fetch batch translate job details using SDK - amazon-web-services

Question

I was trying to find the LanguagePair and Operation associated with a given AWS translate job using the JAVA SDK.
Using the AWS web console, i created a couple of batch jobs to translate a few english sentences to french. In CloudWatch, i could see the metric dimensions as
LanguagePair: en-fr
Operation: TranslateText
Can i retrieve the same information (LanguagePair and Operation) for a given job,
using the TranslateAsyncClient.describeTextTranslationJob(...) method ?

Answer 1

You can use the TranslateClient to describes a translation job given the job number as input. This uses the TranslateClient; however you can use the Async version as well.
import software.amazon.awssdk.regions.Region;
import software.amazon.awssdk.services.translate.TranslateClient;
import software.amazon.awssdk.services.translate.model.DescribeTextTranslationJobRequest;
import software.amazon.awssdk.services.translate.model.DescribeTextTranslationJobResponse;
import software.amazon.awssdk.services.translate.model.TranslateException;
// snippet-end:[translate.java2._describe_jobs.import]

public class DescribeTextTranslationJob {
public static void main(String[] args) {
final String USAGE = "\n" +
"Usage:\n" +
" DescribeTextTranslationJob <id> \n\n" +
"Where:\n" +
" id - a translation job ID value. You can obtain this value from the BatchTranslation example.\n";
if (args.length != 1) {
System.out.println(USAGE);
System.exit(1);
}
String id = args[0];
Region region = Region.US_WEST_2;
TranslateClient translateClient = TranslateClient.builder()
.region(region)
.build();
describeTextTranslationJob(translateClient, id);
translateClient.close();
}
// snippet-start:[translate.java2._describe_jobs.main]
public static void describeTextTranslationJob(TranslateClient translateClient, String id) {
try {
DescribeTextTranslationJobRequest textTranslationJobRequest = DescribeTextTranslationJobRequest.builder()
.jobId(id)
.build();
DescribeTextTranslationJobResponse jobResponse = translateClient.describeTextTranslationJob(textTranslationJobRequest);
System.out.println("The job status is "+jobResponse.textTranslationJobProperties().jobStatus());
System.out.println("The source language is "+jobResponse.textTranslationJobProperties().sourceLanguageCode());
System.out.println("The target language is "+jobResponse.textTranslationJobProperties().targetLanguageCodes());
} catch (TranslateException e) {
System.err.println(e.getMessage());
System.exit(1);
}
// snippet-end:[translate.java2._describe_jobs.main]
}
}
