We all know, that Google has stopped Google Translate Service for applications and made Google Translate API depricated. So I decided to use Microsoft Bing Translate API for my purposes of online word translation. <\/p>\n
I managed to make an objective C wrap over Microsoft Bing Translate API for translation of one word. It is analogous to the wrap for Google Translate API, but it is much simpler because it doesn’t use any JSON or XML parsing. <\/p>\n
I just extract a translated word from a string that I get by HTTP GET Method in Obj. C. In the first function I check weather I have an Internet connection setup properly and I start running a background function for translation. I make it in background thread not to freeze user interface.<\/p>\n
Then I produce a url and make a request. When I get a contents string, I cut it a little bit to get a translation of word. That’s all. <\/p>\n
Please post any comments if this was useful. <\/p>\n
