[SOLVED] Translate text using vba

Translate text using vba

Probably could be a rare petition, but here is the issue.

I am adapting an excel of a third-party to my organization. The excel is developed in English and the people of my organization just speaks Spanish. I want to use exactly the same code that the original worksheet have, I prefer don't touch it (although I can do it), so I want to use a function that every time that a msgbox appears (with the text in English), I translate the msgbox messages but without touching the original script. I am looking for a mask that could be called every time that a msgbox is invoked in the original code.

I prefer don't touch the original code because the third-party developer could change it frequently, and it could be very annoying to change the code every time that they do any little change.

Is that possible?

Solution

Here you go.

Sub test()
    Dim s As String
    s = "hello world"
    MsgBox translate_using_vba(s)

End Sub

Function translate_using_vba(str) As String
' Tools Refrence Select Microsoft internet Control


    Dim IE As Object, i As Long
    Dim inputstring As String, outputstring As String, text_to_convert As String, result_data As String, CLEAN_DATA

    Set IE = CreateObject("InternetExplorer.application")
    '   TO CHOOSE INPUT LANGUAGE

    inputstring = "auto"

    '   TO CHOOSE OUTPUT LANGUAGE

    outputstring = "es"

    text_to_convert = str

    'open website

    IE.Visible = False
    IE.navigate "http://translate.google.com/#" & inputstring & "/" & outputstring & "/" & text_to_convert

    Do Until IE.ReadyState = 4
        DoEvents
    Loop

    Application.Wait (Now + TimeValue("0:00:5"))

    Do Until IE.ReadyState = 4
        DoEvents
    Loop

    CLEAN_DATA = Split(Application.WorksheetFunction.Substitute(IE.Document.getElementById("result_box").innerHTML, "</SPAN>", ""), "<")

    For j = LBound(CLEAN_DATA) To UBound(CLEAN_DATA)
        result_data = result_data & Right(CLEAN_DATA(j), Len(CLEAN_DATA(j)) - InStr(CLEAN_DATA(j), ">"))
    Next


    IE.Quit
    transalte_using_vba = result_data


End Function
