Google Translate API outputs HTML entities

Question

FRENCH: Vente préfixe d'ID est un champ obligatoire

Is there a way to have goog

Answer 1

If you specify format Text, content inside HTML tags will be translated as well. Assume your input is:

This is a link

then example and path will be translated as well, which breaks the link.

To avoid this and fix your problem, stick with format HTML and unescape the text you received back from google translate. In php you might use html_entity_decode.
