Hi,
Jamal came with the idea of creating a translator by using Google, so I've
made a Desktop program for Windows that does that.
The original version also offers the possibility of chosing the backend
between Google and Babelfish, but if I include the translator by Babelfish,
I can't pack the program using perlapp. I know why, but I don't know how to
solve it yet, so I've created a version that can translate only using
Google.
Anyway, Google offers much more language pairs than Babelfish, and even
though it gives very many errors, it also gives many good translations.
You can download the program from:
http://www.tranzactiibursiere.ro/static/MaestroTranslate.exe
You can choose the source and destination languages from combo boxes.
You can type the source text into a multiline field, or you can choose to
open a text file with the text you want to translate.
You can also save the generated translation into a text file.
I've tried to translate a file which is a little bigger than 1.6 kb (from
romanian to english) but Google didn't translate anything. If I removed a
few sentences to make the file smaller, it translated the file with no
problems.
For the moment I don't know if Google has a size limit, or it encountered
some chars/words it doesn't like, but I will make some more tests.
I've made the program without an installer because it doesn't need other
external files to run.
I don't know if the translation to Bulgarian and Japanese work because I've
made a simple test but it wasn't successfully passed.
