AWS API Changes

2020/01/08 - Amazon Translate - 4 new api methods

Changes This release adds a new family of APIs for asynchronous batch translation service that provides option to translate large collection of text or HTML documents stored in Amazon S3 folder. This service accepts a batch of up to 5 GB in size per API call with each document not exceeding 1 MB size and the number of documents not exceeding 1 million per batch. See documentation for more information.

StartTextTranslationJob (new)

Link ¶

Starts an asynchronous batch translation job. Batch translation jobs can be used to translate large volumes of text across multiple documents at once. For more information, see async .

Batch translation jobs can be described with the DescribeTextTranslationJob operation, listed with the ListTextTranslationJobs operation, and stopped with the StopTextTranslationJob operation.

Note

Amazon Translate does not support batch translation of multiple source languages at once.
