how to include "google-api-translate.jar" file into my java project.
My java project can't run because "package com.google.api.translate" 
doesnot exist.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Choose from and to languages that do not form a valid language pair,
like Dutch to French, so that Translate will use English as the
intermediate language.
2. Pick a word that can be translated from Dutch to English, but not from
English to French.
3. Watch the result be the English translation.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The expected output in this case is to return the dutch word itself, which
seems to be the normal response to an unknown word. In stead you get the
English translation.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
0.28

Please provide any additional information below.
I'm using the api to translate single words from Dutch to the users native
lannguage.

Thanks so much for this API, I love the simplicity of it.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Take the demo code on the site and replace Bonjour le monde with 'Japan'
2. change the original language to ENGLISH and the Target language to Japanese
3. compile and run

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I'd expext to see 'nihon' in kanji, but I get this:
Server returned HTTP response code: 400 for URL:
http://translate.google.com/translate_t?langpair=en|jp&text=Japan

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
google-api-translate-java-0.22.jar on Windows XP (Japanese)

Please provide any additional information below.
I get this for even the simplest of words. The same tests with Engish,
Spanish, and French seem to work. I also tested with several basic words
and phrases in both directions with the same results.

CROATIAN has abbreviation 'hr', not 'cr'. 
FINNISH is missing in 'validLanguages' variable

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Run the sample program in a loop to simulate bulk translations.
2.
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expected: An infinite number of translations
Actual Result: 
java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException: String index out of range: -1
        at java.lang.String.substring(Unknown Source)
        at java.lang.String.substring(Unknown Source)
        at com.google.api.translate.Translate.translate(Translate.java:44)
        at Test.main(Test.java:7)

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
google-api-translate-java-0.23.jar on Windows XP and Linux (OS doesn't matter)

Please provide any additional information below.
The problem is that after a large number of requests, Google's web site
freaks out and you get a "403 Forbidden" page which says:

"We're sorry...

... but your query looks similar to automated requests from a computer
virus or spyware application. To protect our users, we can't process your
request right now.

We'll restore your access as quickly as possible, so try again soon. In the
meantime, if you suspect that your computer or network has been infected,
you might want to run a virus checker or spyware remover to make sure that
your systems are free of viruses and other spurious software.

We apologize for the inconvenience, and hope we'll see you again on Google."

I can enter the captcha code and resume, but since it seems to set a cookie
in my browser, my automated translator is broken until Google's web servers
"trust" my IP address again.

this is the code use to tranlate from one language to another when the
combination is not soported.
for example, if I need to translate "from Spanish to Japanese"
this code will first try to do it directly, and when it gets an
exception,will first try to use na intermediate 
language (usually english which is the
most supported) and after trying with the intermediate language will try
with Japanese.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. None needed

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expose the validLanguagePairs method in the Language class as a public
method 'List<String> getValidLanguagePairs()' so the list can be used to
populate drop down list boxes in an UI application.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
0.26

Hello Rich!

This is not bug report. It is improvement proposal. Your project looks 
good...

You use standard web form address to get translation. You build request, 
send it and after all you have to mine translation(s) from the web site 
source code. 

Why not to use servise, which is prepared primarily for AJAX API but is 
applicable also for other languages. See 
http://code.google.com/apis/ajaxlanguage/documentation/#fonje 
for details.

It could solve the problem with blocking for to much requests. Maybe.

Great stuff - many thanks!

Would it be possible to support html source in addtion to text? I saw
google's ajax translation api is supporting html source translation and
seems to me a java verion would be really great!

Best regards,

Qunhuan Mei

Hi, I´m a developer of web and desktop applications, my speciality is Java 
and .Net and I want traslate your java code to .Net Code and thus 
contribute with this great iniciative.

Im from Spain and not speak very well english, what do you think about my 
suggest?

My email is [email protected]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Not able to Translate to English to Arabic Using googles Unofficial API

Expect translated text, get translated text preceded by a right angle

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

0.26



Please provide any additional information below.

