terms of use question

[cf]

Hi,
I would like to create a J2ME application that uses the translation
API, similar to this:

I'm not sure if i'm allowed to do this in a commercial product.
Can you please clarify.

Thanks

As I read the TOU, as long as you are not charging for the translation
results (i.e., your application designed to do something besides
provide translation) and you give proper attribution to Google for the
translation by including the appropriate branding, etc., you should be
okay. That said, I am not a legal expert and I don't know of any that
frequent the group, so if you have any doubts at all, you will want to
take your question to a lawyer.

Hi,
Thanks for your reply, I am still having some doubts.
My application main purpose is to provide sentences translations from
one lang to another, but since this is aimed to mobile and most of the
work will be on UI and UE i'm not sure if I can use the translation
API from a legal point of view.
Is there a google legal department I can fwd the question to, further
more does ads enabled app considered charging?

Thanks
