[unknown_zero]

hi, I'm trying to automate Google Translate using Mechanize,
the problem is when I'm trying to translate from French to English a (à) character will be translated to %E0 (?) character in the URL
how to correctly convert that foreign character?

Welcome unknown_zero!

You could have a look here:

Maybe the module is helpful.

But is Google or mech giving you the %E0 ?

Can you check with just your browser?  If it's Google, you're dead.

From what I see, %E0 is a form feed. that is not a good sign.

thanks, it fixed now
it seems the problem is in the uri_escape function that I use,
when I change it to CGI::escape it works fine
