I am building a website in wordpress. I wish to use google's multilingual API in it.
Is there a ready made plugin available for this? If yes please provide links.
If there is any other way please let me know. The website will be built in wordpress.
I don't know if this was what you where looking for:

I am looking for a WordPress plugin/theme that offers similar functionality to this website: https://secure.heathrow.com
The search would essentially be the same, leading through to a few options which you can then book/purchase via a payment merchant.
I have ploughed through wordpress.org plugins section, and had no joy.
If anyone can recommend or know of anything similar, as has any type of solution I would be most grateful! :)
Thanks
You will not find a specific WordPress plugin tailored to that type of search and purchase function. If you look at the source code for that site (in Chrome, View -> Developer -> View Source), you will see that the main script that is running the search is an .asp script (Microsoft product). This is likely a custom built site.
There are some plugins that will help you with e-commerce on the WordPress platform such as WooCommerce, Shopify, WP Ecommerce, etc, all of which do charge fees for the services provided in the plugin. Many people who run e-commerce sites often find developers to work with them to build something more custom than these platform plugins can provide.
Instead, look for a search function plugin in WordPress to go through your database, then evaluate the e-commerce platform plugins for a functional match. A good rule of thumb in WordPress is that if you can't find an exact plugin for what you want, try to break the pieces down into components and search for a plugin for each of the components.
I'd like a more capable search for my website. My current search is unable to ignore spelling mistakes and since our site is a multi lingual we really need this capability. Google has a great way of doing this.
I'm aware of the Google custom search, how do I install this to drupal without installing a module?
Thanks in advance!
Here is the documentation for how to add GCS to your web site by pasting some code into your template (or a block or node)
https://developers.google.com/custom-search/docs/element.
I did this method on http://www.greens.org.nz/ so see that web site for a working example.
I'm working on a site that is built in WordPress and I want to add ecommerce functionality. I have some products, and need a backend for these products so I'm using wp-ecommerce plugin - but how do I use this functionality on frontend?
If anybody has any ideas how to make a shopping related site in WordPress then please let me know.
I would suggest you to go straight to the source and talk to the guys that did it
http://www.instinct.co.nz/e-commerce/
and see some video tutorials on the subject
also, you can try different methods, for example, if it's a simple shop why not give FoxyCart a go seeing this good screencast from CSS Tricks

I saw in wordpress some APIs being published for developers. What could a developer gain by using those APIs?
I think you've taken API to mean something similar to what Flickr and Vimeo do, which they are not. They are simply ways for you to access and ammend core functionality of the Wordpress platform, so as to bend it to do what ever it is you need it to do.
There are ways to pull data from your blog to a mobile devise, but that is a very different question.
Wordpress API are for those that want to develop a theme, or writing custom plugins for Wordpress.
Either way, you can use to integrate Wordpress in your exisiting php site, using the powerful backend as an administration tool and the using the API to retrieve the content and present it in your (already) website.

I am creating a twitter plugin for wordpress and I was told that when using oauth you can't really make the plugin act natively because each time the user installs the plugin they have to add their own twitter api credentials because of the callback url. Is this correct? Or is there a workaround for this?
Thanks for your help in advance!
Any number of Twitter plugins use oauth; they would be good to check out for the necessary code and techniques: WordPress › Twitter WordPress Plugins
