Loading languages

[hardik7681]

Hi,
I have a PHP page that uses the google translation API. Currently I
have used google.load("language",1) and
google.setOnLoadCallback(init);
The init function loads the languages in the two combo boxes and
everything is working fine.
Now my requirement is to develop something similar to "http://
www.google.com/translate_t",

Now when i compare the 2 pages (mine and the what google has), the 2
language dropdown boxes are different, my language dropdown does not
have "Finnish" option and it has an "unknown" option at the end while
what google has the "Finnish" option and does not have the "unknown"
option.

So i was just wondering how can I make the dropdown in my page similar
to that what google has, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Hardik Patel.

You could use the enum to construct your drop downs (http://code.google.com/apis/ajaxlanguage/documentation/reference.html#LangNameArray).  Then just leave out the Unknown option at the end, or change it to Detect Language (since that's what specifying a language of Unknown means).

Hi Ben,
Does it mean that I have to hardcode the values to construct the drop
downs OR is there any way that I can populate the values in the drop
downs dynamically?

You could loop through the enum, printing out <option> tags surrounding each item in the enum.

Hi Ben,
I did exactly that but there are 2 problems now,

1) In the source drop down i cannot get "finnish" language option (btw
I am using isTranslatable() function to populate the drop downs).
2) If you compare my page here: - http://www.dailysouls.com/index.php?page=translate
with the google translate page, the destination drop down language
options are different, i.e. in the first dropdown google has only
"Chinese" as an option whereas in my case i have got "Chinese",
"Chinese Simplified" and "Chinese Traditional" as 3 different
options...

So my question still remains unanswered , "how can I make the drop
downs in my page similar to that what google has ???"

Thanks,
Hardik.

1)  We are investigating why "finnish" returns false in the isTranslatable() method.
2)  If you don't want to include anything other than Chinese, then in the for loop don't include them (use an if statement).

Thanks Ben.
Is there any way when I would come to know when the "finnish" language
would return true in the isTanslatable() method?

We have realized our error and have begun work on it.  It should be fixed in a short amount of time.

Thanks Ben once again,
Finnish language is now returns true in the isTranslatable() method
and is working fine.
