It is not a matter of an API, automated translations don't work except for
very restricted environments. Some software companies are trying to provide
their knowledge base in multiple languages and I admit the results don't
stink, but they are far from being a decent translation. It is favored by
the fact that it is a restricted subset of the full language and to reach
that far it has been tested and refined on a large subset (they already had
a good chunk of documents hand-translated) so they only had to extend that
expertise over the full set. Nevertheless they all still deal with the same
sort of information, all tech-support for developers. I read some
encouraging news regarding machine translation recently, but it is still
some way of.
You have probably dealt with machine translations, if you have ever read the
booklet for some cheap electronic product made in China, well, then you
know. That's how it turns out.
And, if you think it is all the same, I can tell you, Spanish being my
native language, if I ever get to a site badly translated don't expect me
back, ever.

Subject: Language Translation (spanish->english) PHP
Anyone know of an API (soap, xml-rpc, rest, anything) for PHP that assists
with language translation?
Thanks
