Google Translate API - English subscripts to translated script

I am trying to convert English to Hindi via Google's API but I also need the English translation of the Hindi string.

To illustrate, if I convert

"a quick brown fox...."

to Hindi , it reads

"फुर्तीली भूरी लोमड़ी आलसी कुत्ते के उपर से कूद गई।"

But if you look at the web interface, Google also translates the Hindi version as

"phurtilee bhoori lomdi ..".

This doesn't show up in the response format of Translate API. I tried searching all their docs but this is all I got https://cloud.google.com/translate/docs/reference/translate#translatetextresponsetranslation and it just has a translated text in the response.

Google Translation API does not currently offer phonetic translation, despite being available in the web interface.

You can file a request for that feature to be included in the API by following the procedure explained in this forum where your same question is made.
