Hi Storm and Jim,
Storm, your method may not always work as you rely on character positions for a
specific string.
IN Python 2.6 the json library is available via:
import json
Then change Jim's code to use json.loads and everything will work as Jim showed
it.

Hi,
I tested the method you gave me and unfortunately I didn't have the
django.utils library installed by default. Your solution did help me though,
because for some reasn the word string stuck out at me this time. Why it didn't
before, why I refused to treat the result like a string in the first place, I
will never know. But finally, your message made it click. So, I treated it like
a string, a string in which the beginning and the end, assuming all goes well,
are the same. Now, I have what I needed, the result without having to install
non-default libraries, at least I hope anyway. Here's the program in it's
working state:
import urllib
text = "hello, how are you today?"
languageCode = 'es'
newText =
urllib.urlopen("//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/services/language/translate?v=1.0&q=";
+ urllib.quote(text) + "&langpair=en|" + urllib.quote(languageCode)).read()
newText = newText[36:-51]
print newText
thanks so much everyone for all the help
Storm

Hi Storm,
The result is json.
Use a json library to make a Python structure out of the string.
I think recent versions of Python (2.6?) have a json module as standard.
But the following works if you have the simplejson from Django:
from django.utils import simplejson
result = simplejson.loads(NewText)
print result['responseData']['translatedText']

Hi,
Here's the output:
{"responseData": {"translatedText":"Hola, ¿cómo estás hoy?"},
"responseDetails": null, "responseStatus": 200}
Here's the part I need in this version of the program, if the text variable
changes, so does the required output:
Hola, ¿cómo estás hoy?
thanks
Storm

What other stuff are you getting?
What exactly does your program output in the print statement?

Hi,
I have written a small program to translate from english to another
language, in this instance, Spanish. The problem is, it returns some other
stuff that I don't need. How can I get just the translated text witout the
other stuff? I only want to use standard libraries and keep it as short as
possible. Thanks for the help. Here's the code:
import urllib
text = "hello, how are you today?"
languageCode = 'es'
newText =
urllib.urlopen("//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/services/language/translate?v=1.0&q=";
+ urllib.quote(text) + "&langpair=en|" + urllib.quote(languageCode)).read()
print newText
Thanks
Storm
