Hi Team,
I’m working with cloud translation API, specifically the batchTranslate method.
This method takes the input from a .txt file in GCS and creates corresponding .txt file containing the translations.
Now my query is: Is there a possibility that the .txt file created as a response of batchTranslate API call, contains any vulnerability or can I trust google generated file to be free of any vulnerability?
Hi ashish-a-saxena,
Welcome to the Google Cloud Community!
The batchTranslateText method of the Google Cloud Translation API is designed to process large volumes of text asynchronously and output translated files to a specified Cloud Storage location. Currently, there are no known vulnerabilities specifically associated with the output files generated by this method. While you can trust that Google provides a secure service, you cannot assume the content of the files it generates is inherently safe for all purposes. The output reflects the input. Therefore, a security-conscious approach involves treating the translated text from the batchTranslate method as you would any other user-generated or external content: trust, but verify. Implement robust input validation, as well as output encoding and sanitization routines, appropriate for the context in which the translated text will be used.
Additionally, For more detailed information on Cloud Translation and Batch Requests, you can check out this documentation.
