The Google Language API Family consists of four powerful tools making it easier for you to communicate with users across the globe:

* Need to translate your website or application into one or more different languages? With Google Translate, you can dynamically translate text between thousands of language pairs.

* Wondering what "have a nice day" looks like written in Hindi? You can use Google Transliterate to transform a given written language into dozens of other scripts.

* Want to type in Hindi, but don't have a Hindi keyboard? With Google Virtual Keyboard, you can provide users with an on-screen keyboard layout native to one of dozens of available language scripts.

* Learning to read Arabic? You can use Google Diacritize to add diacritical marks to text, helping non-native speakers learn how to pronounce these words.


i have created a small asp.net project for translating from one language to another using Google Language apis.

Gapi.Net is a wrapper to implement Google Language api in c#/vb.net


Language API example:

Code:

System.Console.WriteLine("{0}", Translator.Translate("Ciao mondo", Language.Italian, Language.English));

In wrapper developer define enums for all languages. so our first step is to fill dropdownlist with languages for user ease to select the desire language for conversion.

Code:

ddl_langFrom.DataSource = Enum.GetValues(typeof(Language));
ddl_langFrom.DataBind();

because dropdownlist value return a string, but we need Language enum to execute the main Translator.Translate function, we first need to convert string to specified enum.

Code:

Language lngfrm = (Language)Enum.Parse(typeof(Language), ddl_langFrom.SelectedValue);

now simply pass these parameters to Translator.Translate function to get the desire results.

Please check the attached code for complete solution.

Requirements:
.NET Framework 2.0
Complying with Google Terms for using the Search API



Note: if someone want to use this code, then please give a link back to dotnetobject.com.