Instead of expecting the result to be an exact number of characters from 
the tag string, search for the first right angle bracket.

Lead up:
1. Importing api into project in Eclipse
2. Calling Translate.translate() with appropriate methods:

japanese = Translate.translate(english, Language.ENGLISH,
                    Language.JAPANESE);

Hi Rich,

First of all ,thanks a lot for your wonderful and useful api !

I attached some support for buffer translation 
( I think that it is up to 15K chars , and in my code I loop if it is 
bigger than that ... )

And again - thanks a lot !
Zac .

Hi.

I get a "Bad version number" error. Probably you've compiled the classes
with Java 6, and I work with Java 5.

¿Do you have .class files with Java5 compliance level? ¿Or can you send me
the source code so I can compile it?

Thank you. 

Mi e-mail: [email protected]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Developed a Java program using this API for Convertion. 
2. The program is working fine but gives error when converting English to 
Chinese. I am getting  a '?' when trying to convert 'hello' to Chinese
Attached is my Java file (Tranlator.java). 


What is the expected output? What do you see instead?


What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
google-api-translate-java-0[1].4.jar on Windows XP. I have installed the 
East Asian Package of the Windows and i am able to view the correct 
translation of Chinese in browser.

Please provide any additional information below.

The API currently provides a list of valid languages, but this list is only
provided as a set of abbreviations. It might be nice if there was a way
convert these abbreviations to their full names, e.g. "en" -> "English,
"de" -> "German", etc. 

A facility like this would make it easier for clients of the library to
upgrade (i.e. as new languages are added) since they wouldn't need to keep
their own abbreviation-to-name mapping up-to-date.

粗粗看了你的代码一下，觉得如下问题不做解决可能会影响��

i don't care if you change my GPL3 for GPL2

but please add my name to the source code

i work in new enhacement

I have used the google-api-translate-java for translation.
In eclipse i have created a java project added the jar file to my project
and tested the example u have given .

This is my code :

import com.google.api.translate.Language;
import com.google.api.translate.Translate;

public class TranslatorDemo 
{
     public static void main(String[] args) 
     {
            try 
            {
              String translatedText = Translate.translate("Salut le monde",
Language.FRENCH, Language.ENGLISH);
              System.out.println(translatedText);
            } 
            catch (Exception ex) 
            {
              ex.printStackTrace();

Hi,
I have a problem with our company proxy server that filtrate all HTTP
request. For that reason I change you Translate class to work with proxy.
I add only one overload to method translate(String text, String from,
String to,Proxy proxy) and change HTTP request method retrieveTranslation().

Could you add this proxy support to next API version?
Thanks,
       Plamen Ivanov

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Translate the word "ok" from English to French using the API

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expect to get "d'accord" but I get "d'accord".

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
This is with the head of the SVN tree

I ran this under a debugger to verify that it was a problem with the API 
and not my program. The string coming out of the translate call has the bad 
text in it.

It looked like older encoding related issues in your system were supposed 
to be fixed, so I created a new ticket...sorry if this is a repeat.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. System.out.println(Language.validLanguages);
2.
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
[ar, zh, zh-CN, zh-TW, en, fr, de, it, ja, ko, pt, ru, es]
When we see all languages we can use, it shows us 15 languages, but when we
run "Language.validLanguages" it only appears 13 languages (above).

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
0.30.
Windows XP

Please provide any additional information below.

 The ajax based translator is supporting more languages than what is
supported by java based translator. We have a typical situation to convert
our business dictionary to many other languages.
google-api-translate-java-0.4 library is very much helpful to us. So we
would like to see this distribution supporting many other languages
(atleast that are supported by ajax based tool). Thanks in advance.

Hello Rich!

This is not bug report. It is improvement proposal. Your project looks 
good...

You use standard web form address to get translation. You build request, 
send it and after all you have to mine translation(s) from the web site 
source code. 

Why not to use servise, which is prepared primarily for AJAX API but is 
applicable also for other languages. See 
http://code.google.com/apis/ajaxlanguage/documentation/#fonje 
for details.

