Boo! someone beat me to it... No I didn't see that post.

Oh, well... at least mine "looks" simpler.

And here I was all excited that I found something new.

Is the search capability of the forum broke? It seams like a search usually yields everything but the kitchen sink when I search for "Kitchen Sink".

I agree.. LOL Seems like it only pulls the sticky's then whatever is the most popular post at the time... Google is what I mainly use to search the forum tho. Start it out with like: autoit blah blah and it does pretty well..

Hello Friend

Can you help me?

I want a program that could translator a website with google translate

[corgano]

if you set translate to "en" from "auto", is there a way to get what language Google says it is? You can do this manually by translating language detect to English from (auto detect)

according to waht the script does,

"http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/services/language/translate?v=1.0&q=In Soviet Russia, code document you!&langpair=en%7Cru"

is normal, but this

"http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/services/language/translate?v=1.0&q=In Soviet Russia, code document you!&langpair=auto%7Cru"

won't work. Why? That is what the Google URL uses when you translate manually.
