How I used Google Translate to save the client both time and money

In this session of “what I’ve automated with AutoHotkey” I explain how I saved my client a ton of time and money by using the Google Translate API.

How I used Google Translate to save the client both time and money

Below is the code I used in the code to Google Translate to save the client both time and money.  Make sure you put my Excel function library and Maestrith’s Notify function in your library.
