Does the Java API support the API as required by Google?

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Hi

This page mentions an API key is required for use:

http://code.google.com/intl/en/apis/language/translate/v2/getting_started.html

Does the Java API support setting an API key? If not, how do we set it?

Thanks.
Ken

I have the same problem with a java app getting the 403 error.  I requested and 
have the api key but there is no way to set the key in the java api.  Is there 
any way around this issue?   Should I use http calls instead of the java api to 
get the translated text?

There's an updated jar here (hopefully) with support for setting API keys for 
use with the Translate API here:

https://github.com/downloads/cs02rm0/google-api-translate-java/google-api-transl
ate-java-0.94.jar

Just run GoogleAPI.setKey("KEY_VALUE"); before running an execute method.

There's a separate jar which it depends on here:
http://mirrors.ibiblio.org/pub/mirrors/maven2/org/json/json/20090211/json-200902
11.jar

Should work, any problems come back and update this and I'll take a look.

The updated jar google-api-translate-java-0.94.jar is not available in the 
link: 
https://github.com/downloads/cs02rm0/google-api-translate-java/google-api-transl
ate-java-0.94.jar

How can I get that?

Apologies, it had moved here: 
https://github.com/downloads/richmidwinter/google-api-translate-java/google-api-
translate-java-0.94.jar

But I've put it in the Google Code downloads now too.

I want to translate a large ApplicationResources.properties file. I did set API 
key in every transaction. But after certain amount translated it is returning 
Google returned the following error: [403]
Suspected Terms of Service Abuse.

How can I get rid of that. Plz help

What I finally did to get my application resource file translated was to use 
Microsoft's Bing Translator WebService API.  It didn't have any issues with 
this type of 403 error.

Hi, cannot get this to work, Im using v0.9.5, Ive signed up for Google Billing 
for the Transalte API and added the GoogleAPI line before calling yor transaltor

GoogleAPI.setKey("API_KEY");
String result = Translate.execute(convertedEnglish, Language.ENGLISH, 
googleLanguage);

But Im still getting the quota problem, what am I doing wrong ?

I have exactly the same issue as Paul.
v0.95

GoogleAPI.setKey("*MyGoogleApiKey*");

And always get:
java.lang.Exception: Google returned the following error: [403] Quota Exceeded. 
 Please see http://code.google.com/apis/language/translate/overview.html

I have enabled Billing with Google.
I have set my Google API Key into Translate.
I have even upped my per/user and billable limits.
And I have configured the traffic filters to match the Translator#HttpReferrer

Has anyone managed to get this work now that it has been restricted and 
requires billing? If so, how?

Ah, I think this is becasue 0.95 supports V1 of the Google API, but the key 
provided when billing is enabled is for V2.

There is another issue 
http://code.google.com/p/google-api-translate-java/issues/detail?id=152 that is 
a request to support V2.

Plz enable billing by provide credit card details. Once the billing details get 
verified by google wallet, only then you can use Google translation API.
