Summary0000249: A "legal" Google Translate scraping interface
Description

That could allow working around Google Translate API's price. It works this way:

  1. The code gives you a list of English actions, about ~4500 character (to not hit 5000 chars limit). Every line has its number. like:

  2. Does this _>

  3. Does that _>

It adds some delimiter so Google Translate won't mix things up.

  1. You get the translated text, paste it to a form. Translations are automatically assigned to correct lines.

  2. A preview is displayed so user can see if something is skipped.

That's it.

This can be implemented in a way so contributing users can also use.

Additional Information

Only difficulty would be implementing it for long lists that takes > 4500 characters.
To solve this, the implementation would be listing only untranslated items.

Bonus: This could allow other web translation interfaces than Google Translate.

Things to be careful:

  • The pasted list should be checked if it has valid format.
  • The pasted list may be checked for correct language, because it's easy to do it wrong and it's stored unchecked. It may need some API usage.
