Cara membuat Aplikasi terjemah menggunakan MIT APP INVENTOR

Introduction

In this tutorial, you will learn how to create a translation application using MIT App Inventor. This project is ideal for beginners who want to develop their app-building skills while incorporating language translation features. By the end of this guide, you will have a functional app that can translate text between different languages.

Step 1: Set Up Your MIT App Inventor Account

• Go to the MIT App Inventor website.
• Click on "Create Apps!" to start the registration process.
• Sign in using your Google account.
• After signing in, you will be directed to the App Inventor dashboard.

Step 2: Start a New Project

• Click on "Projects" in the menu.
• Select "Start new project."
• Name your project (e.g., "TranslationApp") and click "OK."

Step 3: Design the User Interface

• Drag and drop the following components from the Palette:

  • Label: For the app title.
  • TextBox: For user input (text to translate).
  • Button: To initiate the translation process.
  • Label: To display the translated text.

• Arrange the components on the screen to make the interface user-friendly.

• Set properties for each component:

  • Change the text of the first Label to "Translation App."
  • Set the hint for the TextBox to "Enter text here."
  • Change the Button text to "Translate."
  • Leave the second Label text blank for displaying the translation.

Step 4: Add Logic with Blocks

• Click on the "Blocks" button to switch to the programming interface.

Create the following logic

When the "Translate" Button is clicked

• Get the text from the TextBox.
• Use an API (like Google Translate API) to translate the text.
• Set the second Label to display the translated text.

Example Code for API Call

when Button1.Click do
  set Label2.Text to call Web1.GetText

Step 5: Incorporate the Translation API

• Use a Web component to connect to the translation API.
• Set the URL of the Web component to the API endpoint.
• Ensure you handle the response properly to extract the translated text.

Step 6: Test Your Application

• Click on the "Connect" option in the MIT App Inventor to test your app on a connected device or emulator.
• Enter text into the TextBox and click the Translate Button.
• Verify that the translated text appears in the second Label.

Step 7: Finalize and Export Your App

• Make any necessary adjustments to improve the app’s functionality or user interface.
• Once satisfied, go to "Build" in the menu and select "App (provide QR code for .apk)." This will allow you to download the app and test it on your mobile device.

Conclusion

You've successfully created a translation application using MIT App Inventor! You now have a basic understanding of building apps and working with APIs. Next steps could include adding more features, such as language selection or voice input. Keep experimenting and enhancing your app-building skills!
