Google Translate Server

!!!DEPRECATED!!!

After a lot of "googling", I'm sorry to confirm that similar approaches are NO LONGER WORKING now. And you HAVE TO own a Google Developer account for the simple task.

BUT! DO try out the DeepL API! As far as my uses cases are concerned, it works a lot better than Google Translate! Everyone end up here comes for the same reason, and I hope DeepL can be a better successor for you!
