Hello Eric,
Just an idea but for working with yandex, what if you textEncode and textDecode
for the round trip. Like so:
on mouseup
repeat with i = 1 to the number of lines in card field "source"
put URLEncode(textEncode(line i of cd fld "source","UTF8")) 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 textDecode(targetText,"UTF8") & return after cd fld "target"
end repeat
end mouseup
