The Auto Translate module - <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://drupal.org/project/i18n_auto">http://drupal.org/project/i18n_auto</a> -
translates content in a text form, so that editors may translate
content before a node is submitted. It currently has the same bug
you're describing, although that should be fixed soon (already fixed in
PHP5, but not yet for PHP4). Also, the module has several GHOP tasks,
visible from <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://drupal.org/project/issues/i18n_auto">http://drupal.org/project/issues/i18n_auto</a> - to bring the
module out of development. It will ultimately support other translation
services besides Google as well.<br>

Idan,<br>
<br>
I would like to point out that there is an existing module which does
exactly what you described, it's called gtrans.

style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">I've
encountered a problem that I was hoping someone would have an idea how
to solve….when
I translate a text that has "special characters", mainly those that
aren't
English, and I try to display them, I get characters that are black
diamonds. When
trying to display those using drupal with drupal set message, something
strange
happens, it seems like drupal just ignores the entire function. I'm
trying to
print it out of a nodeapi hook, and the when I do all the other
drupal_set_messages aren't displayed, even those that come before. </span></font></p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align: left; direction: ltr;"><font

style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">Anyway,
I think I've isolated the problem to the encoding of the characters,
but I
don't know how to solve it. I see the characters with the black
diamonds when I
print_r($translation), in this case I only see them. And when ever I
try to drupal_set_message
them I don't see anything. </span></font></p>
