Run `amplify push` to create the resources in the cloud.

## Working with the API

### Translate text as configured

<BlockSwitcher>
<Block name="Java">

Open `MainActivity.java` and add the following to the bottom of `onCreate()`:

```java
Amplify.Predictions.translateText("I like to eat spaghetti",
  result -> Log.i("MyAmplifyApp", result.getTranslatedText()),
  error -> Log.e("MyAmplifyApp", "Translation failed", error)
);
```

</Block>
<Block name="Kotlin - Callbacks">

Open `MainActivity.kt` and add the following to the bottom of `onCreate()`:

```kotlin
Amplify.Predictions.translateText("I like to eat spaghetti",
  { Log.i("MyAmplifyApp", it.translatedText) },
  { Log.e("MyAmplifyApp", "Translation failed", it) }
)
```

</Block>
<Block name="Kotlin - Coroutines">

Open `MainActivity.kt` and add the following to the bottom of `onCreate()`:

```kotlin
val text = "I like to eat spaghetti"
try {
  val result = Amplify.Predictions.translateText(text)
  Log.i("MyAmplifyApp", result.translatedText)
} catch (error: PredictionsException) {
  Log.e("MyAmplifyApp", "Translation failed", error)
}
```

</Block>
<Block name="RxJava">

Open `MainActivity.java` and add the following to the bottom of `onCreate()`:

```java
RxAmplify.Predictions.translateText("I like to eat spaghetti")
  .subscribe(
    result -> Log.i("MyAmplifyApp", result.getTranslatedText()),
    error -> Log.e("MyAmplifyApp", "Translation failed", error)
  );
```

</Block>
</BlockSwitcher>

As a result of running this code, you will see the translated text printed to the console.

```console
I/MyAmplifyApp: Mi piace mangiare gli spaghetti
