Several (simple) words don't get translated about google-translate-php HOT 6 CLOSED

Well, that's weird. Those words are translating with no problem, but an empty result error occurs on some languages.

from google-translate-php.

I think I have found the solution for this case.
So if Google Translate does not return the result, we add some special characters to the string and then send it to Google, then remove the special characters in the result.

Example:
'Physics' from 'en' to 'vi', return false;
'Physics $$$' from 'en' to 'vi' , return 'Vật lý $$$';
remove ' $$$' => 'Vật lý'

Maybe it's somehow related to $urlFormat parameters? Honestly, I just copied this URL from http://translate.google.com/ and I have no idea what means the multires=1&otf=1&pc=1&trs=1&ssel=3&tsel=6&sc=1 part in URL

I have the exact same problem. I however have debugged it to the json_decode in the static function staticTranslate:

$result = preg_replace('!,+!', ',', self::makeCurl($url)); // remove repeated commas (causing JSON syntax error)
$resultArray = json_decode($result, true);

With the use of 'json_last_error_msg ()' I got this error: "unexpected character". The json returned from the example above is this:

[[["en","en","","en"]],"ru",[["en",[1],true,false,1000,0,1,0]],[["en",1,[["en",1000,true,false]],[[0,2]],"en"]],[,"ен",[6]],2]

As you can see, there is a "[,", at the end just before 'ен'. This is the Google Translate's suggestion which is automatically returned. This is invalid json syntax however (according to PHP).

Adding this line before the json_decode() fixes the problem (not thoroughly tested though!):

$result = str_replace ("[,", "[", $result);

So this will be the new code:

$result = preg_replace('!,+!', ',', self::makeCurl($url)); // remove repeated commas (causing JSON syntax error)
$result = str_replace ("[,", "[", $result);
$resultArray = json_decode($result, true);

from google-translate-php.

I had the same problem, an empty value returned by Google. I fixed it in the same way as you did and it's working fine for me.
