Translation UserScript
-
I hope this is the most appropriate forum... To people (perhaps) with experience doing things like this - does this even sound possible? I'm having to do a bit of translation work, and I'm using Google Translate a lot (in Chrome). It would be really handy to be able to have four translation boxes on one page (e.g., English to Spanish at the top, and below that, Spanish to English), with buttons to transfer the text back and forth. That would make it far easier to check the back translation. Might I be able to do such a thing with a user script? And can anyone point me at the best resources for developing these in Chrome? Cheers!

I saw a similar thing done believe it or not, in Google 'spreadsheet', so that each of two parties could see their native language being typed and the translation to their colleagues' language in another cell - since the sheet was shared the two parties could see everything I have no doubt you could use a web form and the Google Translation API and javascript - I don't know what you mean 'in Chrome' - have a look here http://davidwalsh.name/demo/google-language-api.php[^] from this code http://davidwalsh.name/google-translate-api[^] - I just did a quick search 'javascript google translate' to find that - you may want to include 'REST' if you do a search, to use the newer Google Translate REST API
