AI functions

A set of functions that use AI services, such as the machine translation service for translating text and large language models for computer vision and natural language processing. The use of AI services may not be allowed in your organization. You can view and change this in the AI Assistants section of the Organization settings page. AI functions are currently in beta. While in beta, AI functions do not consume credits. AI functions are currently not supported in ArcGIS Enterprise.

TranslateText

TranslateText(inputText, toLanguages, fromLanguage?) -> Dictionary

Since version 1.32

Function bundle: AI

This function is currently in beta. While in beta, AI functions do not consume credits. The use of AI services may not be allowed in your organization. You can view and change this in the AI Assistants section of the Organization settings page. AI functions are currently not supported in ArcGIS Enterprise.

Translates input text from a source language into one or more target languages. Language codes (e.g. "en" for English, "es" for Spanish) specify the languages involved. The underlying machine translation service uses AI to generate the translated output.

Parameters

• inputText: Text | Array<Text> - The text to translate. This can be a single text value or an array of text values.
• toLanguages: Text | Array<Text> - The target language(s) to translate to. This can be a single language code or an array of language codes.
• fromLanguage (Optional): Text - The source language of the input text. If not specified, the service will attempt to auto-detect the source language.

Return value: Dictionary
A dictionary containing the translated text.

• success: Boolean - Indicates whether the translation was successful. This value will be false if the use of AI services is not allowed in your organization. You can view and change this in the AI Assistants section of the Organization settings page.

• results: Array<Dictionary> - An array of dictionaries containing the translation results for each inputText value.

  • key: Text - The index of the input text in the original array.

  • text: Text - The input text that was translated.

  • detectedLanguage: Dictionary - The detected language of the input text, if applicable.

    • language: Text - The language code of the detected language.
    • score: Number - The confidence score of the detected language. Values range from 0 to 1, where 1 indicates high confidence. A value of -1 indicates that the language was not detected.

  • translation: Dictionary - A dictionary of translated values where the key is the language code and the value is the translation.
