New AJAX APIs: Visualization and Language
API, Office, Roundup, Translate March 21st, 2008 - By Haochi
The Google Code team released add two new APIs to the AJAX API family this week, the Visualization API and Language API. The Google Visualization API enables users to use the API to create visualizations from raw data using SQL-like queries with the API and it is integrated into Google Spreadsheet so that you can include the visualizations in the Spreadsheet.
The other one, Google Language API, offers language translation and detection for all the languages that Google Translate supports - currently at 13 language and 29 language pairs. Basically, they stole the idea that I stole from them. :) Of course, they got everything covered.

Hi, I used your unofficial Translate API for a while. I’ve started trying to hack together something useful with the new API here.

Haochi, you should sue them because they stole your idea! A former Google already did it for Google Sky :-P
