API translation not the same as http://translate.google.com

[tigercode]

Here is an example.

I have a simple English test string I'm trying to translate to Spanish using code to work with the google API.

English test sting = where is your home
translate to Spanish using http://translate.google.com = ¿dónde está su casa
translate to Spanish using API = ¿dónde está su casa

in my google API response the Spanish text characters are not correct. I don't know why?

Thank you very much

Translate API is returning your text encoded in UTF8, yet you are reading it in Latin1 (ISO-8859-1). For instance, in UTF8, the character 'á' is encoded into two bytes, C3 A1. In ISO-8859-1, C1 is decoded to  and A1 is ¡. Change the encoding of your text reader to UTF8 and it should work.
