+# Google Cloud Translate Sample
+
+This sample demonstrates the use of [Google Cloud Translate
+API][Translate-Docs] for translating and detecting language text.
+
+[Translate-Docs]: https://cloud.google.com/translate/docs/
+
+## Java Version
+
+This sample requires you to have
+[Java8](https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/technotes/guides/install/install_overview.html).
+
+## Download Maven
+
+This sample uses the [Apache Maven][maven] build system. Before getting started,
+be
+sure to [download][maven-download] and [install][maven-install] it. When you use
+Maven as described here, it will automatically download the needed client
+libraries.
+
+[maven]: https://maven.apache.org
+[maven-download]: https://maven.apache.org/download.cgi
+[maven-install]: https://maven.apache.org/install.html
+
+## Run the sample
+
+To build the sample, we use Maven.
+
+```bash
+mvn clean compile assembly:single
+```
+
+We can then run the assembled JAR file with the `java` command. The variable
+$COMMAND takes three values `langsupport`, `detect` and `translate`.
+
+```
+JAR_FILE=target/translate-1.0-SNAPSHOT-jar-with-dependencies.jar
+java -jar $JAR_FILE <detect|translate|langsupport> <text>
+    <optional_source> <optional_target>
+```
+
+Example Usage:
+
+```
+INPUT="A quick brown fox jumped over a lazy dog."
+SOURCE_LANG="en"
+TARGET_LANG="fr"
+```
+
+Translate API Features:
+
+ * List the languages supported by the API
+   ```
+   java -jar $JAR_FILE langsupport
+   ```
+
+ * Detect input text language
+   ```
+   java -jar $JAR_FILE detect "$INPUT"
+  ```
+
+ * Translate input text (with options)
+   ```
+   java -jar $JAR_FILE translate "$INPUT"
+   java -jar $JAR_FILE translate "$INPUT" $SOURCE_LANG $TARGET_LANG
+   ```
