Paid version of Google Translate API now open for business : http://googletranslate.blogspot.com/2011/08/paid-version-of-google-transla te-api.html
"Back in May, we announced the deprecation of the free Translate API v1. Today, we¹re introducing a paid version of the Google Translate API for businesses and commercial software developers. The Google Translate API provides a programmatic interface to access Google¹s latest machine translation technology. This API supports translations between 50+ languages (more than 2500 language pairs) and is made possible by Google¹s cloud infrastructure and large scale machine learning algorithms.
...The paid version of Translate API removes many of the usage restrictions of previous versions and can now be used in commercial products. Translation costs $20 per million (M) characters of text translated (or approximately $0.05/page, assuming 500 words/page). You can sign up online via the APIs console for usage up to 50 M chars/month.
Kind Regards,

My apologies for the recent non-functioning state of the automatic list translation software. By an unfortunate coincidence, Google's translation interface stopped working at about the same time that I updated the software to make the changes mentioned in my note of August 2. (Google had announced earlier that this could happen at any time.)
It took a while to convince myself that the failures weren't simply a flaw in the code. But ultimately I backed out all the changes I had made, and the failure continued.
It seems unlikely that Google will completely abandon the work they did in this area, so one might expect that a different (possibly commercial) implementation will be available presently. However there are of course no guarantees.
In the meantime I have modified the code to use the old Alta Vista "babelfish" interface, to at least get some functionality back on line.
As always, please don't hesitate to contact me, David Closson, or "tech-support@icann.org" if you experience problems.
