Working with Google.Translate, I encountered the following problem: in response to a request like translate.google.ru/translate_a/t?client=x&text={TEXT}&sl={LANG_FROM}&tl={LANG_TO } (thanks to comrade) the service issues a message containing the following string: "\u0421\u0402\u0421\u0453\u0421\u0403\u0421\u0403\u0420\u0454\u0420\u0435\u0420\u2116".

How can you get ordinary characters from this string using PHP, in particular, this string should be in the form of "Russian"?

Why not run it through json_decode?

I didn't check, but I did two things:
1. www.google.com.ua/search?client=opera&rls=en&q=php+decode+unicode+like+%5Cu&sourceid=opera&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8
2. clicked on first link: stackoverflow.com/questions/2934563/how-to-decode-unicode-escape-sequences-like-u00ed-to-proper-utf-8-encoded-cha
But judging by the answer: "Thanks a lot, works perfectly !:)" should work
