how to track text entry in windows using c# /c#.net

mthuywin

Hi guys

I would like to develop an application that tracks all the text input
in windows (including those in MS Office apps and in IM clients) and
translates them into another language. I plan to use C# to develop the
app but i don't know which API i should use to track the text input in
Windows. Therefore I would be very grateful if anyone of the group can
provide me with information regarding how I can solve the above
mentioned problem. Help of any kind is greatly appreciated.

Thanks so much in advance and I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Regards

I don't think it's possible to implement hooks in C# (or .Net), unless I am
missing something...
