StartTextTranslationJob

Source: src/AWS/Translate/StartTextTranslationJob.ts

Runtime binding for translate:StartTextTranslationJob — start an asynchronous batch translation job over a collection of documents in S3.

The binding is constructed with the data-access role (the IAM role Amazon Translate assumes to read the input documents and write results; its trust policy must allow translate.amazonaws.com). The role’s ARN is injected as DataAccessRoleArn on every runtime request and the host is granted iam:PassRole on it alongside translate:StartTextTranslationJob (which has no resource-level IAM). Track the job with DescribeTextTranslationJob and stop it with StopTextTranslationJob.

Batch Translation Jobs

// deploy time — bind the Translate data-access role
const startJob = yield* AWS.Translate.StartTextTranslationJob(dataAccessRole);

// runtime
const job = yield* startJob({
  InputDataConfig: { S3Uri: "s3://my-bucket/input/", ContentType: "text/plain" },
  OutputDataConfig: { S3Uri: "s3://my-bucket/output/" },
  SourceLanguageCode: "en",
  TargetLanguageCodes: ["es"],
});
// job.JobId, job.JobStatus === "SUBMITTED"
