Deprecated use of substr in googleTranslate.ts

[jpulattie]

There is a deprecated use of substr() in /apps/meteor/app/autotranslate/server/googleTranslate.ts that I found while doing a code review for a college class.

It isn't necessarily a bug or vulnerability in the code, not a new feature, but perhaps a code improvement.

The use of substr is in line 134 and 181, which I believe would be easily updated to slice(). I would volunteer to update this if the maintainers would like this to be updated.

I think this is you.

I will refer this to the team but it will probably be handled internally. Someone will let you know.

Is anyone currently working on this issue? If not, may I take it?

Actually, the use of substr() is in various other files too, so I think we should replace it everywhere else too.
Edit: Referenced in PR #34120
