This is required by the API and defaults to the target language of the current instance. :type format_: str :param format_: (Optional) One of ``text`` or ``html``, to specify if the input text is plain text or HTML. :type source_language: str :param source_language: (Optional) The language of the text to be translated. :type customization_ids: str or list :param customization_ids: (Optional) ID or list of customization IDs for translation. Sets the ``cid`` parameter in the query. :type model: str :param model: (Optional) The model used to translate the text, such as ``'base'`` or ``'nmt'``. :rtype: str or list :returns: A list of dictionaries for each queried value. Each dictionary typically contains three keys (though not all will be present in all cases) * ``detectedSourceLanguage``: The detected language (as an ISO 639-1 language code) of the text. * ``translatedText``: The translation of the text into the target language. * ``input``: The corresponding input value. * ``model``: The model used to translate the text.
