Google Translate API for .NET 0.4 alpha - Translate function: argument list error

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. In .Net 3.5 after unzipping the 0.4 version package i add the required 
dlls.
2. I write the following code in C# (given as a sample).
string text = "我喜欢跑步。";
TranslateClient client = new TranslateClient("www.google.com");
string translated = client.Translate(text, Language.ChineseSimplified, 
Language.English);
Console.WriteLine(translated);

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The expected outcome is the translation of the Chinese text into Englis 
i.e. "I like running"
Instead I get the error that Translate function takes 2nd & 3rd argument 
as string ojects. I have checked out the documentation & that really is 
the case. However i cannot seem to find any way to convert Language class 
object to string class object.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
I am using .Net SP1 & Google Translate API for .NET 0.4 alpha. The OS is 
windows professional 7 (32 bit).

Please provide any additional information below.
I have done the same using 0.2 version of the API. It works there since 
the translate function takes the 2nd & 3rd arguments as Language objects & 
not as strings.

Hi sadiash,

Google.API.Search.Language.ChineseSimplified can convert to string implicitly.

You can try v0.3.1 if v0.4alpha not works.

GoogleTranslateAPI_0.4_alpha.zip does not work because missing cast operator in 
Language.cs add 
 public static implicit operator string(Language value)
        {
            return value.Value;
       }
at 599 line in Language.cs to fix this

No, Chupakabr.
I've the implicit operator in super class Enumeration.

eration.cs#116

It must be something wrong about ILMerge.

I had the same error ("[response status:400]invalid translation language 
pair"). I found that replacing the "Language..." parameters with their string 
equivalents fixed the error. As I was translating from russian to english, I 
used the following:

string translated = client.Translate(GetOriginalText(hncRow), "ru", "en")

Its working beautifully now :)

client.Translate(text, "zh_CN", "en");

It's may be problem with ISO codes, you can still use it with valid ISO codes.
