Im looking for a script to buy or find that is a language translator.
From looking around the net i have found this slangcode thing. Does anyone know what it is, where your get it. Or any other laungage translators that you could buy that would be like a one time fee?
Here is some pages for the slangcode.

Do you know of any ohter way to do it.
Even something that may be a one time fee.
Can you do it with javascript mabey??

I'm sure there are other companies / ways to go about doing it, but the same basic method will still apply. Translating languages is NO easy feat, it takes some seriously advanced programming logic and a massive database of related languages.
JavaScript is simply not an option I'm afriad - it would be about the same as writing a job search engine, such as "monster.com" entirely in JavaScript, where all of the millions of bytes of data are hardcoded. Or in non-computer terms, it would be like single-handedly building the Great Wall of China with one arm and a toothpick.
The Full Monty (http://www.systransoft.com/Products/) solution I mentioned before is a one time fee. Buy it once, and you can use it all you like.
Concerning sLangCode, that's nothing more than a variable that site is using to indicate which language they want to display. The web site you're looking at isn't actually translating it's language. What it's really doing is "pulling" different language items and verbiage from different databases, depending on what the sLangCode is.
Absolutely no translation is taking place, believe me.
