[RESOLVED] Translation of text using VB6

I have a long list of small sentences to translate and I would like to write a small VB program to take one sentence at a time, send it to a web translation, possibly using the translator's URL and the text to translate as a parameter, and then get back the translation by parsing the resulting page.

Have anybody successfully done something similar? If so, which translator where you using? Is it working well? Any source code to get me going?

Thanks

using babelfish...

add a webbrowser to your form.. and add a reference to the HTML object library

VB Code:

Private Sub Form_Load()
    WebBrowser1.Navigate "http://babelfish.altavista.com/"
End Sub
 
Private Sub WebBrowser1_DocumentComplete(ByVal pDisp As Object, URL As Variant)
    Dim HTML As HTMLDocument
    If (pDisp Is WebBrowser1.Application) Then
        Set HTML = WebBrowser1.Document
        If URL = "http://babelfish.altavista.com/" Then
            Dim S As HTMLSelectElement
            For Each S In HTML.getElementsByTagName("select")
                S.Value = "en_fr"
            Next
            HTML.All.trtext.Value = "This is a test"
            HTML.All.btnTrTxt.Click
        Else
            MsgBox HTML.All.q.Value
        End If
    End If
End Sub

Thanks a lot, this is EXACTLY what I needed!

Great! had to take a "guess" at that one.. testing on one line seemed to work so u will need to loop it. but figured it would at least get u started :)

could you mark the thread resolved? (thread tools > mark thread resolved)

thanks!
