This isn't a defect. Read the exception. It says Invalid Translation Language 
Pair.

That means you can't translate from that source to that destination.

E.g. You can't do Swahili to Uzbek.

You need to look for this error and deal with it as appropriate in your code

This IS a defect.  Also the sample code does not work, Translating from English 
to German for instance is completely valid.

Translate(string, string, string) does not work at all with
client.Translate("word", Language.English, Language.German) as the Language 
objects aren't strings either.

I also have to say that this is a problem.

TranslateClient client = new TranslateClient("");
translated = client.Translate(str, Language.English, Language.German);

is not valid because the Translate method only accepts strings for all 
arguments, not Language objects.

trying

TranslateClient client = new TranslateClient("");
translated = client.Translate(str, Convert.ToString(Language.English), 
Convert.ToString(Language.German));

Does not work either as you end up getting the error about invalid language 
pairs.

Types do not match up between the method and the Language objects, and also 
doing the next logical thing of Convert.ToString on the Language objects does 
not work...

I am unable to use this API as it currently is.

Ok Found the porblem
There is a bug in the api. 
Translate method of the TranslateClient accepts strings for language 
definition. 
However 
Google.API.Translate.Language.Greek is enumeration that is not implicitly 
converted to the correct literal. 

The solution was to give the correct strings manually: 

String Text = translateClient.Translate("Έλα Μάνα", "el", "en")

false.

Hi friends,

here is the code I used to translate English to Oriya

            string str = "I belong to orissa";

            Google.API.Translate.TranslateClient client = new Google.API.Translate.TranslateClient("http://www.google.co.in");
            str = client.Translate(str, Google.API.Translate.Language.English.ToString(), Google.API.Translate.Language.Hindi.ToString());
            Response.Write(str);

but i got the error stating invalid language pair.

Please let me know how to solve the issue
