I use google translate API with an LC Server web application. It
would probably work exactly the same with LC desktop.
The call looks like this:
put "https://www.googleapis.com/language/translate/v2?key=(your
google API account key)&q=cat&source=en&target=ja" into tURL
put URL tURL into vholder
The word to translate is 'cat' and vholder is below.
"data": { "translations": [ { "translatedText": "猫" } ] } }
JSON, I think. I just use LC and change itemdelimiter to zero in
on the translated text.
There is a monthly free limit on amount of text, then you pay. My
app is VERY low traffic and I have never gone over the free
amount of text to translate.
Hope this helps!

I am seeking a widget or live script code to translate a single word or at most
256 chrs text from within a stack.
I think there is or was Google api livecode could use to talk with the Google
translator server via scripting.
My ideal use: while moving the cursor over and clicking text the mousetext can
be sent to Google and return the translation.
Anyone have a sample stack to share?
Thanks, Andrew
