for a html select
each <option> would be coded the same as <A> above, changing the language pair &lp= and of course altering the title prompt

most people use a translator

I want to translate whole page..text ...not redirect page to translator...

I want to translate whole page..text ...not redirect page to translator...

You dont already have a frame breaker in your <head> ?

<script language='Javascript' type='text/javascript'>
<!-- 
if (top.location != self.location) { top.location = self.location.href }
//--> 
</script>

Hi,
I added frame breaker.
and execute code by selecting option value.
It translate page to selected language

But problem is it translates my all options name also. i.e. language name which is in drop down list.

How to solve this??

I modified my code instead of drop down i used images

How to rewrite url or solve this??
How to do this??

keep dropdpwn names written in the target language.
Francais
Espanol
deutsch
suomi
with the greves & cedillas carets etc
They are not words in the source of the language pair so are skipped in translation, the labels dont change.

If you examine the sample link title text and innerHtml both are written in the the target language, so the labels do not alter.
a user looking for a german translation of your site for readability, expects to see 'deutsch', not allemande german njemački německy

google translate Babelfish, already offer their sites localized, so all language pairs are available to all persons pretty much in their own language.

$_SERVER is the url requesting the page, if the translator is working it is the translator.
the original was PHP_SELF which works
If you change something and it ceases to work, then the change is the fault

Hi almostbob,
can you explain this
with the greves & cedillas carets etc ??

Also to consider is the google AJAX language API.

It offers translation of a block of text to different languages through a JavaScript API, or through a REST interface.

Here's documentation:
http://code.google.com/apis/ajaxlanguage/documentation/

If you want to use PHP, you can use the REST interface. The response format is JSON.

eg:
http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/services/language/translate?v=1.0&q=hello%20world&langpair=en|it

With PHP, to achieve the same:

<?php

$text = 'hello world';
$response = file_get_contents('http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/services/language/translate?v=1.0&q='.urlencode($text).'&langpair=en|it';

?>

The response looks like:

{"responseData": {"translatedText":"ciao mondo"}, "responseDetails": null, "responseStatus": 200}

So you need a JSON parser to convert this to PHP objects, and get the "translatesdText".

PHP5 supports JSON natively. With PHP4 you can compile PHP with the JSON extension: http://pecl.php.net/package/json (which is now used in PHP5)
You can also use JSON libs written in PHP such as:
http://pear.php.net/pepr/pepr-proposal-show.php?id=198
Here is a comparison:
http://gggeek.altervista.org/sw/article_20061113.html

You could also use regex to parse the JSON response.

A very simple example:

<?php

$text = 'hello world';
$response = file_get_contents('http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/services/language/translate?v=1.0&q='.urlencode($text).'&langpair=en|it';

if (preg_match("/{\"translatedText\":\"(.*?)\"}/i", $response, $matches)) {
$text = $matches[1];
} else {
// error occurred
}

?>

Thought I'd write a PHP implementation of the Google Language API.

How to do like this??

With the google api you'll need to translate pieces of text from your site. You can't really translate the whole page at once.

If the content of your site is taken from a database, you can translate the content from the database before display.
It may even be good to save the translation locally.

OSCommerce works exactly in this way, but manually. There are multiple translations of their content in the database. Even menu items have different translations.

This is similar to how the Joomla CMS, Drupal CMS, etc. handle translations also, but like OSCommerce they are manual translations.

So if you have the code that retrieves the contents for your website, you can just plug in the code to translate that content there, depending on the chosen language.

In my page there is no data coming from database...

http://translate.google.com/translate_t?hl=en#

you can directly enter Url In Text or web tab

web page url=http://www.daniweb.com/forums/thread168756-2.html
It translates whole page....
And in Url shows link like...

http://translate.google.com/translate?prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.daniweb.com%2Fforums%2Fthread168756-2.html&sl=en&tl=nl&history_state0=

Then the method suggested earlier with babelfish would probably be a better solution for you.

The other obvious option would be to manually do translations and same them as separate pages.

