Language Translation API C#
c#, google-translate
Solution
Two mainstream options are
the Microsoft API, this is free to a certain limit
the Google API is a paid service
An cheap and dirty option would be to call the Google translate directly via a HTTP request (in another words screen scrape the Google translate page) with the new ASP.NET Web API its quite easy to do HTTP requests elegantly. eg: to translate the English phrase "test this" from English to French you need the below URL.
http://translate.google.com/#en/fr/test%20this
Here is the asp.net web api resource.
Problem
I am attempting to create a natural language processing program in which I must be able to translate words and sentences as well as getting their parts of speech. I have heard that you can implement Google Translate API in your program, but have worked on it with no luck for the past 2 weeks. I have tried looking at other translation services such as this, but with my very limited background in C#, I can not make much out of the article. Can anybody provide me with a simple walk through, I would like to learn what I am doing so I can further my knowledge of C#, that I can use to be able to accomplish my goal. It does not have to be the Google API, but any help is greatly appreciated!
