Hi, I've written a bit of JavaScript that partly overcomes the 500 character limit. It's not 100% perfect as it only has some simple tag detection functionality. I'm pretty new to JavaScript and I'm sure that there are a lot of people out there that can improve on the code. At least it's a start :o)
To use the code, simply stick it on your page and alter the "translatecontents" function to suit your needs. You can also add code to "beginTranslations" and "endTranslations" to enable/disable page elements during the translation process. Here you go: ================================= <script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.google.com/jsapi";></ script> <script type="text/javascript">google.load("language", "1");</script> <script type="text/javascript"> var preTransValues = []; function inTag(chunk) { var openPos = chunk.lastIndexOf('<'); var closePos = chunk.lastIndexOf('>'); // Return true if an open tag appears before a close tag return openPos > closePos; } function beginTranslations() { // Add code that should be executed when the translating starts } function endTranslations() { // Add code that should be executed when the translating finished } function translateElement(tElement, translateText, fromLang, toLang, minChunkSize, maxChunkSize, splitChars, lastElement) { var translatedText = ""; var chunkStart = 0; var chunkEnd = minChunkSize; var count = 0; var totalCount = 0; var splitChar; var tempChunk; // Stop when we reach the end of the text while (chunkStart <= translateText.length) { totalCount++; // Scan from the current position the to maximum chunk size to try // and find the best point to split the text. We do this to try to split // between words and avoid splitting inside tags. Needs some work to be // completely accurate. If we reach the end of the maximum chunk size before // we've found a suitable position we have to split anyway and hope for the // best. while ((chunkEnd <= translateText.length) && (chunkStart + chunkEnd <= maxChunkSize)) { splitChar = translateText.substring(chunkEnd, chunkEnd + 1); // We've found a nice position if the current character matches one of the // split characters and we are not inside a tag. if (((!inTag(translateText.substring(chunkStart, chunkEnd + 2))) && (splitChars.indexOf(splitChar)))) break; else chunkEnd++; } // If we split inside a tag try to find the start of the tag if (inTag(translateText.substring(chunkStart, chunkEnd + 1))) { tempChunk = translateText.substring(chunkStart, chunkEnd + 1) chunkEnd = tempChunk.lastIndexOf('<') + chunkStart; } // Extract the chunk of text to be translated chunk = translateText.substring(chunkStart, chunkEnd); // Translate the text google.language.translate(chunk, fromLang, toLang, function(result) { if (!result.error) { // Add the translated text chunk to the completed translation translatedText = translatedText + result.translation; count ++; // We only want to set the translated text if this is it's last translation chunk if (count >= totalCount) { tElement.innerHTML = translatedText; // If this is the last translation, call the end translations function if (lastElement) endTranslations(); } } else { if (lastElement) endTranslations(); return result.error.message; } }); chunkStart = chunkEnd; chunkEnd = chunkEnd + minChunkSize; } } function translateElements(elementIdArray, fromLang, toLang, minChunkSize, maxChunkSize, splitChars) { if (splitChars = "") splitChars = "(),!."; if (toLang != "") beginTranslations(); for (i = 0; i < elementIdArray.length; i++) { // Save the original text if this is the first time we are translating it if (preTransValues[elementIdArray[i]] == undefined) preTransValues[elementIdArray[i]] = document.getElementById(elementIdArray[i]).innerHTML; if (toLang == "") document.getElementById(elementIdArray[i]).innerHTML = preTransValues[elementIdArray[i]]; else translateElement(document.getElementById(elementIdArray[i]), preTransValues[elementIdArray[i]], fromLang, toLang, minChunkSize, maxChunkSize, splitChars, i == elementIdArray.length - 1); } } function translatecontents(fromLang, toLang) { translateElements(["businessTypeString", "businessDiscountText", "businessDescription"], // An array of the IDs of the elements you want to translate fromLang, // The "from" language e.g. en <an empty string will automatically detect the from language> toLang, // The "to" language e.g. no 300, // The minimum length of a block that will be translated 500, // The maximum length of a block that will be translated (500 is the current Google max) ""); // The characters that will be used to split words. Default = "(),!." } </script> On Jul 30, 11:51 pm, Fitzchev <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > To expand the max chars vote > herehttp://code.google.com/p/google-ajax-apis/issues/detail?id=18 > > On Jul 30, 11:07 pm, Denis1900 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > I'm connecting from C# by "GET" request to Google AJAX Language > > Service.
