Translatting to multiple languages

On Quora, I saw a question

Where can I translate one word/expression into multiple languages
simultaneously?
5 people were following the question but there was no answer for more than 2 months :(
Hence thought of creating a simple HTML/JS app that can translate text to many languages without taking pains of selecting name of the languages one by one in Google's interface.

Thankfully I got a jquery plugin for translation that internally uses Google translate APIs.
Please use the app and let ne know your comments.

NOTE: Google has withdrawn the free translate APIs (made it paid) so this app stopped working. Let me figure out other ways to put this service back.

  5. @Kalpana, @Mukta: I have created inlt the wrapper. In the backend, the app uses Google Translate. Hence it is limited by the support provided by Google.
    Howver, the design is such that as and when Google adds more languages in their API, the app will automatically support all those languages

  6. it would be nice if the translated words were listed in one row all together so I could just highlight them all and paste them into a website as tags. Right now I have to paste them one at a time.

  10. Hello. Your app does not work anymore. Is it easy to fix or is there another site around that does the same thing? I tried Chrome and Internet Explorer.

  11. @wes, Thanks for bringing it to notice. The reason is that Google removed the free version of translate API :( http://code.google.com/apis/language/translate/overview.html

    However, Microsoft is trying to come up with the translate API. Let me figure that out.
