All,

I only speak 3 languages, and I speak them all poorly. Also, I don't
always have a professional translator available to properly translate
not just the words but also the connotation of all the various strings
in a particular application.

I also sometimes need to translate a /lot/ of stuff all at once.

I often use Google's language translator to translate strings
one-at-a-time, but all that copy-paste can get very tedious, especially
because I use emacs for editing which keeps a private clipboard, etc.,
etc., etc.

The other day, I finally scratched that itch and created a relatively
simple web page that can translate the whole shebang for you:

http://www.christopherschultz.net/projects/java/translate.html

Just copy your entire properties file and paste it into the textarea on
the left. Then, click "translate" and it will do all its magic. There's
currently a limit of 10 seconds or so on the time it takes to do the
translation before it gives up, so if you have a ton of strings, it
might time-out.

Also, I have hard-coded English and Spanish as the only languages for
the time being. Don't worry: I'll fix that.

Enjoy, and let me know if you can think of anything that might be nice
to add to this.

Yes, I know, someone has already written a component so you can call the
translation tools from Java code, but that's not what I wanted right
now. At some point, I'll probably use that tool to write a completely
automated translate-and-encode tool. But not yet.
