GoogleFish Ruby gem usage, how it works with Sinatra

google_fish_and_sinatra.rb

get '/translate' do
    doc = open(params[:url]) { |f| Hpricot (f) }  
    doc.search("//iframe").remove
    doc.search("//script").remove
    doc.search("//.headline_meta").remove
    doc.search("//frameset").remove
    article = (doc/".post").inner_html
    
    google = GoogleFish.new('YOUR-API-KEY')
    @result = google.translate( params[:language_from], params[:language_to], 'Good night, sleep tight')
 erb :translated
end

So that's how I use it and it works. I put the static text instead the article to save on the API consumption while testing. If I use HTML code in the text it gets removed. :html => true does not work, that throws error.
I tried :format => html but nothing happens. I would like the text to be translated with html code being left intact inside.

google.translate( params[:language_from], params[:language_to], 'Good night, sleep tight', :format => 'html') that works

The html: true option isn’t directly passed to the Google API, it’s internally converted to format=html - the second example you give here will not pass the format option to the API endpoint. If you could raise an issue (https://github.com/onthebeach/google_fish/issues) I'll take a look when I have some free time

Thanks for the comment. I tried and now it seems to be working.

Only does not work when I pass on the @Article variable in my program, but if I pass in a small text with html tags, it works fine.

I tried to run it from irb and got these errors:
