Google Translate limitation

[Christopher Z.]

Hello,

Google Translate API is now paid for using. But there is still
available google chrome extension "Google Translate" which use some
service to translate whole webpage.
I found that service:
http://translate.googleapis.com/translate_a/t?anno=3&client=tee&format=html&v=1.0&logld=v7

and working when i send POST with my data.

And my question is, can i use this service to my chrome extension.
Google can block my extension for using this service ?

Technically, you can almost surely use that endpoint. But legally is another question. Google has discontinued the free Translate API for public use. With no terms of use for the endpoint that you've found, you essentially do not have permission to utilize it for your own purposes. Google can develop products that use their own service, but without permission, it is illegal for you to do so.
