Hi, I asked similar question before. Please see thread: http://groups.google.com/group/Google-AJAX-Search-API/browse_thread/thread/868231b9f712f1d4/f456614b384592e5#f456614b384592e5 http://groups.google.com/group/Google-AJAX-Search-API/browse_thread/thread/871da6bb9038b63b#
I think the best solution is Balazs Endresz's jQuery translation plug- in. This plug-in has these advantages: 1.Less coding. (see the sample code) 2.no limit for text length. 3.To be translated text is extracted from HTML and concatenated.And, less API requests are needed. Looks like Balazs has done substantial work to solve this issue. here is a minimalism sample: ( You can download sample code from http://code.google.com/p/djangopollsgae/downloads/list ) <html> <head> <p> Please download jquery[1].translate-1.2.4.min.js from http://code.google.com/p/jquery-translate/ jquery-1[1].2.6.min.js from http://jquery.com/ . Maybe the *.js files have been updated. Please change *.js file names accordinglly. </p> <script type="text/javascript" src="jquery-1[1].2.6.min.js"></ script> <script type="text/javascript" src="jquery [1].translate-1.2.4.min.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript"> function startTranslation(){ $('p').translate( 'en', 'es') } </script> </head> <body> <p id="textToTranslate">WASHINGTON, Nov 14 (Reuters) - Sales at U.S. retailers suffered a record decline in October as fears of recession sapped spending, but part of the drop was due to slumping gasoline prices, which helped buoy consumer confidence this month. The Commerce Department said on Friday that retail sales slumped 2.8 percent in October to a seasonally adjusted $363.7 billion, the largest decline since the department's current methodology was adopted in 1992, as mounting unemployment hit shoppers' appetites. </p> <input type="button" onclick="startTranslation();" value="Translate "/> </body> </html> Thanks, Chef Free Immigration Guide http://visachoice.appspot.com On Dec 2, 11:10 am, Jeremy Geerdes <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > By the way, you can find resources to access the Language API in this > manner by checking out the link below: > > http://code.google.com/apis/ajaxlanguage/documentation/reference.html... > > Jeremy R.
