Hello Friends,
I found a hack to use Google Translator services.
As I was working on my scrapper project, category titles were needed to translated from Dutch to English and we do not wanted to use any paid service.
I have tracked the requests made From translate.google.com and gathered them, then fetched responses from my curl function which I have Posted before .
below is the final code. It is working perfectly. Please let the page loaded for proper source code view.

Copy this code in php file and hit it.
You will need to enable curl for this code to work.
Currently It supports Three translations
1)Hindi To English 2)English To Hindi 3) Dutch To English
If you want to add more translations Follow the steps below
1) Go to http://translate.google.com/ by Mozilla Firefox
2) open firebug and type any thing them copy the URL of Ajax request made by the browser.
3) Place it in the translate function with proper condition and replace &text parameter in the url with $word variable.
Let me know if it is helpful or give your valuable suggestions.
And Please don’t tell this to Google Ha ha …….
AS per rob’s suggestion I am placing the updated translate function to support all kind of languages supported by Google. I have not tested it but hope it works fine

function Translate($word,$conversion = 'hi_to_en'){$word = urlencode($word);$arr_langs = explode(‘_to_’, $conversion); $url = “http://translate.google.com/translate_a/t?client=t&text=$word&hl=".$arr_langs[1]."&sl=".$arr_langs[0]."&tl=".$arr_langs[1]."&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&multires=1&otf=1&pc=1&trs=1&ssel=3&tsel=6&sc=1″;$name_en = curl($url);$name_en = explode('"',$name_en);return $name_en[1];} |

I was in character encoding hell with this for a while until I spotted an alternate URL in the comments. My browser is set to default UTF-8. Works better with …&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&multires…
You may see what I mean if you use one of the muli-sentence variants using source:
Your dog ate my cat. How come? What the hell!
Try translating from en to es.
Hi mate,
I have a “fatal error: Call to undefined function curl_init() on line 11″… Do you have any idea why it doesn’t work for me…?
Thx…;-)
curl is disable in your server … google “enable curl in php”
Sorry, I’m stupid… I should UTFG next time;-) Works fine now…The only problem seems to be with a character limit (already mentioned above by Guilherme Cunha etc.)… Have you dealt with it…?
