Subject: Options for translating languages within perl scripts

Hi,

I've been tasked with massaging a large batch of French-language MARC recor=
ds from a vendor.=A0 Aside from the usual MARC field manipulation/cleanup w=
e usually do with perl, I've been asked to run the 520 field through a tran=
slation routine/API, etc. to convert (possibly crudely) from French to Engl=
ish.=A0 I thought that Babelfish or=A0http://api.yandex.com/translate/doc/d=
g/reference/translate.xml might be options, but Babelfish appears to be dea=
d, and when I clicked to get the required key for the yandex API, the link =
led to a dead end. =A0

Is anyone incorporating POST queries or other methods to translate fields i=
n MARC records?=A0 I'd appreciate any leads or pointers.

Thanks in advance,
