Answered How to use translator with RSS feed to export to my website

    I was able to use babel fish in Yahoo pipes.  I aggregate news and need to translate the title and description in an RSS feed to stream in my website's rss reader.

    any thoughts?

    Hi Judy,

    the owner of the Translate module in Pipes would have to adjust the module to use Microsoft Translator. Not sure if you can provide your own module.

    What about creating a script in YQL (yahoo has composer which dovetails into Pipes) and authenticate through Microsoft translator to obtain the access key?  What would be next?  RSS has four or five fields (title, description, author, date). 

    Assuming we can obtain the access key to translator, wouldn't this just be an ajax get post query?

    Hello Chris...

    Finally found this after hours searching for fix.. I can't be the only one!

    As Judy mentioned, the Yahoo Pipes Translate function is Gone.. yet the need to input a feed in one language and return - importantly, as RSS/XML format - in another.. continues.

    I have joined both here, and via new Azure devs platform, looking for 'best simple migration path' to achieve that result. It would be a Great Help if you have 'any' suggestions or pointers as to how we move forward with this..?!?

    Many Thanks in advance for your kind and considerate efforts in this regard.

    Not sure if this helps, but the authentication scheme for accessing translator would need to be implemented in Pipes first.

    Here's a similar example: http://nagiworld.net/2008/11/oauth-ify-this-2-legged-oauth-service-for-yql

    Theoretically, at that point, the Translator API could be called from within a pipe, but I am not sure...
