Parameters

-ClientConfig <AmazonTranslateConfig>
Amazon.PowerShell.Cmdlets.TRN.AmazonTranslateClientCmdlet.ClientConfig
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
This parameter overrides confirmation prompts to force the cmdlet to continue its operation. This parameter should always be used with caution.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-PassThru <SwitchParameter>
Changes the cmdlet behavior to return the value passed to the Text parameter. The -PassThru parameter is deprecated, use -Select '^Text' instead. This parameter will be removed in a future version.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-Select <String>
Use the -Select parameter to control the cmdlet output. The default value is '*'. Specifying -Select '*' will result in the cmdlet returning the whole service response (Amazon.Translate.Model.TranslateTextResponse). Specifying the name of a property of type Amazon.Translate.Model.TranslateTextResponse will result in that property being returned. Specifying -Select '^ParameterName' will result in the cmdlet returning the selected cmdlet parameter value.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-Settings_Formality <Formality>
You can optionally 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.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-Settings_Profanity <Profanity>
Enable the profanity setting if you want Amazon Translate 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.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-SourceLanguageCode <String>
The language code for the language of the source text. The language must be a language supported by Amazon Translate. For a list of language codes, see Supported languages.To have Amazon Translate determine the source language of your text, you can specify auto in the SourceLanguageCode field. If you specify auto, Amazon Translate will call Amazon Comprehend to determine the source language.If you specify auto, you must send the TranslateText request in a region that supports Amazon Comprehend. Otherwise, the request returns an error indicating that autodetect is not supported.
Required?True
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-TargetLanguageCode <String>
The language code requested for the language of the target text. The language must be a language supported by Amazon Translate.
Required?True
