Automated Continuous Google Translate Replication to Microsoft Access

Always-on applications rely on automatic failover capabilities and real-time data access. CData Sync integrates live Google Translate data into your Microsoft Access instance, allowing you to consolidate all of your data into a single location for archiving, reporting, analytics, machine learning, artificial intelligence and more.

Configure Microsoft Access as a Replication Destination

Using CData Sync, you can replicate Google Translate data to Microsoft Access. To add a replication destination, navigate to the Connections tab.

1. Click Add Connection.
2. Select Microsoft Access as a destination.
3. Enter the necessary connection properties. To connect to Microsoft Access, set the following:
   • Data Source: The path to the Access database. The application must have read/write permissions to the database.
   • Provider: The OLEDB Provider. For MS Office 2007 and above, use Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0.

   Windows Edition

   Connecting to Access as a destination requires the Microsoft Access Database Engine, which can be downloaded from here.

   Be sure to download the correct bitness of the driver as 64bit MS Office only works with the 64bit driver. If using 32bit MS Office, you will need to host DataSync in IIS and enable 32-bit applications. This can be set in the "Advanced Settings" for you Application Pool. Refer to Configuration in IIS for more information on hosting DataSync in IIS.

4. Click Test Connection to ensure that the connection is configured properly.
5. Click Save Changes.

Configure the Google Translate Connection

You can configure a connection to Google Translate from the Connections tab. To add a connection to your Google Translate account, navigate to the Connections tab.

1. Click Add Connection.
2. Select a source (Google Translate).
3. Configure the connection properties.
   
   

   Authentication

   Google Cloud Translation API requires OAuth 2.0 authentication to ensure secure access to translation services, datasets, glossaries, and adaptive MT resources. This authentication method allows you to securely connect to your Google Cloud project and manage translation resources with proper authorization.

   OAuth 2.0 Setup and Configuration

   Step 1: Create Google Cloud Project and Enable API

   To set up OAuth authentication:

   1. Visit the Google Cloud Console
   2. Create a new project or select an existing project
   3. Note down your Project ID (required for all API calls)
   4. Navigate to "APIs & Services" > "Library"
   5. Search for and enable the "Cloud Translation API"
   6. Go to "APIs & Services" > "Credentials"
   7. Click "Create Credentials" and select "OAuth Client ID"
   8. Configure the OAuth consent screen if prompted
   9. Select "Desktop application" or "Web application" as appropriate
   10. Set the authorized redirect URI (CallbackURL)
   11. Copy the Client ID and Client Secret for use in your connection

   Required Connection Properties

   • AuthScheme: Set this to OAuth (required)
   • OAuthClientId: Client ID from Google Cloud Console (required)
   • OAuthClientSecret: Client secret from Google Cloud Console (required)
   • CallbackURL: Redirect URI specified in your OAuth application (required)
   • InitiateOAuth: Set to GETANDREFRESH for automatic token management (recommended)
   • ProjectId: Your Google Cloud project ID or project number (required for queries)

   Required OAuth Scopes

   The Google Cloud Translation API Profile requires the following OAuth scope:

   • https://www.googleapis.com/auth/cloud-translation - Full access to Cloud Translation API resources including translation, datasets, glossaries, and adaptive MT
   
4. Click Connect to ensure that the connection is configured properly.
5. Click Save Changes.

Configure Replication Queries

CData Sync enables you to control replication with a point-and-click interface and with SQL queries. For each replication you wish to configure, navigate to the Jobs tab and click Add Job. Select the Source and Destination for your replication.

Replicate Entire Tables

To replicate an entire table, click Add Tables in the Tables section, choose the table(s) you wish to replicate, and click Add Selected Tables.

Customize Your Replication

You can use the Columns and Query tabs of a task to customize your replication. The Columns tab allows you to specify which columns to replicate, rename the columns at the destination, and even perform operations on the source data before replicating. The Query tab allows you to add filters, grouping, and sorting to the replication.

Schedule Your Replication

In the Schedule section, you can schedule a job to run automatically, configuring the job to run after specified intervals ranging from once every 10 minutes to once every month.

Once you have configured the replication job, click Save Changes. You can configure any number of jobs to manage the replication of your Google Translate data to Microsoft Access.
