Hello Friends,
I found a hack to use Google Translator services.
As I was working on my scrapper project, category titles were needed to translated from Dutch to English and we do not wanted to use any paid service.
I have tracked the requests made From translate.google.com and gathered them, then fetched responses from my curl function which I have Posted before .
below is the final code. It is working perfectly. Please let the page loaded for proper source code view.
<?php
function curl($url,$params = array(),$is_coockie_set = false)
{
if(!$is_coockie_set){
/* STEP 1. let’s create a cookie file */
$ckfile = tempnam ("/tmp", "CURLCOOKIE");
/* STEP 2. visit the homepage to set the cookie properly */
$ch = curl_init ($url);
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, $ckfile);
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
$output = curl_exec ($ch);
}
$str = ''; $str_arr= array();
foreach($params as $key => $value)
{
$str_arr[] = urlencode($key)."=".urlencode($value);
}
if(!empty($str_arr))
$str = '?'.implode('&',$str_arr);
/* STEP 3. visit cookiepage.php */
$Url = $url.$str;
$ch = curl_init ($Url);
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE, $ckfile);
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
$output = curl_exec ($ch);
return $output;
}
function Translate($word,$conversion = 'hi_to_en')
{
$word = urlencode($word);
// dutch to english
if($conversion == 'nl_to_en')
$url = 'http://translate.google.com/translate_a/t?client=t&text='.$word.'&hl=en&sl=nl&tl=en&multires=1&otf=2&pc=1&ssel=0&tsel=0&sc=1';
// english to hindi
if($conversion == 'en_to_hi')
$url = 'http://translate.google.com/translate_a/t?client=t&text='.$word.'&hl=en&sl=en&tl=hi&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&multires=1&otf=1&ssel=3&tsel=3&sc=1';
// hindi to english
if($conversion == 'hi_to_en')
$url = 'http://translate.google.com/translate_a/t?client=t&text='.$word.'&hl=en&sl=hi&tl=en&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&multires=1&otf=1&pc=1&trs=1&ssel=3&tsel=6&sc=1';
//$url = 'http://translate.google.com/translate_a/t?client=t&text='.$word.'&hl=en&sl=nl&tl=en&multires=1&otf=2&pc=1&ssel=0&tsel=0&sc=1';
$name_en = curl($url);
$name_en = explode('"',$name_en);
return $name_en[1];
}
?>
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"/>

<body>
<?php
echo "

";
echo Translate('कानूनी नोटिस: यह गूगल के अनुवादक सेवाओं की एक दुरुपयोग है, आप इस के लिए भुगतान करना होगा.');
echo "
English To Hindi
";
echo Translate('legal notice: This is an abuse of google translator services , you must pay for this.','en_to_hi');
echo "
Dutch To English
";
echo Translate('Disclaimer: Dit is een misbruik van Google Translator diensten, moet u betalen.','nl_to_en');
echo "
Just Kidding ....... :)";
?>

Copy this code in php file and hit it.
You will need to enable curl for this code to work.
Currently It supports Three translations
1)Hindi To English 2)English To Hindi 3) Dutch To English
If you want to add more translations Follow the steps below
1) Go to http://translate.google.com/ by Mozilla Firefox
2) open firebug and type any thing them copy the URL of Ajax request made by the browser.
3) Place it in the translate function with proper condition and replace &text parameter in the url with $word variable.
Let me know if it is helpful or give your valuable suggestions.
And Please don’t tell this to Google Ha ha …….
AS per rob’s suggestion I am placing the updated translate function to support all kind of languages supported by Google. I have not tested it but hope it works fine
function Translate($word,$conversion = 'hi_to_en')
{
$word = urlencode($word);
$arr_langs = explode(‘_to_’, $conversion);
$url = “http://translate.google.com/translate_a/t?client=t&text=$word&hl=".$arr_langs[1]."&sl=".$arr_langs[0]."&tl=".$arr_langs[1]."&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&multires=1&otf=1&pc=1&trs=1&ssel=3&tsel=6&sc=1″;
$name_en = curl($url);
$name_en = explode('"',$name_en);
return $name_en[1];
}
