@Ajay: According to the docs, if you specify an empty string for the srcLang, it will auto-detect. There’s also a method you can call to detect the language.

I googled alot for the same , but no hope from any where…..it really helped me alot…

Rather I would say the best example to learn the JSON framework + Google Tranlation.

Still I had one query …how can I we convert any language text to Enlish….Is there any keyword for the same!!!

Thanks alot Ray for the tutorial.

@amok: Ah ok. In that case, you’re in luck, if you look at the API docs, it says that you can pass in HTML content and it will preserve the tags for you:

thanks Ray – What I am trying to do is to leave the page as it is just translating the text. Same exact experience that you get from Google when you translate a URL/page.

@amok: You can get the contents of a web page with NSURLRequest and NSURLConnection APIs, then you can pass the results to the Google Translate API like the tutorial above. However, you’ll probably need to do some work to scrape the HTML to pull out the contents of interest to make this actually worth using.