Hi Sir,
i am also going to work with Language Translator...
i too dont have any idea..
the above solutions...i didnt get it..

plz help me...from starting

I answered a simular question on phpfreaks.com about embedding the google translator into your website and the script I came up with is as follows:

<?php
function translate($sentence,$languagefrom,$languageto)
{
$homepage = file_get_contents('http://translate.google.com/translate_t');
if ($homepage==false) {$homepage='';}
preg_match_all("/<form[^>]+ction=\"\/translate_t\".*<\/form>/",$homepage,$botmatch);
$botmatch[0][0]=preg_replace("/<\/form>.*/",'',$botmatch[0][0]);
preg_match_all("/<input[^>]+>/",$botmatch[0][0],$botinput);
$id=0;
while (isset($botinput[0][$id]))
	{
	preg_match_all("/value=(\"|'|[^\"'])[^\"']+(\"|'|[^\"'])?( |>|	)/",$botinput[0][$id],$tmp);
	$tmp[0][0]=preg_replace('/((\'|")?[^\'"]+)/','$1',$tmp[0][0]);
	$tmp[0][0]=preg_replace('/(\'|")/','',$tmp[0][0]);
	$tmp[0][0]=preg_replace('/.*value=/i','',$tmp[0][0]);
	$len=strlen($tmp[0][0]);
	$len-=1;
	$tmp[0][0]=substr($tmp[0][0],0,$len);
	
	preg_match_all("/name=(\"|'|[^\"'])[^\"']+(\"|'|[^\"'])?( |>|	)/",$botinput[0][$id],$tmpname);
	$tmpname[0][0]=preg_replace('/((\'|")?[^\'"]+)/','$1',$tmpname[0][0]);
	$tmpname[0][0]=preg_replace('/(\'|")/','',$tmpname[0][0]);
	$tmpname[0][0]=preg_replace('/.*name=/i','',$tmpname[0][0]);
	$len=strlen($tmpname[0][0]);
	$len-=1;
	$tmpname[0][0]=substr($tmpname[0][0],0,$len);
	
	if (strlen($tmpname[0][0])>0 && !in_array($tmpname[0][0],array('text','sl','tl')))
		{
		$vars.=$tmpname[0][0]."=".$tmp[0][0].'&';
		}
	unset($tmp);
	unset($tmpname);
	$id+=1;
}
$curl_handle=curl_init('http://translate.google.com/translate_t');
curl_setopt($curl_handle, CURLOPT_HEADER, true);
curl_setopt($curl_handle, CURLOPT_FAILONERROR, true);
curl_setopt($curl_handle, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, Array("User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.15) Gecko/20080623 Firefox/2.0.0.15") ); // request as if Firefox   
curl_setopt($curl_handle, CURLOPT_POST, true);
curl_setopt($curl_handle, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $vars.'text='.$sentence.'&sl='.$languagefrom.'&tl='.$languageto);
curl_setopt($curl_handle, CURLOPT_NOBODY, false);
curl_setopt($curl_handle,CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT,false);
curl_setopt($curl_handle,CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER,1);
$buffer = curl_exec($curl_handle);
curl_close($curl_handle);

$buffer=strip_tags($buffer,'<div>');
preg_match_all("/\<div id\=result_box dir\=\"[^\"]+\"\>[^<]+\<\/div\>/",$buffer,$match);
$match[0][0]=strip_tags($match[0][0]);
return $match[0][0];
}


//now to use the translate function
echo translate('This is the text','en','iw');
?>

And of course another option is you can also convert the ajax function to a php function like the member Daniel0 on phpfreaks did and is as follows:

<?php
function translate($textSource, $langSource, $langTarget)
{
	$ch = curl_init();
	curl_setopt_array($ch, array(
		CURLOPT_URL => 'http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/services/language/translate?v=1.0&q=' . urlencode($textSource) . '&langpair=' . urlencode($langSource . '|' . $langTarget),
		CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => true
	));
	
	$ret = json_decode(curl_exec($ch), true);
	curl_close($ch);
	
	if ($ret['responseStatus'] != '200') {
		throw Exception('Translation failed.');
	}
	
	return $ret['responseData']['translatedText'];
}

echo translate('this is the text', 'es', 'en');
?>

Also to help understand how to use the functions above (both scripts are used the same way) is by entering the text to be translated in the first field. The language from in the second field. And the language to in the third field. REMEMBER: Languages inputed into the second and third field must be abbreviated and the abbreviations are as follows:

ar = Arabic
bg = Bulgarian
ca = Catalan
zh-CN = Chinese
hr = Croatian
cs = Czech
da = Danish
nl = Dutch
en = English
tl = Filipino
fi = Finnish
fr = French
de = German
el = Greek
iw = Hebrew
hi = Hindi
id = Indonesian
it = Italian
ja = Japanese
ko = Korean
lv = Latvian
lt = Lithuanian
no = Norwegian
pl = Polish
pt = Portuguese
ro = Romanian
ru = Russian
sr = Serbian
sk = Slovak
sl = Slovenian
es = Spanish
sv = Swedish
uk = Ukrainian
vi = Vietnamese

And to translate the entire page, perhaps you can submit through the translator script every string you have on the page. Hope that helps.

