Translator: destroy() method

Limited availability Secure context

The destroy() method of the Translator interface releases the resources assigned to the Translator instance it is called on and stops any further activity on it. This means that any ongoing and subsequent method calls made on the Translator will reject with an AbortError.

It makes sense to destroy Translator objects if they are no longer being used, as they tie up significant resources in their handling.

Syntax

destroy()

Parameters

None.

Return value

None (undefined).

Examples

Basic `destroy()` usage

const translator = await Translator.create({
  sourceLanguage: "en",
  targetLanguage: "ja",
});

// ...

translator.destroy();
