• Detect languages

    $client = new \Virtunus\Translator\TranslationClient();
    $langs = $client->detectLanguages('May Allah bless you', 'project-id');

If you do not want to pass the project-id again and again then you should set the GOOGLE_PROJECT_ID environment varable in .env file of your project.
