Problem with Google.translate

[Bernard Enjolras]

Hi, 

I tried to use pattern.web Google translate without success. 

>>> from pattern.web import Google

>> g=Google(license='[here I put my key obatined from Google api, which I tested using Google api python sample])

>>> g.translate('bonjour', input='fr', output='en')

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "<pyshell#29>", line 1, in <module>

    g.translate('bonjour', input='fr', output='en')

  File "/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/pattern/web/__init__.py", line 987, in translate

    raise HTTP401Authentication, "Google translate API is a paid service"

HTTP401Authentication: Google translate API is a paid service

I can't figure out what is wrong and would appreciate some help. 

Thanks a lot.

Hi Bernard,

Sorry for the late reply. 

My first guess would be: did you activate Google Translate in the API console?

The console is here:

https://code.google.com/apis/console/

You can click on "Services" and set the "Translate API" to "on". That should do the trick.

Best,

Tom

We found a bug in Google.translate(), which is why it is not working for you. I'll update the latest revision on GitHub.
