In an effort to support our schools' English Language Learners (ELLs) and their non-English Speaking parents, I was wondering if it is possible to automatically capture the body of an email (we use GMAIL) and insert it into a hyperlink in the signature as a variable.

The end goal would be for the parents to receive the email, click on the link to translate it, and have the source box of Google Translate already populated with the email body. All the parent would need to do is select their target language.

So, for example, in GMAIL, if I have a message:

Hi Trish,

What do you think?

Allan

With a signature of: Click here to read this message in your preferred language

Click <a href a="https://translate.google.com/?sl=auto&tl=es&op=translate">here<a> to read this message in your preferred language.

What I would like to have happen is for the hyperlink to automatically grab the text from the email and build the signature hyperlink like this:

Click <a href a="https://translate.google.com/?sl=auto&tl=es&text=Hi%20Trish%2C%0A%0AWhat%20do%20you%20think%3F%0A%0A-Allan%0A&op=translate">here<a> to read this message in your preferred language.

Is this possible? Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Allan
