well, the google translate api is still scheduled for shutdown dec 2011 http://code.google.com/apis/language/translate/overview.html... google wastes its and our time with games from yesterday ... well at least we know now what their priorities are. in a way i pitty google, they were great once, now they are just ... facebook
