Google Translate API no longer free; will need to migrate #30

Closed embolalia closed 12 years ago

embolalia commented 12 years ago

As mentioned by @ubertaco in issue #6, the Google Translate API is no longer free. We'll need to move to something else.

We should probably pass this up to myano, right?

ubertaco commented 12 years ago

That's what I'd recommend.

Mentioned this to yano in IRC. Another user mentioned a possible reason why it still works:

yano: jenni is pretending to be Firefox when using translate. Maybe that has something to do with it possibly sbp and someone else figured it out It's pretending to be Firefox 2 though, you should upgrade your fake user agent! According to https://code.google.com/apis/language/translate/overview.html the API hasn't been free for months. I don't claim to know how it works, but the change obviously hasn't affected it. Closing the issue until it actually stops working.
