If you use

translate.google.com alogn with a translation you can see synonyms and examples. Of a translated words.

Unfortunately Google Translate API does not provide this type of information. There is no way to request it.

Please add new parameters to a REST endpoint includeSynonyms, includeExamples. And if parameter is set to 1/true, return this information in result.

The case currently does not reflect that your application is malfunctioning, hence I propose to set case priority to Normal.

Thanks,

I would be appreciative for synonym feature in API too.

ja...@gmail.com <ja...@gmail.com> #6Mar 26, 2015 09:40AM

Is it any expected deadline to implement this feature?

ma...@gmail.com <ma...@gmail.com> #7Apr 12, 2015 09:59AM

Indeed a must have feature

I want to have google translation suggestion and definition enabled on this translation api. This is very important for my project.
Please add it as soon as possible.

tr...@gmail.com <tr...@gmail.com> #10Dec 5, 2015 05:05PM

This would be extremely useful. Are there any specific reasons why this has not been done? Does it expose too much of the internal structure of Google's lexicon representations?

ma...@gmail.com <ma...@gmail.com> #11Dec 7, 2015 10:50PM

Please can you add synonyms on request of Translate API ?
i am doing the request in Rest using :

https://www.googleapis.com/language/translate/v2?key=MYKEY&source=EN&target=DE&q=logo

And the result is :
{
"data": {
"translations": [
{
"translatedText": "Logo"
}
]
}
}

I want also the synonym like in google translator, it's possible Mister Google ?

vi...@gmail.com <vi...@gmail.com> #12Dec 18, 2015 12:16AM

I really it. Something like old free API:

http://translate.google.com/translate_a/
Please

dk...@gmail.com <dk...@gmail.com> #13Jan 10, 2016 06:30PM

Synonyms and Definitions/Examples gives this API another level and meaning. I am highly considering using this Google API, however this functionality drives me into finding different translators. Including this feature in the API would be appreciated.

Fetching synonyms via google translate would be a tremendous feature

Hey everyone,

We don't support this right now, but if and when we do you'll be able to see that information in our API docs here:

https://cloud.google.com/translate/v2/translate-reference. Our engineering team is aware of your interest! In the interim, I'm closing this issue because it doesn't have to do with App Engine per se.

hy...@gmail.com <hy...@gmail.com> #17Sep 17, 2017 03:29PM

Fetching synonyms via google translate is a missing feature!!! We need it!!!

Does/will google translate API have an option to also see the weight of each synonym or alternate meaning like in the website version?
Example of what I want attached.

We need also this feature ASAP

at...@gmail.com <at...@gmail.com> #20Nov 4, 2018 04:40PM

We need this functionality... Thanks.

Definitions would be amazing! Please add.

ki...@kitnaib.co.uk <ki...@kitnaib.co.uk> #22Nov 21, 2018 05:39PM

Synonyms, definitions and, furthermore, antonyms and example sentences returned in the JSON would make Google Translate API far more useful as a one-stop shop.

I notice github repos built to 'scrape' the front end google translate page as a workaround, but we really don't want to be doing this. So we are using additional 3rd party APIs. I mention this as it seems to indicate that this would be a relatively easy (tech wise) addon to the spec. Would be interested to know if it is a business decision or technical for Google not to provide it?

More importantly, will it ever be provided?

av...@gmail.com <av...@gmail.com> #23Mar 26, 2019 12:32PM

Please add the synonym functionality!

Unbelievable that after 5 years Google has not yet released it. So much needed and ignored. This is a paid service and They can make a lot of money with this simple feature!!!

Lack of clear business development strategy leads to such forums!!!
