Train TJBot to Identify Language in Node-RED

Today we’ll train TJBot to identify what language a greeting is in using the translate node and the Watson Language Translator service.

TJBot can identify languages using the IBM Watson Language Translator service. Create a Watson Language Translator service and copy the username and password credentials into the Language Translator section.

Use a translate node with the mode Identify Language, to identify the language with IBM Watson Language Translator service.

When the language that the greeting is in is identified, the response is outputted in the debug window. IBM Watson has a 0.59414 confidence score that Ciao is in Italian.

Here’s a video of how to train TJBot to identify the language of a greeting using the IBM Watson Language Translator service.

That’s it for today’s skill. What can you train TJBot to do now that it can identify languages.

Come back tomorrow and we’ll talk about identifying languages and translating greetings.

This post is part of a series of skills you can train TJBot to perform.
