Translating content

[Paul Lewis]

Hi,

Im not sure if this is possible but thought it was worth an ask,

Im using the RichTextBox to visualize .docx files, I have a requirement for some translation of the files.  I like the look of the microsoft translator service http://sdk.microsofttranslator.com/SOAP/Translate.aspx but im not sure how to access the text content of the control to then put the api call in to translate it

Do you think this would be possible?

Thanks

[Mike]

Hello Paul Lewis,

Here is how you can export the content of RadRichTextBox to plaint text that you may then with this translation service:

using Telerik.Windows.Documents.FormatProviders.Txt;

...

public string ExportToTxt( RadRichTextBox textBox )
{
   TxtFormatProvider provider = new TxtFormatProvider();
   return provider.Export( textBox.Document );
}

More information about import/export and  format providers can be found here:

All the best,
