Google Translate API doesn't work with CAT tools (Wordfast or MemSource)

[Łukasz Król]

Hi there,

I'm stuck as a regular user of Google Translate API. Although my browser key is valid, both Wordfast and Memsource inform me that access is denied due to Error 403 whatever that means. It's not too complicated even for a monkey to copy & browse the key, so I'm confused because there's nothing to be done wrong. 

Long story short - simply doesn't work now, it used to do 1 month ago. I need this API to earn for living, so I'm really p*** off as I got tons of documents to translate recently :(

My project ID is: 44586128218

Any clues or solutions?

Thanks in advance for any thoughtful ideas.

Hi Łukasz, you must enabled Translate API on your project before being able to make requests. You can do this at the 'Services' tab of your admin console.

Hi Joao,

You're absolutely right - it was turned off. I feel like a jerk. Moreover, I do not not recall the moment when I could've turned it off, mind plays tricks sometimes ;)

Cheers.