I shall post a page with the translator fully embeded and you can select from the menu what language you want. However this requires a $_GET variable in the url bar when not viewing english pages. The only other alternative to not having the $_GET variable in the url bar is to use sessions. Anyway below is a fully setup example that you can use.

<?php
function translate($textSource, $langSource, $langTarget='')
{
$textSource=explode('<>',$textSource);
if ($langTarget=='') {$langTarget='en';}
$idz=0;
while (isset($textSource[$idz]))
	{
	$ch = curl_init();
	curl_setopt_array($ch, array(
		CURLOPT_URL => 'http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/services/language/translate?v=1.0&q=' . urlencode($textSource[$idz]) . '&langpair=' . urlencode($langSource . '|' . $langTarget),
		CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => true
	));
	
	$ret = json_decode(curl_exec($ch), true);
	curl_close($ch);

	$endresult.=$ret['responseData']['translatedText'];
	$idz+=2;
	}
return $endresult;
}

echo "<form method='get' style='padding:0px; margin:0px;'>

//now to use the translate function
echo translate("<font face='arial'><b>This is the text.</b>
You may place all your html in here and it will translate the text and not the code.
<br>But note that whenever you use a quote example:\" You will need a backslash before it but
that is only for the type of quote which surrounds this entire translation.</font>",'en',$_GET['language']);

?>

Just let me know if you would like more changed.

hi, cwarn23...

Sorry for late replay

In your post no--24

echo translate("<font face='arial'><b>This is the text.</b>

You may place all your html in here and it will translate the text and not the code.

<br>But note that whenever you use a quote example:\" You will need a backslash before it but

that is only for the type of quote which surrounds this entire translation.</font>",'en',$_GET['language']);

Please give me example how to place html or php file translate text??

<?
$file=$_GET['page'];
echo translate(file_get_contents($file),'en',$_GET['language']);
?>

To make life easier, I have made an example of another way to use the function so that you can include an external php (or html) file to include the contents instead of having to worry about escaping the quotes. So basically, you have one or more page(s) that contains just that function and nothing else. Then when linking to another page, just link to index.php?page=newpage.php to load the the page named newpage.php in the same directory. And that may seem ugly so you can then use a htaccess file the rewrite the url to something more pritty like /newpage/.

So basically, the example above acts like the include() function which will translate while including. That will give you something to fiddle with. Hope it helps solve the puzzle.

Edit: You will need the full fuction code in index.php or whatever page the above example which was provided earlier.

hi,
I posted code in post in-28
please tell me what is wrong in this code......
i am not getting correct output.
not changing body text also....

commented: have some patience.. -2

I had a try at embeding it in myself and descovered a few bugs but have now fixed them. Also I discovered that for the translator, it can take one or two minutes to translate the entire page. The more html the longer to translate. So there are the following two pages and they must have the names I gave them unless you can alter the code to change their names but the only page visible in the url bar is index.php. To set the up, first place in index.php the following code:

<?
set_time_limit(0);
function translate($textSource, $langSource, $langTarget='')
    {
    if ($langTarget=='') {$langTarget='en';}
    if ($langSource!==$langTarget)
        {
        $textSource=preg_split('/(<|>)/',$textSource);
        $idz=0;
        $openbracket=1;
        while (isset($textSource[$idz]))
        {
        $ch = curl_init();
        curl_setopt_array($ch, array(
        CURLOPT_URL => 'http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/services/language/translate?v=1.0&q=' . urlencode($textSource[$idz]) . '&langpair=' . urlencode($langSource . '|' . $langTarget),
        CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => true
        ));
        $ret = json_decode(curl_exec($ch), true);
        curl_close($ch);
        if ($openbracket==1)
            {
            $bracket='<';
            $openbracket=0;
            $endresult.=$ret['responseData']['translatedText'].$bracket;
            } else {
            $bracket='>';
            $openbracket=1;
            $endresult.=$textSource[$idz].$bracket;
            }
        $idz+=1;
        }
        $endresult=preg_replace('/(.*)\</','$1',$endresult);
        return $endresult;
        } else {
        return $textSource;
        }
    }
if (!isset($_GET['page']))
    {
    $file='default.php';
    } else {
    $file=$_GET['page'];
    }
$data=file_get_contents('http://'.preg_replace('/(.*)\/[^\/]+/','$1/',$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'].$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']).$file);
echo translate($data,'en',$_GET['language']);

?>

Then in the same directory as index.php place in default.php the following code:

Also when creating links, just link to the page like index.php?page=pagename.php
That will link to a page within the same directory or for a page in a subdirectory the url will be index.php?page=directoryname/pagename.php
Note: You can also use html files
Hope that helps.
