Run your command with the -p option and you will notice that it gets three pages in a new subdirectory names www.google.com. (If not, try adding -e "robots=off"; I always run with that option).
Once you have that, look at the file that starts with translate_p and you will notice that it is downloading the results from somewhere other than www.google.com. When I tried it, it pointed to http://74.125.19.147, which wget won't follow when you're download www.google.com. There may be a way to grab that page, but it was obvious to me after a few minutes of trying.

Initially wget failed without a UserAgent string, but I fixed that: wget -U "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.0.5) Gecko/2008120122 Firefox/3.0.5" "http://www.google.com/translate?u=<URL_TO_TRANSLATE>&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&sl=en&t l=pt" Now I need to figure out how to save the actual translated text that is in the lower frame. Any ideas? The mirror option doesn't get it. _______________________________ Kurt Schroeder ksch...@us.ibm.com 664-3 C115 (507) 286-6177 My New Year's Resolution is 1024 pixels by 768 pixels.
