Text Translate Script using Google

[Jesse]

I need help. This code was working but suddenly stopped one day.

The website where script is being used ::
http://www.xtranslate.info/

Anyone knows how to fix this?

This is the contents of translate.php

<?php
function getstring($a,$b,$c){ 
$y = explode($b,$a);
$x = explode($c,$y[1]);
return $x[0];
}
// Check if form has been submitted
if($_REQUEST['txt']){
    ini_set("max_execution_time", 0);      // no time-outs!
    ignore_user_abort(true);            // Continue downloading even after user closes the browser.
    $text = stripslashes($_REQUEST['txt']);
    $lang1 = $_REQUEST['lang1'];
    $lang2 = $_REQUEST['lang2'];
echo translate($text,$lang1,$lang2);
} 
else { echo "<center>You can't access this file directly! redirecting to home page now.</center>";     
?><meta http-equiv="REFRESH" content="3;url=index.php"><?
exit;}
        function translate($text,$lang1,$lang2){
$query = "js=n&prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&sl=$lang1&tl=$lang2&text=$text";
        $ch=curl_init();
        //curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1);
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "http://translate.google.com/translate_t?");
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $query);
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, "Mozilla/5.0");
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_ENCODING , "UTF-8");
        $output = curl_exec($ch);
//       echo $output;
        curl_close($ch);
if ($lang2=="ar" || $lang2=="iw") {
$body = getstring($output, "<table><tr><td valign=top>noun</td><td>", "</td></tr><tr><td><a");
if ($body==""){
$body = getstring($output, "<div id=result_box dir=\"rtl\">", "</div>");
}
$prefix="<br><br>";
$body=$prefix.$body;
return $body;
    }

if ($lang2=="fr") {
$body = getstring($output, "<table><tr><td valign=top>noun</td><td>", "</td></tr><tr><td><a");
if ($body==""){
$body = getstring($output, "<div id=result_box dir=\"ltr\">", "</div>");
}
$prefix="<br><br>";
$body=$prefix.$body;
return str_replace("é", "é", $body); }

else {
$body = getstring($output, "<table><tr><td valign=top>noun</td><td>", "</td></tr><tr><td><a");
if ($body==""){
$body = getstring($output, "<div id=result_box dir=\"ltr\">", "</div>");
}
$prefix="<br><br>";
$body=$prefix.$body;
return str_replace("é", "é", $body); }
}
?>

Normally, I'd say that if you want help, include a description of both the behavior you expect and the behavior you get. In this case, I won't offer any help. The script probably breaks Google's Terms of Service and might be illegal. Passing of Google's translation services as your own is certainly unethical.

besides... computer translators are a complete waste of time because of their horrible inaccuracies. I have a suggestion though, if you know a different language, do a paid or free translation service via forms or email. An example site is learn-croatian.com. Instead of doing something illegal, it helps people and is more accurate. Just a thought though.
