hi everybody, im working on a project which aims at integrating language translation feature in a chat engine. i have opted PIDGIN as the desired chat engine since it is open source ,i can manipulate its code.
the main idea of the project is to help out users who want to exchange their thoughts and ideas but do not share a common language to communicate. for example, a user in france who understands only french wants to chat with a user in japan who understands only japanese. Now i want to integrate language translation feature in Pidgin so that they can chat using their own native languages. Im not sure whether i need to write a protocol between translation APIs and Pidgin so that they can talk between each other.Also i need to perform transliteration because the users would be using english keyboard to type in their native language.So again not sure whether i need to write a protocol between transliteration software and Pidgin. Also i need to detect the incoming language for a user and then convert it into the native language of the user. Please help me about how to go on from here with respect to implementation. that is which language or software to be used as protocols. how to integrate apis.............. anything will be appreciated. with regards, Arun _______________________________________________ Support mailing list [email protected] http://pidgin.im/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/support
