Does someone know an Open API for translation from the client-side?

Does someone know an Open API for translation from the client-side?

Here is a Nodejs package I found - https://www.npmjs.com/package/google-translate-api-v2

but it can't be used in react...

Is there a way I can use that package or any different one you familiar with that I can use?

Thanks!!

    If I remember correctly, the official Google Translate API is paid, meaning you need to authenticate against it using your secret token which will then also make sure the requests are billed to you. As such, you cannot use that API from the client side, or else there's nothing to prevent people from stealing your token and calling the API with your billing account.
