I've a student developer exploring Microsoft Translation API from Flash Builder (for Mobile) or AS3 using I suppose best description would be AJAX.
Miraculously I somehow have got translations returning.
Here is an actual example to test with (on topic with the thread)...
As a developer I'm attempting to use XML to encapsulate multiple translations at one time.
These are initially simple menu items titles.
Bing translator...
<td>
<obj>
Options
</obj>
<obj>
Timer
</obj>
<obj>
Users
</obj>
</td>
returns...
which despite the confusion of Options is the desired result...
<td>
<obj>
Options
</obj>
<obj>
Minuterie
</obj>
<obj>
Utilisateurs
</obj>
</td>
However the Microsoft API returns...
<td>
<obj>
Options de
</obj>
<obj>
Timer
</obj>
<obj>
Les utilisateurs
</obj>
</td>
which is totally wrong and unusable.
The big question is why are these different?
