Contributions summary:Levan primarily contributed to the development of a PHP package for Google Translate. They started by creating the core `GoogleTranslate.php` class and added functionalities like setting languages and implementing the `makeCurl` and `translate` methods. Further contributions involved adding PHPDoc comments and refining the class with static method calls, multiple sentence support, and optimized `sys_get_temp_dir()` usage. Subsequent changes included Composer support and refactoring the code to use Guzzle for HTTP requests, along with implementing exceptions and improving token handling.
