Google Translate usage limits

[Hye Ji Moon]

Hi. 

We are trying to use Google Translate javascript API down below.

<script type="text/javascript" src="//translate.google.com/translate_a/element.js?cb=googleTranslateElementInit"></script> 

<script type="text/javascript">function googleTranslateElementInit() {

new google.translate.TranslateElement({pageLanguage: 'en'},'google_translate_element');}</script>

We are aware of that Google Translate API and Google Cloud Translation API is two  different things. and try to find out details about Google Translate API.

I have questions for using Google Translate API here:  

1. Can we use Google Translate Api without any use Limits?

2. If we need to pay for using Google Translate Api, where can we find the guide for paying?

Thank you

 

Regards

1. There are no limits of request to translate text(text translation) and Detect Language (language detection). However, these limits cannot be changed.

           Maximum number of files that you can include in a single batch request             100 files

          Maximum number of glossary resources for a project                                              10,000

       2. You are charged for Cloud Translation based on monthly usage. You can see this link.

Hi Expert

Thank you for your support, however I assume that you answered is about Google Cloud Translation API.

what I really want to know is there are any limits for using Google Translate "javascript" API down below.

<script type="text/javascript" src="//translate.google.com/translate_a/element.js?cb=googleTranslateElementInit"></script>

1. Do I understand right that There're no limits of using Google Translate "javascript" API Unless we use file translation and glossary resources?

2. also, Could you let us know where we can find the guide for Google Translate "javascript" API ?

Thank you so much.

In case this helps:

I use the Google Translate API with python.

There seems to be a limit of 128 in the number of segments the API can process in one single batch.

Exceeding that limit results in error 'google.api_core.exceptions.BadRequest: 400 POST https://translation.googleapis.com/language/translate/v2?prettyPrint=false: Too many text segment'

To avoid that, what I do is to split the list of strings in batches of 100 segments, and post batches individually, and merge them afterwards.

number_of_segments = len(list_of_strings)

if number_of_segments > 100:

logging.info("Too many segments, it's necessary to split to avoid 'google.api_core.exceptions.BadRequest'.")

logging.info("Let's limit the number of segments per batch to 100")

num_of_batches = math.ceil(number_of_segments / 100)

batches = np.array_split(list_of_strings, num_of_batches)

else:

batches = np.array_split(list_of_strings, 1)

Cheers, Manuel
