Jim,
I've been meaning to thank you for your post below, and to ask how one can
figure out what parameters need to be passed to a post request in order to
automate a web form in a particular way. How did you figure out what was
needed on those web sites?
Can you or others give general tips for this kind of scripting?
Jamal

Hi Jamal,
I wrote a Python script that can query Yahoo Babelfish or Google
Translate.
I can post it if you are interested.

Thanks for the info. I'm looking for a programmatic way of doing a
translation, that is, a way that a program I write can control the UI
rather than depending on the UI of a web page or other desktop program.
Do you know of something that meets this criteria?
