You can use translate package to do so.

Practical example

1. Install translate package.

xxxxxxxxxx
 
npm i translate

2. Create a function that translates text passed as the first argument to the language of your choice.

xxxxxxxxxx
 
const translate = require('translate');
​
async function translateString(text, options) {
    return await translate(text, options);
}
​
​
​
// Usage example 1:
​
const options = { from: 'eng', to: 'pl' };
​
translateString('Hello World!', options)
    .then(result => console.log(result))
    .catch(error => console.error(error));
​
​
​
// Usage example 2 (in async scope):
​
const options = { from: 'eng', to: 'pl' };
​
try {
    const result = await translateString('Hello World!', options);
    console.log(result);
} catch (error) {
    console.error(error);
}
