I am looking for a language translator API for my project. I don't want to use the Google Translate API.
Can anyone suggest another? An open source translator would be better.
you can use Bing (Microsoft) machine translation engine.But it is almost the same as translate.google.com Or, you can make your own english-nepali machine tanslation system (engines), e.g.use this:
http://www.statmt.org/moses/
But, it will costs yo a lot of effort and time (question is whether it is worth of it).
Here is some discussion what options do you have if looking for some language translator for not-so-common language:

I am looking for the API for Simple-Wikipedia. Is the Wikipedia API PyPI is the same one I need? I am a bit confused
Yes, the API should work with this library as well, as long as it supports all Wikipedia versions. The "language code" you should use for simple Wikipedia would be simple, instead of, e.g., en for the english Wikipedia.
You can find a list of supported wikis, as per the documentation of the API, here. The column "Wiki" is the information you need to pass as the language code.
Example (based on the documentation):
import wikipediaapi
wiki_wiki = wikipediaapi.Wikipedia('simple')
page_py = wiki_wiki.page('Programming_language')

I wanted to know the spell correct api's available for commercial/non commercial usage other than google/bing.
First of all you can write your own spell corrector with this tutorial. In addition there are some Python packages that may help you with that, such as TextBlob (which I highly recommend). Another option is Gingerit which Iv'e never tried but looks promising. Another DIY spell correct tutorial might interest you as well.

I just launched this, so it's still beta, but it's not bad. It has a dictionary of over 600,000,000 entries covering most non-Asian languages.

Is there a service/library (free or paid) that takes a piece of text and return the language of it?
I need to go over a million blog posts and determine their languages.
I think this is the best out there!
https://code.google.com/p/language-detection/
I've heard good things about langid.py.
Features from the README:
Fast
Pre-trained over a large number of languages (currently 97)
Not sensitive to domain-specific features (e.g. HTML/XML markup)
Single .py file with minimal dependencies
Deployable as a web service

http://www.webopedia.com/ is what I'm looking for, but it doesn't offer an API. Are there similar services which offer APIs?
DuckDuckGo has an open API which is quite flexible: take a look at https://duckduckgo.com/api. Using their "define" syntax, it's possible to get back word definitions. For example,
http://api.duckduckgo.com/?q=define+ostensibly&format=json&pretty=1
...would get you back a definition for "ostensibly" in JSON format.
The WordNik API (http://developer.wordnik.com/) is also pretty good for word definitions.

Is there a document editor that helps formatting documents like API documents or specifications?
I prefer not to use Word but something that is more productive.
LaTeX is particularly well-suited to technical documents, I find.
Depending on the language you use, specially for API documentations, I'd use XML comments and then use a program like SandCastle and SHFB.
