* http://tranexp.rubyforge.org



== DESCRIPTION:



Translates words or phrases from one language to another, using 

http://www.tranexp.com:2000/Translate/result.shtml



== FEATURES/PROBLEMS:



Has a command-line and API.



Caches results in a local YAML file to make subsequent requests for

same query faster. (REQUIRES: 'HOME' environment variable set to a folder)



=== Command Line



To translate some text from Danish to English:



    cat some_danish_text.txt | tranexp dan eng

    

    echo "jeg ville like en flaske vin" | tranexp nor

    I would like a bottle of wine



That is, you pass the input text via STDIN. The default target language is English ('eng').



=== API



To translate some text from English to Norwegian:

  

    translate = Tranexp::Http.new

    english = translate.translate("metoder", Tranexp::Http::Norwegian, Tranexp::Http::English)

    english = translate.translate("metoder", "nor", "eng")

    

Or use the dynamic helper:

  

    translate.from_nor_to_eng("metoder")
