Hi,
I have tested quite a bit and so far it works. The fortunate thing is
that if the translation happens, the string always contains the same
info at the beginning and end, so the same slice will work each time. I
test for the status to be "200}" and if that is the case, everything
worked so I can make the translation. It may not be the prettiest thing
in the world, but it seems to work ok for now.
I'll have to do a php version soon, and I will most likely go with the
json method with it.
Thanks
Storm
