Yahoo YQL Web JSON Google for Two Translate Share Tutorial<\/p><\/div>\n

Today we continue on with Yahoo Web Services called YQL, building on previous tutorial here at Yahoo YQL Web JSON Google for Two Translate Speech Tutorial<\/a> as shown below. The name is the way it is because it simplified the API aspects of its functionality for the developer to concentrate on SQL, and I’m really supportive of this concept. You don’t have to output in JSON, as other data forms like XML are acceptable. Let’s see what Wikipedia says about YQL below. <\/p>\n

Yahoo! Query Language (YQL) is an SQL-like query language created by Yahoo! as part of their Developer Network. YQL is designed to retrieve and manipulate data from APIs through a single Web interface, thus allowing mashups that enable developers to create their own applications.[1]<\/p>\n

Initially launched in October 2008 with access to Yahoo APIs,[2] February 2009 saw the addition of open data tables from third parties such as Google Reader, the Guardian, and The New York Times.[3] Some of these APIs still require an API key to access them. On April 29th of 2009, Yahoo introduced the capability to execute the tables of data built through YQL using JavaScript run on the company’s servers for free.[3]<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

So this tutorial uses a YQL web service into the data emanating from its links to the Google Translate google.translate database with Yahoo YQL website … thanks. You join up with a person talking in another language, share the computer, or tablet, and type your single sentences, one at a time, into your relevant HTML textarea element, get it translated into the other language, which you’ve first selected from a dropdown, and then the other user has their go … if you want you can be totally silent (but probably laughing a lot). We extended the functionality yesterday to allow the users to hear an audio interpretation of their words in a window.open<\/a> popup window calling on the amazing Google Translate Text-to-Speech functionality<\/a>. Today we further extend functionality by allowing the users to save their conversation session to share with others, optionally, by sending these friends or interested parties an email that will recreate the conversation scenario with a link they activate off the email.<\/p>\n

The two big PHP functions of use for this are:<\/p>\n
