babelfish : Ruby interface to Yahoo! BabelFish translation service
==================================================================

This is a completely *unofficial* (and incredibly simple) Ruby
interface to the Yahoo! BabelFish translation service. Enjoy!

The source code is [available via
Git](http://github.com/sunaku/babelfish/t...).


Installation
------------

Run the following command to install this library:

sudo gem install babelfish


Usage: Command Line
--------------------

Here are some examples of using the command-line interface:

# echo "Hello world!" | babelfish en es
¡Hola mundo!

# echo "How are you?" > foo.txt
# babelfish en es foo.txt
¿Cómo está usted?

Run `babelfish --help` to see the list of supported languages.


Usage: Ruby Library
--------------------

Here is an example of using the library in Ruby:

require 'rubygems'
require 'babelfish'

input_text = "I am well, thank you."
input_code = "en"

puts input_text
BabelFish::LANGUAGE_PAIRS[input_code].each do |output_code|
print " in #{BabelFish::LANGUAGE_NAMES[output_code]} is: "
puts BabelFish.translate(input_text, input_code, output_code)
end

The result of running the above example is:

I am well, thank you.
in Italian is: Sono bene, grazie.
in Japanese is: 私はå??æ°?でã?ã??ã?ã?ã??ã?とã?ã??
in German is: Ich fÃ?ehle mich gut, danke.
in French is: Je vais bien, merci.
in Spanish is: Estoy bien, gracias.
in Russian is: Я наилÑ?Ñ?Ñ?им обÑ?азом, вÑ?.
in Chinese-simp is: æ??å¾?好ï¼?谢谢ã??
in Portuguese is: Eu sou bem, obrigado.
in Korean is: ë??ë?? ì?? ì??ë?¤, ë?¹ì? ì? 감ì?¬í??ì?­ì??ì?¤.
in Chinese-trad is:
in Greek is: Î?ίμαι καλά, Ï?αÏ? εÏ?Ï?αριÏ?Ï?Ï?.
in Dutch is: Ik ben goed, dank u.

I agree, the basic mechanism is the same as the core logic[1] of my gem.
