Hi,

I can't post that code, as its all over the place (part of the API for the database in the script I'm using). I know that code works fine normally, as I've used UTF8 charachters loads). The problem has to be something to do with this code.
If I do: 
my $string = Do_Translate("en","fr",'are you');
 
use Data::Dumper;
print Dumper($string,'êtes-vous');

I see: 

$VAR1 = 'êtes-vous';
$VAR2 = "\x{ad25}s-vous";

Argh its driving me up the wall!

BTW, here is the actual JSON data thats getting passed back: 

                      'translations' => [
                                          {
                                            'translatedText' => "\x{c3
+}\x{aa}tes-vous"
                                          }
                                        ]
