services.

✨ Features

• Multi-Service Aggregation: Aggregates Baidu, Youdao, Caiyun, Alibaba, and MyMemory translation services
• Async-First Design: Built on async/await pattern, fully utilizing Rust's async runtime
• Factory Pattern: Unified translator creation through TranslatorFactory for cleaner code
• Type Safety: Complete type definitions and error handling for compile-time safety
• Easy Extension: Follows the Open-Closed Principle; new translation services only need to implement the AsyncTranslator trait
• Comprehensive Testing: Includes unit tests and integration tests to ensure code quality

Core Design

• AsyncTranslator Trait: Defines the common interface for translators; all translators must implement this trait
• TranslationOutput: Standardized translation result structure containing translated text and target language information
• TranslationListOutput: Batch translation result structure supporting multiple text translations
• TranslatorError: Unified error enum covering various error scenarios during translation
• TranslatorFactory: Factory class responsible for creating corresponding translator instances based on type

📦 Installation

Add the dependency in your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
poly-translator = "1.0.3"

or

[dependencies]
poly-translator = { path = "path/to/poly-translator" }

Or install from Git:

[dependencies]
poly-translator = { git = "https://github.com/magicgis/PolyTranslator.git" }

🚀 Quick Start

Basic Usage

use poly_translator::{
    async_translator::{AsyncTranslator, TranslationOutput},
    translator_factory::TranslatorFactory,
    TranslatorType,
};

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> anyhow::Result<()> {
    // Create translator factory
    let factory = TranslatorFactory;

    // Create Baidu translator (requires environment variables)
    // export BAIDU_APP_ID=your_app_id
    // export BAIDU_KEY=your_app_secret
    let baidu = factory.create_from_env(TranslatorType::Baidu)?;

    // Perform translation
    let result: TranslationOutput = baidu
        .translate("Hello World", None, &Language::Chinese)
        .await?;

    println!("Translated text: {}", result.text);
    println!("Target language: {:?}", result.lang);

    Ok(())
}

Specified Language Translation

use poly_translator::async_translator::Language;

// Chinese to English
let result = translator
    .translate("你好世界", Some(Language::Chinese), &Language::English)
    .await?;

// English to Chinese
let result = translator
    .translate("Hello World", Some(Language::English), &Language::Chinese)
    .await?;

// Auto-detect language
let result = translator
    .translate("Hello World", None, &Language::Japanese)
    .await?;

Batch Translation

use translator::async_translator::AsyncTranslator;

let texts = vec![
    "Hello".to_string(),
    "World".to_string(),
    "Rust".to_string(),
];

let results = translator.translate_vec(&texts, None, &Language::Chinese).await?;

for (original, translated) in texts.iter().zip(results.text.iter()) {
    println!("{} -> {}", original, translated);
}

Using Different Translation Services

use poly_translator::translator_factory::TranslatorType;

// Baidu translation
let baidu = TranslatorFactory.create_from_env(TranslatorType::Baidu)?;

// Youdao translation (requires YOUDAO_APP_KEY and YOUDAO_APP_SECRET)
let youdao = TranslatorFactory.create_from_env(TranslatorType::Youdao)?;

// Caiyun translation (requires CAIYUN_TOKEN)
let caiyun = TranslatorFactory.create_from_env(TranslatorType::Caiyun)?;

// Alibaba translation
let alibaba = TranslatorFactory.create_from_env(TranslatorType::Alibaba)?;

// MyMemory translation (free service, no API key required)
let mymemory = TranslatorFactory.create_from_env(TranslatorType::MyMemory)?;

⚙️ Environment Variable Configuration

Environment variables required by each translation service:

You can also configure these variables by creating a .env file in the project root:

# Baidu Translation
BAIDU_APP_ID=your_app_id
BAIDU_KEY=your_app_secret

# Youdao Translation
YOUDAO_APP_KEY=your_app_key
YOUDAO_APP_SECRET=your_app_secret

# Caiyun Translation
CAIYUN_TOKEN=your_token
CAIYUN_REQUEST_ID=demo

📊 Supported Languages

• Chinese Simplified
• Chinese Traditional
• English
• Japanese
• Korean
• French
• German
• Russian
• Spanish
• Portuguese
• Italian

• And more...

Please refer to each translator's implementation for the specific supported language list.

🧪 Testing

This project includes comprehensive test cases:

# Run all tests

cargo test caiyun

# View test coverage
cargo tarpaulin --output-dir ./coverage

Test Types

• Unit Tests: Test core functionality of each translator
• Integration Tests: Test connection with real APIs (requires API keys)
• Doc Tests: Ensure correctness of documentation examples

📈 Performance Characteristics

• Async Concurrency: Uses tokio async runtime to support high-concurrency translation requests
• Connection Pool: Built-in HTTP connection pool to reduce connection establishment overhead
• Efficient Serialization: Uses serde for efficient JSON serialization/deserialization
• Low Memory Footprint: Rust's memory safety features ensure low memory usage

🛡️ Error Handling

This library uses thiserror to define complete error types:

#[derive(Debug, thiserror::Error)]
pub enum TranslatorError {
    #[error("Failed to fetch")]
    Reqwest(#[from] reqwest::Error),

    #[error("Api returned invalid response")]
    ApiError(ApiError),

    #[error("Couldnt convert language")]
    UnknownLanguage(Language),

    #[error("failed to convert string to language")]
    CouldNotMapLanguage(Option<String>),

    #[error("api did not return a response")]
    NoResponse,

    #[error("Request was too long")]
    RequestToLong(u32, u32),

    #[error("Request failed with status code")]
    RequestFailed(u16),

    #[error("Translator required a input language")]
    NoLanguage,
}

🔧 Custom Extension

Adding New Translation Services

1. Create a new translator file (e.g., custom_translator.rs)
2. Implement the AsyncTranslator trait
3. Register the new module in mod.rs
4. Add a new variant to the TranslatorType enum
5. 在 TranslatorFactory::create_from_env 中添加创建逻辑

Example:

use async_trait::async_trait;
use crate::async_translator::{AsyncTranslator, TranslationOutput, Language};

pub struct CustomTranslator {
    // Configuration fields
}

#[async_trait]
impl AsyncTranslator for CustomTranslator {
    async fn translate(
        &self,
        query: &str,
        from: Option<Language>,
        to: &Language,
    ) -> anyhow::Result<TranslationOutput> {
        // Implement translation logic
        Ok(TranslationOutput {
            text: translated_text,
            lang: Some(*to),
        })
    }
}
