Hello,
Does anyone have any previous experience with the google translation api?

some examples there in c# and other languages.
Thanks a lot.

I think you can use CURL.

Thanks Rathi
Yes you can use CURL for sure. I ended up using a simple HTTP request:
Code: Select all
https://www.googleapis.com/language/translate/v2?key=ΧΧΧΧΧΧΧΧΧΧΧΧΧ&source=el&target=en&q=καλημερα
you just need to replace the XXXXXXXXXXXX with you api key you get from google.
google sends back a response in json format which you can either decode it or just manipulate it as a string.
The only difference from the "simple" google translate is that using the API version you get unlimited translations while the normal version has a limit. I tried doing for example 100 translations in a row and my ip was getting banned from google, thats why we had to resolve to the api cloud version.
Anyway it works just fine i am just putting it here in case anyone might need to try it.
PS: the api cloud translation from google is a paid service.
