Automatic Resource File Translation via Google Translate(www.codecapers.com)

submitted by mceranski(345) 1 year, 8 months ago

One of the features that I support in WeBlog is localization. That means that all the labels, buttons and text within the application are stored in a resource file. So if you switch from English to Spanish, the text will be automatically displayed in the right language. For more information about how this magic happens, read this article. Since I am only fluent in English I depend on Google translator to make the translations for me. After about 10 minutes of manually translating a spanish resource file, I decided that I needed a way to automate the process. I did a quick Google search and discovered that the translator service utilizes a JSON based API. A little more searching and I found a class library written by Alex Meyer-Gleaves which takes care of making the service calls to the translator API and parsing the results. So the only work I had to do was read the resource file, invoke the translator via Alex’s C# library and save the translated data to a new resource file. read more...
