Let me try to answer your questions as you asked them. Q: Ajax should send the request to server-side application, which is doing post request?
A: Exactly. If you are wanting to utilize the full 5000-character string limit from a webpage via Javascript, you will need to use an XMLHttpRequest (XHR) object to send a POST request to a proxy application on your own server, which will then do a POST request to Google's server and return the response to your XHR. Your XHR's onreadystatechange handler will then eval the response and continue processing as before. Q: Then at which url this application should send post request? A: Depending on which portion of the Language API you're wanting to use (i.e., language translation or detection), your server-side proxy application needs to submit its request to one of the two urls listed at the link below: http://code.google.com/apis/ajaxlanguage/documentation/reference.html#_intro_fonje Q: While using ajax api i get inbuilt methods from "google" so where i can set the type of request. (get/post,or is it possible?) A: It is not possible to specify GET or POST with the standard API. To do so, you will have to roll your own custom wrappers. Q: while using non-js env the server itself implement the get request so there is no benefit if you use get or post at the end it will be get. A: Not true. Your server-side application can specify whether it wants to use the GET or POST method to make requests. There is a significant difference between the two methods in the way information is passed between client (i.e., your server-side script) and host (i.e., Google's servers). You will have to refer to the documentation of your specific language and environment to see how to do this. Q: My script is running at server side , how can we achieve translations up to 5000 chars. A: Check out the link above, and the one below for more information, including code snippets for several major programming languages. Since I believe all of the example code uses a simple GET request (they were not specifically written for the Language API, but the same principles continue to apply), you will have to figure out how to specify a POST request for yourself. Usually, it's just a line or two, plus any differences in passing arguments, etc. Jeremy R.
