Google translate API demand into cash #google #api #developers

Unknown

Looks like Google listened to the feedback they got after they announced back in May they were going to shut down their popular translation API. A blog post from Google confirms it is back, as a paid for service.

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.
