the code suggested at http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/Using_Google_Translate
seems to be obsolete and did not work to me. I get error 403 (http server unknown). After I got a key at https://cloud.google.com/translate/v2/getting_started (a long and boring task) this call worked: https://www.googleapis.com/language/translate/v2key=MYKEY&source=en&target=de&q=hallo%20world However the service will be free for a trial period of 60 days only. Then the service will be billed at $20 per 1 M characters of text, probably a fair price. Microsoft has a similar service which should be free for the first 2M characters of translated text a month. However I could not understand how to register to the microsoft cloud and get the access key to the service. I found this paper work very vexating. Will try again after some days' rest :) I have a curious and probably naive question. Say I use Google Translator from my browser and decide to translate from English to German. I input "hello world" in the left box, click the TRANSLATE button and can see that the following call is issued: https://translate.google.it/?hl=it&tab=cT#en/de/hello%20world {1} As a result, the German words "Hallo Welt" are displayed in the right box. Well, if I issue the same call {1} programmatically and save the html page to a file... the words "Hallo Welt" are nowhere to be found in the saved HTML file ! Which magics do the google coders use in order to hide the German translation ? Is there a way to dig the German translation from the HTML page ? Thank you Peppe
