Using Yahoo Pipes & Google Translate to translate a Twitter search into any language

Posted on August 8, 2010 by Gabe Sumner

This weekend I was playing around with Yahoo Pipes and created the following pipe:

Translate a Twitter search into any language

This pipe accepts a search parameter and a desired language. The Twitter search results are then sent to Google Translate for translation into the desired language. The source language is auto-detected, by Google Translate, for each Tweet.

 

Yahoo Pipe results that Translates Twitter search into any language

I found a lot of language translation pipes, but these other pipes required you to select the source AND target language.  This is useless when the the data comes from Twitter (the language will vary per tweet).  Google Translate does an incredible job of auto-sensing the language.  I’m making use of this to create the desired functionality.
