Cómo funciona esta extensión

Use this extension to translate strings (for example, text messages) written to a Cloud Firestore collection.

This extension listens to your specified Cloud Firestore collection. If you add a string to a specified field in any document within that collection, this extension:

• Translates the string into your specified target language(s); the source language of the string is automatically detected.
• Adds the translation(s) of the string to a separate specified field in the same document.

You specify the desired target languages using ISO-639-1 codes. You can find a list of valid languages and their corresponding codes in the Cloud Translation API documentation.

If the original non-translated field of the document is updated, then the translations will be automatically updated, as well.

Multiple collections for translations

To translate multiple collections, install this extension multiple times, specifying a different collection path each time. There is currently no limit on how many instances of an extension you can install.

Multiple field translations

To translate multiple fields, store a map of input strings in the input field:

admin.firestore().collection('translations').add({
  first: "My name is Bob",
  second: "Hello, friend"
})

Multiple languages

To translate text into multiple languages, set the languages parameter to a comma-separated list of languages, such as en,fr,de. See the supported languages list.

Additional setup

Before installing this extension, make sure that you've set up a Cloud Firestore database in your Firebase project.
