When submitting a query with multiple q parameters to the translate v2 API returns the results in random order. This makes it very difficult to correlate the translation with the original text. I have tried submitting the request as both a GET and a POST and the results are the same. Here are a couple of possible solutions:
1. Return the results in the same order the parameters appear in the request. (Obvious solution if parameter order can be determined) 2. Return the original text with the translated text in the response. Below is an example query with the API key redacted: https://www.googleapis.com/language/translate/v2?key=INSERT_API_KEY&source=en&target=es&q=Dog&q=Cat&q=Fish&q=Ham&q=Bread&q=Milk&q=Cheese Here are a few of the responses: { "data": { "translations": [ { "translatedText": "Leche" }, { "translatedText": "Pan" }, { "translatedText": "Jamón" }, { "translatedText": "Perro" }, { "translatedText": "Queso" }, { "translatedText": "Gato" }, { "translatedText": "Pescado" } ] } } Variation #2 { "data": { "translations": [ { "translatedText": "Pescado" }, { "translatedText": "Gato" }, { "translatedText": "Pan" }, { "translatedText": "Queso" }, { "translatedText": "Perro" }, { "translatedText": "Leche" }, { "translatedText": "Jamón" } ] } } Thanks, Kristian CollabraSpace, Inc. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google AJAX APIs" group.
