TranslatorFilter

Automatic translation of ASP.NET application. Not only from one language to other. See sample application that replaces all strings to [n] text.

Text in web application will be translated using files: text_original.txt (created automatically when navigating running application) and text_translated.txt. This files located in App_Data folder.

To translate text in application: open text_original.txt, copy its content to google translate, copy translation to text_translated.txt (save as UTF-8) and run application again.

If you want translate only strings, that contains symbols from specific alphabet (for example Russian) open XmlDictionary.cs at line 51 and set your alphabet, then uncomment lines 56, 65 and 66. Currently program translate all text.
