# Photo Album Example

Disclaimer: This is not an official Google product.

This is an example application demonstrating how Vision API and Translation
 API can be used to create a photo album application which automatically add
 appropriate tags to uploaded photos with various languages.

## Products
- [App Engine][1]

## Language
- [Python][2]

## APIs
- [Cloud Vision API][5]
- [Cloud Translation API][6]

## Prerequisites
1. A Google Cloud Platform Account
2. [A new Google Cloud Platform Project][7] for this lab with billing enabled
 (You can choose the region for App Engine deployment with advanced options.)

## Do this first
In this section you will start your [Google Cloud Shell][9] and clone the
 application code repository to it.

1. [Open the Cloud Console][10]

2. Click the Google Cloud Shell icon in the top-right and wait for your shell
 to open:

3. Set project ID in the session. (Specify your project ID in `[PROJECT_ID]` below.)

  ```shell
  $ gcloud config set project [PROJECT_ID]
  ```

4. Enable the Cloud Vision API and Cloud Translation API.

  ```shell
  $ gcloud services enable vision.googleapis.com translate.googleapis.com
  ```

5. Clone the lab repository in your cloud shell, then `cd` into that dir:

  ```shell
  $ git clone https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/appengine-photoalbum-example.git
  Cloning into 'appengine-photoalbum-example'...
  ...

  $ cd appengine-photoalbum-example
  ```

## Customize the language used for tag names

Open `app.yaml` with a text editor and replace the language code to your
 favorite one from the [supported languages][11].

You can replace the timezone code used for timestamps, too.

```yaml
env_variables:
  TAG_LANG: 'ja'              <-- change to your favorite language code.
  TIMESTAMP_TZ: 'Asia/Tokyo'  <-- change to your favorite timezone code.
```

## Deploy the application

```shell
$ gcloud app create
$ gcloud datastore indexes create index.yaml
$ gcloud app deploy
```

By executing these commands on the Cloud Shell, the project id is automatically
 applied to the application and the application URL will be something like:
 `https://<project id>.appspot.com`.

You can see Datastore's index creation status from the Cloud Console. Once
 indexes have been created successfully, you can start using the application.

## Clean up
Clean up is really easy, but also super important: if you don't follow these
 instructions, you will continue to be billed for the project you created.

To clean up, navigate to the [Google Developers Console Project List][12],
 choose the project you created for this lab, and delete it. That's it.
