# → {"outClientId":"<client-id>","session_id":"<session-id>"}
- Use the returned
client-id and session-id in all subsequent commands:
robomotion googletranslate translate --client-id "<client-id>" --text <text> --target-language <lang> --session-id "<session-id>" --output json
- Disconnect when done:
robomotion googletranslate disconnect --client-id "<client-id>" --session-id "<session-id>" --output json
