Hi Shamil You can "attack" the web interface via code. It's very easy - you post the wording to be translated, grab the returned html stream, and parse it for the returned translation. Much slower than the API, of course, but totally free as far as I understand. I didn't check for upper/lower case issues however. I have code for it somewhere should anyone be interested. /gustav >>> Salakhetdinov Shamil <mcp2004 at mail.ru> 16-02-2012 14:50 >>> Hi All -- JFYI: I have tried to use .NET Google Translate API today (http://code.google.com/p/google-api-dotnet-client/wiki/Setup) and it worked rather well - rather well because it somehow failed to translate words "Event Viewer" into Russian but translated them well into French. And http://translate.google.com/ is able to translate words "Event Viewer" well into Russian... Google Translate API also translated well lowcased words "event viewer" into Russian. Google Translate API is a paid service - USD20 for 1 million translated chars - so to not waste money (I need to translate about 800,000 chars) I'd probably need to submit only lowcased words to Google Translation API. We will see. Thank you. -- Shamil
