How to get a link to a Google Translate translation

google-translatelinks

I was able in the past to do that, but I can't find how anymore.

Best Answer

All I had to do is to click in the "Translate" button and the URL was updated. The instant translation doesn't update the URL.

The URL format is:

http://translate.google.com/#origin_language_or_auto|destination_language|encoded_phrase
or
http://translate.google.com/translate?js=n&sl=auto&tl=destination_language&text=encoded_phrase

If you want to translate a webpage, use:

http://translate.google.com/translate?js=n&sl=auto&tl=destination_language&u=http://example.net

destination_language must be a language code, like en for English or pt-BR for Brazilian Portuguese. You can also set a value for sl (source language) instead of "auto".
