using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Data;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Linq;
using System.Net.Http;
using System.Net.Http.Headers;

{
public partial class Form1 : Form
{
public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
try
{
textBox2.Text= TranslateText(textBox1.Text);
}
catch(Exception){
}
}
public string TranslateText(string input)
{
// Set the language from/to in the url (or pass it into this function)
string url = String.Format
("https://translate.googleapis.com/translate_a/single?client=gtx&sl={0}&tl={1}&dt=t&q={2}",
"en", "hi", Uri.EscapeUriString(input));
HttpClient httpClient = new HttpClient();
string result = httpClient.GetStringAsync(url).Result;
// Get all json data
var jsonData = new JavaScriptSerializer().Deserialize>(result);
// Extract just the first array element (This is the only data we are interested in)
var translationItems = jsonData[0];
// Translation Data
string translation = "";
// Loop through the collection extracting the translated objects
foreach (object item in translationItems)
{
// Convert the item array to IEnumerable
IEnumerable translationLineObject = item as IEnumerable;
// Convert the IEnumerable translationLineObject to a IEnumerator
IEnumerator translationLineString = translationLineObject.GetEnumerator();
// Get first object in IEnumerator
translationLineString.MoveNext();
// Save its value (translated text)
translation += string.Format(" {0}", Convert.ToString(translationLineString.Current));
}
// Remove first blank character
if (translation.Length > 1) { translation = translation.Substring(1); };
// Return translation
return translation;
}
}

Hi Sachin Thanks for your reply but I am looking for a multilanguage desktop application, not a translator.
like when we switch websites from one language to others it will be converted to that language using translator API like that. is it possible in a desktop app without resource file and maintaining data in n nos languages?
