Translating

$  pub run arb_translator:translate --source_arb path/to/source_en.arb --api_key path/to/api_key_file --language_codes hi,en,zh

Changing location of translated file

• use --output_directory with directory argument to change the saving location for the translated output file

$  pub run arb_translator:translate --source_arb path/to/source_en.arb --api_key path/to/api_key_file --language_codes hi,en,zh --output_directory /path/to/my/custom/directory/

Don't like the name arb_translator_..blah..blah..blah.arb ??

• use --output_file_name with the single file name so that the output file name will be changed.
• from the below code the output file will be of the name justkawal_{language code}.arb
• Remember that we will automatically concate the language code of the respective files

$  pub run arb_translator:translate --source_arb path/to/source_en.arb --api_key path/to/api_key_file --language_codes hi,en,zh --output_directory /path/to/my/custom/directory/ --output_file_name justkawal_

How to save api_key

• Create a text file and then put the api key got from google cloud console in that file.
• Now just simple call the file's path as the argument for --api_key

Having trouble using api key for translation ?

• Enable Cloud Translation API inside APIS and Services section in google cloud console.
• Some quota of google Cloud translation APIS are free for translating upto a limit
