Translation allowance restrcition?

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Hi all, I can successfully run the example provided in the project homepage of 
this website. But I have a big question which I have not yet find a answer. 

Can anyone help answer this question please, if possible:

Can I use this translation api to translate text collection (for example, 
thousands of news in plain text format) without restriction? Translation speed 
or quality is out of problem. I just hope the program will not be crushed down 
due to the day allowance restriction.  I mean is there day allowance (such as 
each day, a user can only call the translation function 100 times or can only 
translate 50,000 words in total) or text size allowance (each translation 
calling can only translate at most 1000 words) for this api?  If there is such 
limitation, how can I overcome this problem? 

Many thanks in advance

I actually tried this out. Using this api to translate a English collection 
into Chinese, after processing about 200K text, it crushes down by reporting " 
Google returned the following error: [403] Suspected Terms of Service Abuse. 
Please see http://code.google.com/apis/errors". 

Is there any way to break this limitation and let the API can handle unlimited 
amount of translation?

This program only rely on google translate API which of course limit you in 
terms on characters per day. Check the terms of use of google API but I 
remember something like 100K characters per day.

If you use the latest jar with an API key I think you should be able to pay for 
usage beyond any quota limit now.
