If you need translation feature, see below.
Message translation feature is provided through Google Cloud Translation. To use this feature, register an appropriate Google Cloud Service Account Key on our dashboard.
To enable message translation, provide the language code (ISO-639) in translationTargetLanguage parameter when logging in.
Supported languages (ISO-639) can be found .
'translations' field in message object contains translated texts. Use language code as key to retrieve the text.
Messages are sorted by most recent (default).
Setting translationTargetLanguage parameter returns messages with translated text.
Use this to translate channel messages from the past.
For realtime message translation, see .
const resp = await client.getMessages({
channelId: 'my_channel',
order: 'latest', // default: 'latest'. Use 'oldest' to order by oldest messages first
limit: 10, // how many messages to fetch, default: 20, max: 50
});
if (resp.hasNext) {
const lastMessageId = resp.messages[resp.messages.length - 1].id;
const moreResp = await client.getMessages({
channelId: 'my_channel',
lastMessageId: lastMessageId,
limit: 10,
});
}

const channelGetResp = await client.getChannel({channelId: 'demo channel'});
const channelObject = channelGetResp.channel;
const msgResp = await client.getMessages({channelId: 'my channel'});
const messageObject = msgResp.messages[0]; // assume that message array is not empty in this example
