We appreciate your feedback and always strive to improve our service to meet your expectations. If you have any questions or feedback regarding this new feature or any other aspect of our service, please do not hesitate to contact us. We are always here to help you.

Thank you for choosing the Fast Translator API service.

FYI I created a filter function for this which is required to use this api

const hasBIRegex = new RegExp(’</?(?:b|i)(?😦?: [^<>]*)>|>?)’, ‘i’)
const hasHtml = (text) => typeof text === ‘string’ && text.match(hasBIRegex) !== null

const isIRegex = new RegExp(/<i.?></i>/, ‘gi’)
// this endpoint sends back original in italics and output in bold for some reason, as a result we fix it by removing italics text and removing bold tags
const rapidApiOneFormatting = (text) => {
if (hasHtml(text)) {
let txt = text

// an extra space is added between italic closing and new bold for no reason, remove it
txt = txt.replace(/<\/i>\s+<b>/g, '</i><b>')
const removeMatches = text.match(isIRegex)
removeMatches.forEach((match) => {
  // removing matching strings
  txt = txt.replace(match, '')
})

// remove b and i html tags
txt = txt.replace(/<\/?[bi]>/g, '')

return txt

} else {
return text
}
}

the funny thing is, rapid api, an API PLATFORM doesn’t support code in comments, so the above looks a little off in the regex parts
