ContentType (string) --
Describes the format of the data that you submit to Amazon Translate as input. You can specify one of the following multipurpose internet mail extension (MIME) types:
text/html: The input data consists of one or more HTML files. Amazon Translate translates only the text that resides in the html element in each file.

You can specify the desired level of formality for translations to supported target languages. The formality setting controls the level of formal language usage (also known as register) in the translation output. You can set the value to informal or formal. If you don't specify a value for formality, or if the target language doesn't support formality, the translation will ignore the formality setting.
If you specify multiple target languages for the job, translate ignores the formality setting for any unsupported target language.
For a list of target languages that support formality, see Supported languages in the Amazon Translate Developer Guide.
Profanity (string) --
You can enable the profanity setting if you want to mask profane words and phrases in your translation output.
To mask profane words and phrases, Amazon Translate replaces them with the grawlix string “?$#@$“. This 5-character sequence is used for each profane word or phrase, regardless of the length or number of words.
Amazon Translate doesn't detect profanity in all of its supported languages. For languages that don't support profanity detection, see Unsupported languages in the Amazon Translate Developer Guide.
If you specify multiple target languages for the job, all the target languages must support profanity masking. If any of the target languages don't support profanity masking, the translation job won't mask profanity for any target language.
Brevity (string) --
When you turn on brevity, Amazon Translate reduces the length of the translation output for most translations (when compared with the same translation with brevity turned off). By default, brevity is turned off.
If you turn on brevity for a translation request with an unsupported language pair, the translation proceeds with the brevity setting turned off.
For the language pairs that brevity supports, see Using brevity in the Amazon Translate Developer Guide.

Batch translation translates each input document into each of the target languages. For more information, see Asynchronous batch processing.
Batch translation jobs can be described with the DescribeTextTranslationJob operation, listed with the ListTextTranslationJobs operation, and stopped with the StopTextTranslationJob operation.

Translates the input document from the source language to the target language. This synchronous operation supports text, HTML, or Word documents as the input document. TranslateDocument supports translations from English to any supported language, and from any supported language to English. Therefore, specify either the source language code or the target language code as “en” (English).
If you set the Formality parameter, the request will fail if the target language does not support formality. For a list of target languages that support formality, see Setting formality.

string
[REQUIRED]
The language code for the language of the source text. For a list of language codes, see Supported languages.

dict
Settings to configure your translation output. You can configure the following options:
Brevity: reduces the length of the translated output for most translations.
Formality: sets the formality level of the output text.
Profanity: masks profane words and phrases in your translation output.
Formality (string) --
You can specify the desired level of formality for translations to supported target languages. The formality setting controls the level of formal language usage (also known as register) in the translation output. You can set the value to informal or formal. If you don't specify a value for formality, or if the target language doesn't support formality, the translation will ignore the formality setting.
If you specify multiple target languages for the job, translate ignores the formality setting for any unsupported target language.
For a list of target languages that support formality, see Supported languages in the Amazon Translate Developer Guide.
Profanity (string) --
You can enable the profanity setting if you want to mask profane words and phrases in your translation output.
To mask profane words and phrases, Amazon Translate replaces them with the grawlix string “?$#@$“. This 5-character sequence is used for each profane word or phrase, regardless of the length or number of words.
Amazon Translate doesn't detect profanity in all of its supported languages. For languages that don't support profanity detection, see Unsupported languages in the Amazon Translate Developer Guide.
If you specify multiple target languages for the job, all the target languages must support profanity masking. If any of the target languages don't support profanity masking, the translation job won't mask profanity for any target language.
Brevity (string) --
When you turn on brevity, Amazon Translate reduces the length of the translation output for most translations (when compared with the same translation with brevity turned off). By default, brevity is turned off.
If you turn on brevity for a translation request with an unsupported language pair, the translation proceeds with the brevity setting turned off.
For the language pairs that brevity supports, see Using brevity in the Amazon Translate Developer Guide.
