Translate a column in a data frame — translate

This function translates a specified column in a data frame from a source language to a target language using various translation services.

Usage

translate_df(dataset, column, source_lang, target_lang, translator = "wmcloud")

Arguments

dataset: A data frame containing the text to be translated.
column: The name of the column to translate (a string).
source_lang: The source language code (e.g., "en").
target_lang: The target language code - only one allowed (e.g., "es", "fr").
translator: The translation service to use. Options are "wmcloud" (default), "deepl", and "gemini". Note that "deepl" uses babelquarto and "gemini" uses mall, both of these require an API token in your environment.
