The concept that I hope to realize is the mining of Google Translate results. Let me explain:

I want to run my VPS constantly to scrape for the Google Translate results of an alternative language. The website often returns sentences and words when you enter special characters into translate (with detect language), as some of you might already know; I want to 'mine' these results to compile a list of sentences and words found for Google translate for a project I have.

Would anyone have an idea on how to do this?
Any tools used created by the HackForums community will have their feature and mention on an essay that I hope will attract a lot of attention. All help is greatly appreciated as I want to begin the mining process as soon as possible.

Thanks.

If you're not too familiar with programming you can use something like imacro to automate the entering into the browser.

They do have a paid API for google translate so they will definitely try to limit you if you spam it too hard, so watch out for that.

Noted with the spam. I guess I'd do it by hand for about 10 minutes to know it's safe for manual spam, then work on having a tool do it slightly faster.
I wouldn't know how to create a tool, and I don't know a lot about APIs. I'm not a programmer but this is a very interesting concept that is related to computers, so I'm hoping that a programmer will help.

Please refer to the Service Requests section if you want something done. We could help with the code you already have here or give you guidance.

You can use Python as it has a library already built and would be the easiest to start with if you don't have much experience programming. Take the following code (https://pypi.python.org/pypi/googletrans):

Code

from googletrans import Translator
translator = Translator()
translator.translate('안녕하세요.')

This will return the translate text and then you can do something with it, like show it on your website. Obviously, you'll need to change it so it does it automatically and uses strings passed from your users.
