since i can not find any documentation on this stuff that helps any  
i’m taking a stab at doing this…

```
@gapiTranslate = ActiveResource::Connection.new("http://

```

[translate.google.com](http://translate.google.com)", ActiveResource::Formats[:json])  
@gapiTranslate.get(“/translate\_t?q=hello&v=1.0&sl=en&tl=it”)

and it keeps returning INVALID JSON STRING in the browser… am i  
making the request to good incorrectly or something… is this even  
the right way to achieve what i hope it looks like im trying to do?
