Google language translation API

[kandarp mehta]

I am using Google Transalation API to convert String from one language to another. I have already set Translate.setHttpHeader() value, then also it gives below exception.

java.lang.Exception: [google-api-translate-java] Error retrieving translation.

Anybody know solution of this exception? Or anybody knows any API which convert from one language to another in java?

Is there anything else in the stack trace?

I did a quick google on the exception your getting, a few of them have had a "caused by" then a URL, does your stack trace have that?

Have a look here, it is a quick tutorial and several people have posted regarding the error : http://www.techiegyan.com/?p=279

Also, it would probably be worth the investment to get the google API working, since their translation service is quite good. Maybe Yahoo or BabelFish provide something similar..

You can't connect to the service, plain and simple. Try to find out to what host and port the service is trying to connect, then try connecting using telnet:
- open a Command Prompt
- type in "telnet HOST PORT" where HOST and PORT are the Google API host and port. For instance, "telnet www.google.com 80" to test Google's website.

If you can also not connect this way then you should check your firewall, or contact your system administrator.
