brilliant, thanks! ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jacob Kruger" <jacob@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <off-topic@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, October 16, 2013 7:51 PM Subject: [off-topic] Simple ways to get google translate to handle it for you Since the standard google translate site is rather cluttered with 'smart' content, reckon/think the following examples might be of minor interest if interested - To quickly/easily get it to translate a phrase/term: http://translate.google.com/?sl=en&tl=af&text=how+are+you+feeling On that result page, find text/edit box, and it will have original text in it - in english in this case (sl=en) and below that will be Afrikaans translation result (tl=af) - sl is source language and tl is target language, and the text value, I just replaced spaces with + character, and ignored/removed any punctuation, since while shouldn't necessarily be an issue, might sometimes. Then, if you wanted to translate a webpage, the following is an example: http://translate.google.com/translate?sl=en&tl=af&u=http://www.blindza.co.za/ Give it a bit of time to load, and then look for sort of embedded frame, which should contain the result - in this case the Afrikaans translation of my website - and in the address/URL, while sl and tl still mean source and target languages, u is for URL, etc. Stay well Jacob Kruger Blind Biker Skype: BlindZA '...fate had broken his body, but not his spirit...'
