That may be your problem > right there. That was it! The reason I put it there was to get rid of the properties. I replaced it with `substring-no-properties' but it seems that isn't needed either. The reason I thought it was needed is: put the region around this word: spiderweb - and hit M-w (`kill-ring-save'). Now evaluate: (message "%s" (current-kill 0)) this will show: #("spiderweb" 0 9 (fontified t)) now evaluate: (message "%s" (substring-no-properties (current-kill 0))) and get the desired: "spiderweb" however this: (progn (kill-new "spiderwebs") (message "%s" (current-kill 0)) ) also gives no properties! So perhaps it is an interactive/noninteractive issue as in a string (as *data*), regardless how it is showed, there aren't any properties. Anyway, thank you. Here is the most recent edition: (defun translate (src-lang dst-lang text) (interactive) (let ((killed kill-ring)) (google-translate-translate src-lang dst-lang text 'kill-ring) (let ((translation (current-kill 0))) (setq kill-ring-yank-pointer killed) (message "%s: %s" text translation) ))) -- underground experts united http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573
