I am going to use the Bing Translate API – (unfortunately Google translate API isnt free).
First, download “java library”. Place this in your libs folder.
We need the Client Id and Client username from the Microsoft MarkerPlace. You can get this from: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/translation/p/gettingstarted1.aspx .
You’ll get the complete code from here:
Add these permissions in your manifest file
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" /> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />
This is your main activity class:
public class MainActivity extends Activity implements OnInitListener {
private TextToSpeech tts;
Locale[] locales;
String listLocales;
String selectedLanguage;
String[] langList = new String[9];
Language languagelist;
final int Arabic = 1, Hindi = 2, French = 3, Russian = 4, German = 5,
Chinese = 6, Japanese = 7, Italian = 8, Spanish = 9;
ArrayList<String> listOfLanguage = new ArrayList<String>();
public int postion;
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
locales = Locale.getAvailableLocales();
String[] langListForDialogBox = { "Arabic", "Hindi", "French",
"Russian", "German", "Chinese", "Japanes", "Italian", "Spanish" };
for (int i = 0; i < langListForDialogBox.length; i++) {
listOfLanguage.add(langListForDialogBox[i]);
langList[i] = langListForDialogBox[i];
}
tts = new TextToSpeech(this, this);
((Button) findViewById(R.id.bSpeak))
.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
speakOut(((TextView) findViewById(R.id.tvTranslatedText))
.getText().toString());
}
});
((Button) findViewById(R.id.selectLangButton))
.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
AlertDialog.Builder singlechoicedialog = new AlertDialog.Builder(
MainActivity.this);
singlechoicedialog.setSingleChoiceItems(langList, 0,
new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int item) {
postion = item;
listOfLanguage.get(item);
switch (item) {
case 0:
languagelist = Language.ARABIC;
break;
case 1:
languagelist = Language.HINDI;
break;
case 2:
languagelist = Language.FRENCH;
break;
case 3:
languagelist = Language.RUSSIAN;
break;
case 4:
languagelist = Language.GERMAN;
break;
case 5:
languagelist = Language.CHINESE_SIMPLIFIED;
break;
case 6:
languagelist = Language.JAPANESE;
break;
case 7:
languagelist = Language.ITALIAN;
break;
case 8:
languagelist = Language.SPANISH;
break;
default:
languagelist = Language.FRENCH;
break;
}
dialog.cancel();
}
});
AlertDialog alert_dialog = singlechoicedialog.create();
alert_dialog.show();
// set defult select value
alert_dialog.getListView()
.setItemChecked(postion, true);
}
});
((Button) findViewById(R.id.bTranslate))
.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
class bgStuff extends AsyncTask<Void, Void, Void> {
String translatedText = "";
@Override
protected Void doInBackground(Void... params) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
try {
String text = ((EditText) findViewById(R.id.etUserText))
.getText().toString();
translatedText = translate(text,
selectedLanguage);
} catch (Exception e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
translatedText = e.toString();
}
return null;
}
@Override
protected void onPostExecute(Void result) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
((TextView) findViewById(R.id.tvTranslatedText))
.setText(translatedText);
super.onPostExecute(result);
}
}
new bgStuff().execute();
}
});
}
public void displayListView() {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
}
public String translate(String text, String selectedLanguage)
throws Exception {
Translate.setClientId("Nishanttyest"); // Change this
Translate
.setClientSecret("OO5K4SEmwrrfR3P9pAmJCBEvl94kkwMCkJXeN3IwsG4=");
String translatedText = "";
// Language ll = selectedLanguage;
translatedText = Translate.execute(text, languagelist);
return translatedText;
}
@Override
public void onInit(int status) {
if (status == TextToSpeech.SUCCESS) {
int result = tts.setLanguage(Locale.ENGLISH);
if (result == TextToSpeech.LANG_MISSING_DATA
|| result == TextToSpeech.LANG_NOT_SUPPORTED) {
Log.e("TTS", "This Language is not supported");
} else {
// speakOut("Ich");
}
} else {
Log.e("TTS", "Initilization Failed!");
}
}
private void speakOut(String text) {
tts.speak(text, TextToSpeech.QUEUE_FLUSH, null);
}
// if button is clicked, close the custom dialog
}
Your XML file will be like this
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" >

</RelativeLayout>
