I thought they announced that they were going to launch a paid Translate api?
Esrauch is right — but they have not announced details.
That is right, at least not yet. I have a vague recollection of reading some details of how the substitute API would work, but that must be spurious since Google have officially left the matter open to now.
You mean no google replacement translation API? What about bing or mygengo or wordlingo?
