          • text/plain : The input data consists of one or more unformatted text files. Amazon Translate translates every character in this type of input.

            • text/plain : The input data consists of one or more unformatted text files. Amazon Translate translates every character in this type of input.

            • application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document : The input data consists of one or more Word documents (.docx).

            • application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.presentationml.presentation : The input data consists of one or more PowerPoint Presentation files (.pptx).

            Warning

            If you structure your input data as HTML, ensure that you set this parameter to text/html . By doing so, you cut costs by limiting the translation to the contents of the html element in each file. Otherwise, if you set this parameter to text/plain , your costs will cover the translation of every character.

StartTextTranslationJob (updated) Link ¶
Changes (request)
{'ParallelDataNames': ['string']}

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.
