Google API is not free anymore as of Dec 1, 2011.

What happened to earlier free versions of Translate API? Google Translate API v1 is no longer available as of December 1, 2011 and has been replaced by Google Translate API v2. Google Translate API v1 was officially deprecated on May 26, 2011. The decision to deprecate the API and replace it with the paid service was made due to the substantial economic burden caused by extensive abuse.

See developers.google.com/translate/v2/faq#pricing

The Microsoft Translator API is free of charge with a maximum amount of 2M characters per month which is not really suited for our case (since we should enable unlimited users to use our app).

8. What throughput tiers of the Microsoft Translator API will be available via Windows Azure Marketplace and Azure Store? What is the pricing model?

Pricing is based on a monthly subscription model. A FREE volume tier and paid tiers are available on the Microsoft Translator API offer page on Windows Azure Marketplace or for Azure customers, through Azure Store.

2M characters / month: FREE 4M characters / month: $40.00 USD 6M characters / month: $60.00 USD 8M characters / month: $80.00 USD 16M characters / month: $160.00 USD 32M characters / month: $300.00 USD 64M characters / month: $576.00 USD 128M characters / month: $1,058.00 USD 250M characters / month: $2,055.00 USD 500M characters / month: $3,995.00 USD 635M characters / month: $5,000.00 USD 1 Billion characters / month: $6,000.00 USD

Pricing is based on a monthly period and you will automatically be billed every month until you cancel your subscription. A subscription month begins on the Subscription Start Date and a new subscription month begins on that same date the following month.

Additional information about how to use the API can be found on msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff512387.aspx.

I was not able to find information about a leo.org-API, but maybe there is one and it would be great to do some additional research here.

the GoogleTransllateModule should not translate to eng, it should translate to the systemlanguage (if possible)
