Translate easily with JavaScript and the Google language API
wow, google recently released an API for their translation services called Google language API. Thats a good news but it even gets better! The api is really easy to use and applications can be boosted within minutes. The reference can be found here
Here is a quick example of how to translate something...
JAVASCRIPT:
-
google.language.translate('my mum is swimming', 'en', 'de', function(result) {
-
alert(result.translation);
-
});
and it gets better and even easier: its possible to let the API detect the language .. so nothing you have to take care about anymore.
JAVASCRIPT:
-
google.language.detect('Deutsch ist auch eine Sprache',
-
function(result) {
-
alert(result.language);
-
});

Now its time to come up with some nice little tools, widgets which use this service. "a user selects a paragraph an your page, clicks a button and suddenly the text is translated into the desired language".
