== Install  
gem install easy\_translate

== Why not rtranslate or rsay?

- Only Ruby binding to have support for Bulk Translations
- Only Ruby binding to offer POST support for long translations
- Supports every option in the API, especially API keys and user\_ip,  
which most Ruby bindings skip over.
- Has an extremely clean syntax (see below)

== Examples

# =\> “Hola, mundo”

EasyTranslate.translate(‘Hello, world’, :to =\> :spanish)

# batch translation? =\> [“¡Hola”, “Despedida”]

EasyTranslate.translate([‘Hello’, ‘Goodbye’], :to =\> :spanish)

# what if you’re even crazier? =\> [[‘¡Hola’, ‘Despedida’], [‘Ciao’,

‘Addio’]]  
EasyTranslate.translate([‘Hello’, ‘Goodbye’], :to =\> [:es, :it])

# translate something into every language in Google Translate

# with a single API call

EasyTranslate.translate(‘hello’, :to =\> EasyTranslate.LANGUAGES.keys)

== Thanks
