Question

Answer 1

A:

My guess is : Google might be checking to see the user agent. They would do it to discourage automated programs and any DOS attacks.

Nope, that's not it.

@Johannes Rössel You are correct. My mistake.

Answer 2

+4 A:

The & character is a special character for the shell. Try quoting the argument instead:

Process q=Runtime.getRuntime().exec(
    "cmd /c start \"\" \"http://translate.google.cn/translate?hl=zh-CN&amp;sl=zh-CN&amp;tl=en&amp;u=http%3A%2F%2Fnews.baidu.com%2Fns%3Fword%3D%25B0%25C2%25B0%25CD%25C2%25ED\"");

Note the empty quotes in front of the argument; they are necessary for start.

By the way, you can easily try out whether your command line works at all by copying it into the command line and watching the result. In your case it produced the following:

H:>cmd /c start http://translate.google.cn/translate?hl=zh-CN&amp;sl=zh-CN&amp;tl=en&amp;u=http%3A%2F%2Fnews.baidu.com%2Fns%3Fword%3D%25B0%25C2%25B0%25CD%25C2%25ED
'sl' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
'tl' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
'u' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

which gives pretty good clues about what goes wrong here.

However, if you are on Java 6 you can also use the browse method of the Desktop class. This has the benefit of working on other systems than Windows as well.

This works well, I retract my answer

@Kurresmack, I tend to just try it out which usually quickly tells me what exactly goes wrong. Especially helpful in vague question situations :-)

Joey 2010-03-17 20:17:08

Yeah I had a similar problem today at work (tho not too similar cause it wasn't programming relates) that the url did not work. Then the solution was to copy the url unframed... Should have tried it this way however. Tried using cmd just before you edited your post and got the same result :(

Oskar Kjellin 2010-03-17 20:19:25

@Johannes can you also format the code in the question, to keep the SO awesome? :)

Answer 3

+1 A:

I would say that it because it is framed. Try right clicking the translated page and get the URL that way
