Automate translation for personal use
Or go to MicrosoftTranslator.com, and paste your text in one box, have it translate and cut and paste the result?
Failing that, the MS Translator API can be used for up to 2 million characters a month for free...so maybe use that?
I would like to translate a few hundred words for an application I'm writing. This is a simple, one-off project, so I'm not willing to pay for the the google translate API.
Is there another web service which will do this?
Another idea is to just send a search to Google, and scrape the result from the first result. For example, google 'translate food to spanish'.
However, the page is a mess of obfuscated javascript, and I would need help scraping the result.
I think python would be good for this, but any language will do.
