I have this too.  The problem is that the text to be translated is send by a 
GET request.  Using a POST request would solve this issue.  The question is if 
this is a) supported by the api and b) allow by google

Well you can go around by breaking the string in smaller parts  ( I used 400 
chars ) translate each (in a loop of some kind maybe)and then sum them up
