Hi

the below code works on all language except english to arabic (it works arabic to english)
what is wrong in this code?? or can anyone suggest a alternate code for translating english to arabic

Code:
Function ConvertToGet(val As String)
    val = Replace(val, " ", "+")
    val = Replace(val, vbNewLine, "+")
    val = Replace(val, "(", "%28")
    val = Replace(val, ")", "%29")
    ConvertToGet = val
End Function
Function Clean(val As String)
    val = Replace(val, """, """")
    val = Replace(val, "%2C", ",")
    val = Replace(val, "'", "'")
    Clean = val
End Function
Public Function RegexExecute(str As String, reg As String, _
                             Optional matchIndex As Long, _
                             Optional subMatchIndex As Long) As String
    On Error GoTo ErrHandl
    Set regex = CreateObject("VBScript.RegExp"): regex.Pattern = reg
    regex.Global = Not (matchIndex = 0 And subMatchIndex = 0) 'For efficiency
    If regex.Test(str) Then
        Set matches = regex.Execute(str)
        RegexExecute = matches(matchIndex).SubMatches(subMatchIndex)
        Exit Function
    End If
ErrHandl:
    RegexExecute = CVErr(xlErrValue)
End Function

Public Function Translate(rng As Range, Optional translateFrom As String = "en", Optional translateTo As String = "ar")
    Dim getParam As String, trans As String, objHTTP As Object, URL As String
    Set objHTTP = CreateObject("MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP")
    getParam = ConvertToGet(rng.Value)
    URL = "https://translate.google.pl/m?hl=" & translateFrom & "&sl=" & translateFrom & "&tl=" & translateTo & "&ie=UTF-8&prev=_m&q=" & getParam
    objHTTP.Open "GET", URL, False
    objHTTP.setRequestHeader "User-Agent", "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.0)"
    objHTTP.send ("")
    If InStr(objHTTP.responseText, "div dir=""ltr""") > 0 Then
        trans = RegexExecute(objHTTP.responseText, "div[^""]*?""ltr"".*?>(.+?)")
        Translate = Clean(trans)
    Else
        Translate = CVErr(xlErrValue)
    End If

How to create a cell-sized chart?
Tiny charts, called Sparklines, were added to Excel 2010. Look for Sparklines on the Insert tab.
I have found another one but english to arabic is not working.

any one please fix it
HTML:
Function Translate_To_Arabic(Rng As Range) As String
' Tools Refrence Select Microsoft internet Control

    Dim IE As Object, i As Long
    Dim inputstring As String, outputstring As String, text_to_convert As String, result_data As String, CLEAN_DATA
    Set IE = CreateObject("InternetExplorer.application")
    '   TO CHOOSE INPUT LANGUAGE
    inputstring = "auto"

    '   TO CHOOSE OUTPUT LANGUAGE
    outputstring = "ar"

    text_to_convert = Rng.Text
    'open website
    IE.Visible = False
    IE.navigate "http://translate.google.com/#" & inputstring & "/" & outputstring & "/" & text_to_convert

    Do Until IE.ReadyState = 4
        DoEvents
    Loop

    Application.Wait (Now + TimeValue("0:00:5"))

    Do Until IE.ReadyState = 4
        DoEvents
    Loop

    CLEAN_DATA = Split(Application.WorksheetFunction.Substitute(IE.Document.getElementByID("result_box").innerHTML, "</SPAN>", ""), "<")

    For j = LBound(CLEAN_DATA) To UBound(CLEAN_DATA)
        result_data = result_data & Right(CLEAN_DATA(j), Len(CLEAN_DATA(j)) - InStr(CLEAN_DATA(j), ">"))
    Next

    IE.Quit
    Translate_To_Arabic = result_data
End Function

IE.Document.getElementByID("result_box")
IE.Document.querySelector(".tlid-translation.translation")
VBA Code:
'
' CLEAN_DATA = Split(Application.WorksheetFunction.Substitute(IE.Document.getElementByID("result_box").innerHTML, "</SPAN>", ""), "<")
CLEAN_DATA = Split(Application.WorksheetFunction.Substitute(IE.Document.querySelector(".tlid-translation.translation").innerHTML, "</SPAN>", ""), "<")
' or
CLEAN_DATA = Split(Application.WorksheetFunction.Substitute( IE.Document.querySelector(".tlid-translation.translation").innerText, "</SPAN>", ""), "<")
