Rick,
I can't tell whether this will be of any benefit, but it is worth to have a 
look at other services, to see if they will offer similar access as did Google. 
You could - of course - try to search teh web for things like "online 
translator" or something similar, and see which services are available. There 
is a rather good portion, although most of them are rather limited.

One service, that does offer multilingual translation, and which I know others 
have been using back in time, is the Babelfish one. Sorry, I can't give you 
their exact address, but you will find it. Also, I do wonder if Webster has a 
web based service, for translating. Yet, one thing to be aware of, is that not 
all services are automated, and not all of them can do translations of more 
than one word at a time. Far as memory goes, the Babelfish will let you 
translate whole phrases. It's been quite a while since I looked at their site 
last, and back then, I personally found it rather troublesome to navigate. Yet, 
your script would take care of that part of the story... Smile!

Have a look, as it might just happen, there might not be too much rewriting 
needed, so as to adapt your app to another service provider.

  wwhhhaaaa!!!

  Sorry to hear that Rick; especially after you put all the work in.

  Oh well, you're that much better a programmer for having spent that time 
learning, that's what you have to remind yourself!

  Subject: Google Translate Project Cancelled


  Hi: I just found out Google is deprecating it's Translate API by the end of 
this year. Therefore, my project to auto-translate WE Script UI Elements is 
also deprecated.
  I will look at the possibility of using Microsoft's Translate services but my 
code base is 90 percent done for the Google Translate version.  It might 
require a massive ReWrite to switch to a  
  SOAP or other HTTP Request / Response protocol or whatever...
  Anyway, I see no reason to continue the current project - thanks Google.
