Hi, I have a bunch of big txt files (game walkthroughs) that I need translating from English to French. My first instinct was to host them on a server and use a PHP script to automate the translation process by doing a file_get_contents() and some URL manipulation to get the translated text. Something like:

http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=fr&sl=en&u=http://mysite.com/faq.txt

I found it poses two problems: 1) there are frames 2) the frame src values are relative (ie src="/translate_c?....") so nothing loads.

Is there any way to fetch pages translated via Google in PHP (without using their AJAX API as it's really not suitable here)?
