M8, Python is way better suited as a scripting language. You could even launch Google with the default browser instead of Chrome.

I know @anon68632391 just for some reason i have way more fun when i do stuff in batch

You should learn some Python. It’s really easy to learn it. Here is how you would open your URL in Python:

url = 'http://www.python.org/'

# Open URL in a new tab, if a browser window is already open.
webbrowser.open_new_tab(url + 'doc/')

# Open URL in new window, raising the window if possible.
webbrowser.open_new(url)

what if you could take the value that the translator puts out and put that in the batch so you don’t have to go on the internet O:
probably hard to make

I am not sure if this is possible with batch

It’s probably impossible with batch. But there is a Python-API for that:
https://developers.google.com/api-client-library/python/apis/translate/v2

Here is some example code:

@anon68632391 I ported it to python tell me if the code is ok

Nice, can’t test it right now, but it should work.
Implementing the Google API is a bit more complicated than this because you have to create a dev account etc.