It could solve the problem with blocking for to much requests. Maybe.

I changed Language class to enum. I think this is better because in
Translate class I removed language validation (lines 71 to 73) because now
validation is on compiler scope. Javac check that user use correct
languages names. Now they has only limited languages list not a
unrestricted String.
I attach new version of Language and Translate files.

I interested in make more changes and re factorize code. 
pls contact with me via email.

HI,

The jar is simply excellent. Its perfectly working for HINDI. My
requirement is to have TELUGU option also and unfortunately it seems the
current jar google-api-translate-java-0.53.jar is not supporting it.

Can you please advice what i have to do for this?

Thank you very much in advance.

Please provide any additional information below.
I suggest you close streams like below in order to avoid memory leaks.

    HttpURLConnection connection = (HttpURLConnection)new
URL(url.toString()).openConnection();
    InputStream in = connection.getInputStream();
    try {
      connection.setRequestProperty("User-Agent", "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible;
MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 5.1)");

      String page = toString(in);
      int resultBox = page.indexOf("<div id=result_box dir=");

      if (resultBox < 0) {
        throw new Error("No translation result returned.");
      }

      String start = page.substring(resultBox);
      return start.substring(27, start.indexOf("</div>"));
    } finally {
      // http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/guide/net/http-keepalive.html
      in.close();

      InputStream error = connection.getErrorStream();
      if (error != null) {
        error.close();
      }
    }

At google maps api you find several times the message that when you use 
tranlate with google maps that after translation you don't get the map 
anymore because you have a wrong key!

Is this a known error here and is it ubder construction or is there a 
bypass or is there already a solution?

Any suggestions?

Hi,

I would like to know if there is a reason to have choosen the String 
values of languages not matching a "Locale.toString()" ??

I m thinking mainly about Language.CHINESE_SIMPLIFIED (zh-CN) and 
Locale.SIMPLIFIED_CHINESE (zh_CN)

An helper method on Language class could do the job ?

Notices that some other new languages have been added to the Translate 
facility, most specifically Thai, many thanks Google.

New languages support was added to the API in September... can the 
languages added after this date also be added.. 

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. goto http://code.google.com/p/google-api-translate-java 
2. create a test class from Quickstart
3. Run test

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

The expected result was a translation of "Salut le monde" from French to
English
Instead we received  java.lang.Error: No translation result returned.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
We are using version 0.5 on XP platform


Please provide any additional information below.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. when i add library to my j2me project
2.
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Error preverifying class com.json.JOSNOBJECT

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
netbean6.5 and windows server 2003

Please provide any additional information below.

Hello, can you add Turkish please

What steps will reproduce the problem?
After few days of normal processing, the translation doesn't return 
results at every time in the server. In my developer environment the api 
works good.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Te service ran succesfully but, apparently, after 2-3 days of operation, 
the translation always returns 0 results. It seems as if my IP address had 
been freaked or banned from Google due too many calls to the service.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
google-api-translate-java-0.27 over Linux ubuntu with apache-tomcat 5.5.23

Is possible to get a more powerfull license, even with cost, that allow me 
to use the translation service according to my needs.

Thank you very much in advance

Hi,

I understand that the .Net API includes all the available languages.

Could this be possible for this project.

Currently many errors, eg. IOExceptions and MalformedURLExceptions are just
thrown from the translate method.

Many of these should throw simple errors that provide a facade - users
can't do anything if the format of Google Translate URLs change nor do they
need to know what line of our code the error occurred on.

A logging API is probably worth investigating as long as it doesn't add
dependencies.

I get garbage characters in the translated text because of bad character
decoding (I'm using a Mac, the default encoding on my system isn't UTF-8)

The solution to this is to explicitly configure the input stream reader to
use UTF-8 as character encoding:

new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(inputStream, "UTF-8"));

[deleted issue]

If you look at the API usage Terms and Conditions at a minimum Google
translate requires a "Referer" in the header or an API Key. There is
currently no way to pass in this information.

A method to set the "Referer" and/or "API Key" is required and this must be
passed to Google in the request.
