Get Community Translations function in Custom Translator - microsoft-translator

I can't find such function in the Custom Translator portal. Will be be introduced sometime later next year or this "Get Community Translations" function currently available in MS Hub won't be supported in V3 anymore?
Thanks,
Simon

It won't be supported in V3 of the Microsoft Translator Text API. Custom Translator includes the Dictionary functionality that may the closest option.

Accessing Google Maps URL outside the Javascript API

I have a web app and have successfully configured it to access google maps from this URL outside the JavaScript API using this URL:
http://mt0.google.com/vt/lyrs=y&hl=en&x={x}&y={y}&z={z}&s=Ga
The app uses the imagery as background in a PDF report that members of the public can download - this is going to be a free service.
I contacted Google Maps support to ask them if this was allowed under their Terms of Services Agreement but they have referred me to here.
Could I please get an answer as to whether this is allowed or whether I need to enter into a licensing agreement or subscription - and if so what kind? Or alternatively refer me to where I am best to direct this inquiry.
There must be a miscommunication with regards to your concern when you reached out to the support team of the Google Maps Platform API, I would highly recommend that you file another support case via https://console.cloud.google.com/google/maps-apis/support as only the support team of the Google Maps Platform can share more knowledge about your concern as this will require internal investigation as well.

Do you need to migrate to Drive API when using https://spreadsheets.google.com/feeds/

The 22nd of January, I received an email with the subject 'Important: Steps to migrate from discontinued Documents List API' from Google Apps .
Important: Steps to migrate from discontinued Documents List API
Hello administrators,
We recently communicated that Documents List API will be discontinued on April 20, 2015. This change means that service calls for this API will no longer be supported, and any Google Apps features that are implemented using this API will no longer function.
Our records indicate that you may have an application that uses Documents List API, and we recommend that you migrate to Drive API, which has comparable
functionality, as soon as possible.
Here's what you need to do:
Determine if you have an application that makes requests to these
types of URLs:
https://docs.google.com/feeds/
https://docs.googleusercontent.com/
https://spreadsheets.google.com/feeds/
Migrate the applications to Drive
API. If you have questions
about migration, please contact Google Apps for Work Support.
Sincerely, The Google Apps for Work Team
I think it says that applications using https://spreadsheets.google.com/feeds/ should migrate to the new Drive API. But in the new Drive API, this URL is used too:
https://developers.google.com/google-apps/spreadsheets/#sheets_api_urls_visibilities_and_projections
Is there a typo somewhere in the URL either in the email or Drive API documentation?
Or is this email saying that when you determined you used any of these URL's you're OK?
PS: I opened a case at Google but I fear a late response, so I asked here.
Short answer is no.
The Docslist API is being discontinued because it has been replaced by the Drive API. In the case of the Spreadsheet API, there is no replacement API (yet - maybe one day), so it remains supported.
The only gotcha is that at some point, only OAuth 2 will be supported for authentication/authorisation so if you're using OAuth 1 or u/p, you have some work to do.
The official Google response is that the Spreadsheets API will continue to function after the 20 April shutdown:
"Apologies for the confusing email. The sheets API is not yet deprecated and will continue to operate beyond the April shutdowns."

different options available for developing language translation app in WP8

I have googled and found 2 options. But Google translation API's are paid now. Microsoft has free API's but its not supporting TELUGU and TAMIL languages.
Some of the apps are translating text into these languages
http://www.windowsphone.com/en-us/store/app/type-tamil/69e961a3-b60c-4335-b9c0-a378065eaa8e
Any idea what are the other translation options.
Thank you.
I think they are using Bing or google translator.Microsoft provide APIs that can be called with HTTP or SOAP. Please check this links:

Or you can use Google translator also see this for more information : http://developer.nokia.com/community/wiki/Google_Translate_in_Windows_Phone
You can use Multilingual App Toolkit. But it support specific language like English,French, Korean.

Google Maps iOS SDK - Search for places

I'm new to both iOS programming & the Google Maps iOS SDK, so apologies if this is a basic question.
I want to include a Google map, in an app and give users the ability to search for various places (restaurants, bars, gyms, etc) within a certain radius of a marker.
I know this is possible using the javascript api, but can it be done using the maps iOS SDK? I have read all of the information here and have searched Stack Overflow & Google but I can't really find anything that gives me any pointers.
Within the documentation, Google say that using a URL Scheme you can launch a native iOS app and pass in parameters for searches, directions etc. Is this what I need to be using, or is that more tailored to a webapp?
Any help, advice, or pointers to tutorials (other than the ones provided by Google) would be massively appreciated.
Cheers
The Google Maps URL Scheme can currently only be used to open the Google Maps app to search for a location or for directions. It can't search for places. Also, if your own app did this, then it would shut down your app and switch to the maps app, which may not be what you want. It will also only work if the user has installed the Google Maps app.
You would probably want to use the Google Places API to make http requests from your native app. You can request a response in either JSON or XML format. Then you'll need to parse the response, and use it to add markers to a GMSMapView using the Google Maps SDK for iOS.
This blog post describes this library which the blog post's author wrote to wrap the Google Places API. You wouldn't need most of this code, but it might give you an idea of where to start. This class is the main one which handles the requests to the places API.
Note that this library uses a third-party JSON parser - SBJsonParser. As of version 5.0 iOS includes a native JSON parser, NSJSONSerialization. So if your app's minimum supported iOS version is 5.0 or higher, you don't need to use a third-party library.

Google-Maps JSF support and other support

We have been using GMaps4JSF 1.1.4 in our application using JSF on JBOSS EPP 5.1. It seems to be working fine but during some testing we found that:
If we search for 'al raha beach' in google maps, it returns correct address.
But if we search same thing in our application (using gmaps4jsf), nothing is coming; blank map is shown.
Same behavior is seen when we search 'al raha beach' on gmaps4jsf demo i.e. on http://www.mashups4jsf.com/gmaps4jsf-examples/pages/getMyLocation.jsf.
We found some other issues also similar to above problem.
I posted question on gmaps4jsf issues list but nobody is responding there. We are looking for answers of following question:
Is gmaps4jsf is officially supported by Google for using maps with JSF or it is a kind of community version??
Is some team actively supporting the issues found in gmaps4jsf??
We want to upgrade to Google Maps version 3.0 - i.e. GMaps4JSF 3.0.0; When can we get this upgraded gmaps4jsf??
What is Google Maps (maps.google.com) using internally?? Is there an option to provide users the same user experience which they get on maps.google.com - if yes then using which APIs??
If you can answer any of above problems, then please. Many thanks for responding.
GMaps4JSF is not a Google library. It is an open source project powered by community members. In order to make sure that your question will be answered, you need to post your questions to the mailing list: gmaps4jsf-dev#googlegroups.com.
About GMaps4JSF 3.0.0, we are expected to release it by the end of this year hopefully.
