EasyTranslate v0.1.1 

The project has existed for a little bit, but now I think most of the kinks are ironed out, and its ready for use.

EasyTranslate is a Ruby binding for the Google translate/detect APIs (http://code.google.com/apis/ajaxlanguage/). Its different than other libraries that do the same for a few reasons:

• 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

# woah, really?
EasyTranslate.translate('Hello, world', :to => :spanish) # => "Hola, mundo"
 
# what about 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 CALL TO THE API
EasyTranslate.translate('hello', :to => EasyTranslate.LANGUAGES.keys)
