To figure out what's going on with your actual issue, we're going to need a

something that will demonstrate what's going on.
Re: the limit on the string that you can translate, there is indeed a
5,000-character
limit on the string the API will translate, which is mentioned in a number of
places
in the TOS, issue tracker, and group, though I'm not sure it's actually in the
documentation. There are, however, a couple of provisos about that limit that
must be
noted. First, it is 5,000 characters AFTER the string is url-encoded. This can
be a
significant thing in a number of languages. And second, the full 5,000 character
limit is only available via the RESTful interface, using the POST method to
submit
data. Via the JS side of the API, for technical reasons, you must use GET, and
so all
of the data including the string to be translated is passed via the url. MSIE
imposes
a limit of a little more than 2,000 characters on URL lengths, and Google has
put a
limit of 2,000 characters on all the urls that its servers will process. So if
the
API path + all other parameters + your url-encoded string > 2,000 characters,
you
won't get a response.

We never heard back but since the HTML tags were mentioned it sounds like this
might be related to issue 149.
