Translate a set of sentences

<?php
declare(strict_types=1);

use GuzzleHttp\Client;
use GuzzleHttp\Psr7\Request;
use impronta48\IBMWatson;

  $w = new IBMWatson($this->apikey, $this->url);
  $resJson = $w->translateSentence('hello', 'en', 'it');
  $resJson = $w->translateSentence(['hello','goodbye'], 'en', 'it');

  //Convert the Json String in a Object
  $res = json_decode($resJson);

  echo $res->translations[0]->translation;
  // returns ciao
  echo $res->word_count;
  // returns 1
  echo $res->character_count;
  // returns 5

Identify the language of a string

  $w = new IBMWatson($this->apikey, $this->url);
  $lang = $w->identifyLanguage('Mi chiamo Massimo e scrivo molto bene in italiano');
  echo $lang;
  // returns 'it'

Tranlsate a full file

  $w = new impronta48\IBMWatson($this->apikey, $this->url);
