Google added AJAX to Google Translate?

admin — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 19:02:16 +0000

I used Google Translate a lot, to translate text from English to Chinese, or from simplified Chinese to Traditional. The process was like: you typed in text you had -> clicked the Translate button -> the page would help you to translate and then displayed the result.

Today, when I use google translate, I find that as soon as you put in a character, it will help you to translate. So I guess google has added AJAX function to the page, when you put anything into the text area, it will trigger the translation function, and begin to pull out data from the database(or something like that). It’s a quite interesting and useful example of using AJAX.

To make superscript text in html, use tag, like: yunsite^1,2,3

To make subscript text in html, user tag, like:yunsite_1,2,3

I have a pdf form, and here’s what i want to do: after people fill out the form, they click submit button, and the form will be attached to a email as .pdf file.

I figured out how to do that after i searched online for a while. Here’ s what i did, and i am using Acobat 9 Pro:

1. Forms > Add or Edit Fields

2. Add new field > button

3. For Actions, choose Select Trigger: Mouse Up, Select Action: Submit a form, then enter URL: mailto: myemail@mydomain.com. Export Format : PDF The Complete Document.

Here’s an article that might help: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Acrobat/8.0/Professional/help.html?content=WS3593E0A4-C5E2-4cde-A09E-2A984346DDD2.html
