This translation SUCKS.
i bought 2 copies of vbet until now, this is much money for me. Until some weeks it was okay, but now there is NO translation anymore, even with API1, i thought okay i install API2 but i can only use it with credit card, here in europe no one has credit cards so i cant use vbet anymore, any help?
Hi. We know - it sucks that Google is not free anymore. Believe us - it is as much important for us if not bigger (because we sell vBET) to have free translations. Still this is not up to us - it is up to 3rd party translation providers.
At this moment you still can use Google v1 and Microsoft API. Booth are still free. Booth has limits. Last release of vBET has even providers queue - so when you reach limit in one provider, then vBET switches to another one. So you can still use free translations.
Google v1 will be closed December 1st 2011.
Microsoft Translation API is free only until March 2012.
We will add soon possibility to use paid Microsoft Translation API (we didn't check yet how there payments are made - feel free to check).
Please address your issue to Google - we cannot do nothing about payments methods in Google v2. Maybe if they will get enough feedback they will add other payment options.
Personally I have something what acts like credit card but I cannot made credit on it. I have no idea how it is named but, outside it is recognized same as credit card. I'm living in Europe and I know people with credit cards, so I can say that those are available. Please ask your bank what possibilities do you have. It is area which is out of our control. We cannot change Google payment methods. We cannot tell you what possibilities you have in your bank.
So at this moment:
- You can still stay with free translations. Those have limits.
- You can adopt to Google v2 payments methods. If you do not use Google v1 it is advised to disable cache cleaner - you do not want to paid over and over again for same translation.
Do you need more help here?
I dont need a credit card so i dont buy one just for one service. Google API1 is not working anymore, since weeks now! I will try now microsoft.
Okay, Microsoft worked about 10 minutes, now there is again no translation. If this is not better until tomorrow i want a refund! (my first!)

Welcome to Microsoft Translation API world :P
Their limits are not up to vBET - their limits are only up to Microsoft. Google Translation API v2 allows you to set your own limits.
Reasonably true as you dont control the third parties, but I would remove the "Free Translations" from product description, or at least word it as "Limited Free Translations".
There are still free translation API available (even 2), but of course the information left from better times
Please point where it is written exactly (give us links) so we will be able to update.
