Prior to version 1.1, this plugin was powered by the Google Translate API. As of 1.1, Microsoft Translator is the translation engine that powers this plugin. Google has announced that their Translation API is deprecated and all services will cease on 12/1/2011. If you are using a version of Grails Translate < 1.1, I strongly urge you to upgrade. The Microsoft Translator API is free to use and comes with generous hourly and daily limits.

Translate - Language Translation Plugin for Grails

Description

The Translate plugin provides a Grails Service, TagLib, and Controller to enable translation of text within your Grails application.

This plugin is powered by the Microsoft Translator API with the help of microsoft-translator-java-api, a compact, fast Java library that wraps the Microsoft Translator AJAX Services.

The TranslateService is backed by a configurable Least-Recently-Used (LRU) Cache to reduce the API calls made, particularly for oft-repeated translations (if you're dynamically translating I18N messages to foreign languages, for instance).

Prerequisites

• Must obtain a free Bing Developer AppID at the Bing Developer Center
