SuiteScript Response Object Members for Machine Translation

The Response Object Members in SuiteScript's machine translation module are crucial for handling translation tasks. Understanding these members allows developers to effectively manage errors and retrieve translated documents.

What are Response Object Members?

Response Object Members are properties within the machine translation service that return errors and results from document translations. This helps developers understand any issues that arise during the translation process and manage outputs effectively.

Key Properties

Property Descriptions

• Response.errors: This property will hold an array of machineTranslation.Error objects. Each object represents a specific error encountered during the translation process, such as unrecognized characters in the text. If no errors occurred, this array is empty.

• Response.results: This property returns an array of translated documents. Each document is represented as a machineTranslation.Document object, allowing easy retrieval and handling of translation outputs.

Error Handling

Common Error Codes

Example Syntax

The following code demonstrates how to use the properties of the Response Object. Note that while this is not a functional example, it highlights how to handle translation results and errors.

4const myDocument = machineTranslation.createDocument({
5    id: 'myDoc',
6    text: 'This is a document to be translated.'
7});

9const translationResults = machineTranslation.translate({
10    documents: [myDocument],
11    targetLanguage: machineTranslation.Language.CZECH
12});
13 
14if (translationResults.errors.length) {
15    // Handle the error message
16    const docErrorId = translationResults.errors[0].documentId;
17    const docErrorMessage = translationResults.errors[0].message;
18}

Conclusion

Understanding the Response Object Members in SuiteScript enables developers to efficiently process translations and manage errors during the translation process. Effective error handling not only enhances the user experience but also ensures accurate translations and proper functionality of applications.
