I'm looking for a PHP translation script from an experienced programmer, similar to the Wordpress Global Translator plugin (which I think uses SOAP): http://www.nothing2hide.net/wp-plugins/wordpress-global-translator-plugin/ However I want something that is stand-alone, and does not require WordPress. It should be a script that can be easily included into an existing script using 'include', and where one can choose to translate either a string of text or a URL, translate either with Google or Babelfish, which language to translate from, which language to translate to. e.g. do_translate('some example text', $is_url=FALSE, 'Babelfish', 'en', 'de') would return 'etwas Beispieltext'. The script should check URLs for redirects and such like the Global Translator plugin does, as well as return an error if the language codes are invalid (depending on the translation engine chosen). If a URL is translated, it should fix the links. Post or PM your rates and experience, etc. as well as how long you estimate time to completion will be.
Another requirement that I forgot to mention is that the function should be able to use authenticated proxies when connecting to the translation services. The input paramaters would be proxy ip, proxy port, and optionally username and password.
