Hi, Any idea, why am I getting error 503 on my vps server as well as on my openshift account? On localhost it works fine.

No idea

@lucas03 Could be blacklisted by google, try going to the webpage manually in a browser.

Thanks for this script, @mouuff, after google decided to block the /translate_a/ url on me, this saved me from hours of searching for a different approach while keeping it simple.

yep, since google translate has paid service, google keeps large database of public ips that are blacklisted. Also if you find working proxy, after few translations proxy is temporarily blocked. Thanks for code anyway.
