i would like to have designed a chrome extension or an app where you give a bunch of urls and it goes to the body of the page and takes down all the text except sidebars, categories and other stuff, then it takes the text and it puts it into bing translate and you get the final translation.
i guess something like that does not exist and i would need to find someone building it up for me ?
should i go to upwork and find someone ? which keywords should i use ? "scraping? "

Take a look at a website called import.io i think you can scrap around 10,000 items free each month. Great interface and easy to use tool.

Yeah, this is definitely a job for scraping. Python and Ruby are both really good languages for writing scrapers. Ruby has the Nokogiri gem and Python has BeautifulSoup + Mechanize. Could also probably hook it up to Google Translate via API.

I can help build this for you, depending on your budget. Message me on Skype: valerianxx

Interesting project!

Interesting idea. You could definitely break it up - start with scraping, then post it into a translation tool with another program.
