Update Microsoft Translator to v2 #1507

Open dwaynebailey opened 14 years ago

dwaynebailey commented 14 years ago

Microsoft has released v2 of their API for the Bing Translator: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff512419.aspx

They are vague about when v1 will be phased out, but 90 days seems to be hinted at.

There are quite a few changes: 1) GetLanguages -> GetLanguages for Translation http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff512416.aspx

2) Might want to investigate GetTranslations This returns both MT and TM results. Although it doesn't seem to work currently on HTTP.

3) Data returned as XML. We need to be able to read and - can't find any Python libraries to do this.

Dwayne, should this be on our radar for Virtaal 0.7?

Friedel it seems to still work OK. I'm not sure when v1 will expire, their previous promises have not materialised. So no not 0.7 I think, lets wait.
