Google has introduced Ajax Language API. This new API boasts two functions, language translation and language detection - which cover 13 languages and 29 translation pairs. With the AJAX Language API, you can translate and detect the language of blocks of text within a webpage using only Javascript. The language API is designed to be simple and easy to use to translate and detect languages on the fly when offline translations are not available. They plan on adding more exciting capabilities to the AJAX Language API in the future, so stay tuned.

I have been waiting for this Language API from Google Translator for a long long time. Now we are able to translate our web pages, paragraphs or even words into different languages in real time. The Language Detection function comes in very handy as well. How exciting is that!

Smart Image Resizer allows us to resize and crop any image on our websites without touching the actual image or writing any code. We upload each image (JPEGs, GIFs, and PNGs) once at a high enough resolution and can then reuse it at any size we want, anywhere we want. It doesn’t matter if the images are in a post, on a page, or in a template file, it just works. All of the magic is done through the query string part of the URL in the src attribute of the img tag.
