They gave the wine, they produce.

Hi Fingo, hi all,

I have just extracted the intelligence out of Fingo's link
to have a script, which expects an url and gives the babelfish
link for the translation.


#!/usr/local/bin/perl -w
use URI;
use strict;
sub usage {
print <<EOF;

usage: $0 <url> <translatemodus>

e.g. : $0 http://www.where_ever.arg/index.html en_de

EOF
exit;
}
my $url=$ARGV[0];
my $tl =$ARGV[1];

$tl="en_de" if not $tl;
usage if not $url;
my $u1 = URI->new("$url",
                "html");
my $base=$u1->authority;
my @parts=$u1->path_segments;
my $target  ="http://babelfish.altavista.com/urltrurl?url=http%3A%2F%2
+F";
$target .=$base;
foreach (@parts) {
       $target .= "%2F$_" if $_;
}
$target .="&lp=$tl&tt=url&urltext=&doit=done";
print "$target\n";

just a quick hack, I don't know if I ever use this, but maybe
there are some folks who appreciate this.
