copied!<p>Eh, Google is certainly a great translation service, but if you're looking for reliable translations you probably need to go human - machine translation can be sketchy at best. <a href="http://mygengo.com/" rel="nofollow">myGengo</a> has an API to facilitate machine translation; your question is tagged with "python", so I've thrown some sample code below, but you can <a href="http://venodesigns.net/2011/05/31/using-the-mygengo-translation-api-with-python/" rel="nofollow">get a more extensive walkthrough</a> if you so desire.</p> <p>The cool thing is that you can get a machine translation while you wait for your human translation to be done, so if you need <em>something</em> in the time between you're not high and dry. ;)</p> <p>First, install the mygengo API library for Python:</p> <pre><code>pip install mygengo </code></pre> <p>Then, request translations like below:</p> <pre><code># -*- coding: utf-8 -*- from mygengo import MyGengo gengo = MyGengo( public_key = 'your_mygengo_api_key', private_key = 'your_mygengo_private_key', sandbox = False, # possibly False, depending on your dev needs ) translation = gengo.postTranslationJob(job = { 'type': 'text', # REQUIRED. Type to translate, you'll probably always put 'text' here (for now ;) 'slug': 'Translating Chinese to English with the myGengo API', # REQUIRED. For storing on the myGengo side 'body_src': '我們今天要去那裏嗎', # REQUIRED. The text you're translating. ;P 'lc_src': 'zh', # REQUIRED. source_language_code (see getServiceLanguages() for a list of codes) 'lc_tgt': 'en', # REQUIRED. target_language_code (see getServiceLanguages() for a list of codes) 'tier': 'standard', # REQUIRED. tier type ("machine", "standard", "pro", or "ultra") }) # This will print out a machine translation; for your human translation, you can # poll and check often, or set up a URL for it to post the results to. print translation['response']['job']['body_tgt'] </code></pre>
