wget with Google TTS with Chinese not working

[Mike Ahrens]

Hello,

Trying to use this wget command line:

wget -q -U Mozilla -O .\MP3\medicine.mp3_1 "
http://translate.google.com/translate_tts?ie=UTF-8&total=1&idx=0&textlen=32&client=tw-ob&q=++%2C+%E8%8D%AF++%2C++&tl=zh-tw
"

I only hear back garbage -- not understandable Chinese,


But in the browser the exact URL line used above is:

http://translate.google.com/translate_tts?ie=UTF-8&total=1&idx=0&textlen=32&client=tw-ob&q=++%2C+%E8%8D%AF++%2C++&tl=zh-tw

and it sounds very good

Can you provide some help on why wget is not getting the Chinese
pronnuncistion right.

if you try similar wget commands with English, it works fine.

Thanks,
Mike
