You should really have a browse around this site and Google before asking a question like this. There are many ways to approach this problem and I'm sure it's been brought up here too often to start yet another thread.

Having just reread your thread you might be asking for automatic translation from English to another language. If this is the case it's not a repeat question but I think PHP isn't the right choice for doing this.

Ravenous

And even if it is, it's a rather complex question. How sweet it would be if someone were able to write a PHP class or something that was able to translate between spoken laguages that lack that well-defined syntax of programming languages. Hell.. writing a compiler that converts Java into bytecode was hard enough and Java has some rather strict syntax.

It's almost impossible, have you seen google translation?

It would take A LONG time to sort through all the phrases and grammer mishaps... *shudders

As great as the idea is, you'd need an army working on it or at least some hermit working full time with great knowledge of the languages.

Not that I'm 100% sure, but I saw this site that used babelfish to translate... it was called lost in translation, it translated back and forth till the word was nothing like it was when it started.

All that does is send the form data to the site and then... well... it gets it back by opening the URL or something..

I dunno, I did it once...

Ask one of these if you think that you could use google or babelfish, its way over my head.

Ok, to use babelfish, you would use fopen() to open up http://babelfish.altavista.com/tr?trtext=text%20string&lp=ja_en
And then parse the html data that you get back!? If you comprehend that...
