Hence my Rube Goldberg machine comment ;)


If you're using what I suggested, then you should just be storing the data in memory. If you do write to file, it will because you are writing the...

Well, I'm impressed that they got it to work too, though I would not be impressed if all they used it for was to get the source code of a page.

So, they really do leverage on Google Chrome developer tools for a standalone program rather than a browser extension? What do you mean by "got my program to work on CNN"?


Yes, that's what I...

It may be possible, but why do it that way?


What do you mean by "do this from scratch"?

Basically, when a user visits the Google Translate page and gets a translation, there is client side...

Yes, but that is the URL of the service frontend, not the URL to which you can send a request to get a response that can be parsed for the translation.


Refer to my post #16. As I said, you are...

What URL might this be?


Uh, that sounds like you'll be making a Rube Goldberg machine.

Uh, if by "find it" you mean find it in the source as inspected using your browser's developers' tool, then you should note that the tool may be displaying the source to correspond to the page as it...

If the information I have is correct, then that field will simply be empty to you when you make the call to get the page. The idea in that article I linked to is to use the internal API (as used by...

Because that is the right thing to do. You use something that is documented and specifically intended for programmatic use, so you can get running faster and don't have to worry about what happens if...

Have you considered just using the API? Payment may be a pain, but it is a small pain ($20 for a million characters) if your usage is small.


What do you mean by "inspected element" and...

A search brings me to: Translating with Google Translate without API and C# Code.

Of course, now that the API is a paid service, they may have taken steps to prevent this kind of bypassing of...

By right, you should use the API, but I see that it is now a paid service.
