Yes, I think my problem with Chinese was I had only simplified and not
traditional fonts installed. Anyway I installed some libraries now my paste
clipboard ctrl v works.
What doesn't work is calling the Yandex api to translate and then send the
translation to a livecode field. Even though I definitely have all the fonts
for Chinese and German installed Yandex returns a bunch of question marks to
the field. :/
Why is that? What must be done? Because yandex clearly send HTML readable
characters since the apis work on the web. What must I do to the text returned?
on mouseup
repeat with i = 1 to the number of lines in card field "source"
put URLEncode(line i of cd fld "source") into theText
put
"https://translate.yandex.net/api/v1.5/tr.json/translate?key=trnsl.1.1.20180527T091305Z.7f33f9fb3f66f0bb.d573f1d9a6336a981504916600c45f49255938b3&text="&theText&"&lang=de-en";
into tResult
put URL tResult into tResult
set the itemdelimiter to "["
put the last item of tResult into targetText
put targetText & return after cd fld "target"
end repeat
end mouseup
This script works For German except it munges up umlauts. It also works for
zh-en but then just returns a bunch of question marks. I definitely have all
fonts installed. I have tried this in windows 10 and linux mint in case it is
still a linux issue.
How am I to process this text from the yandex api to get unicode chinese
characters?
Another question: in hypercard cmd + . = stop executing script. Is there any
similar command in livecode?
