Hello,

I tried to use my Google MT v2 API in Omega T with Windows Vista, the automatic translation
will not work. The error message runs: Server returned HTTP response
code: 400 for URL:
https://www.googleapis.com/language/translate/v2?key=null&source=PT&target=EN&q=Publicação:%2030/11/2011%2015:44%20Atualização:


I checked the MT configurations of Omega T (the INI file), they are
ok. I changed my Google MT v2 API key, the new key will not work, same error message as above.

any help is welcome!

I can only reproduce your error if I do not enter an API key correctly.

You could check this recent howto:

Vista problem? Dec 2, 2011

I tried to help a friend who uses Vista set up her GT key, and there was a problem with changing the configurations file--Vista would not allow it. I am NOT an expert by any stretch of the imagination, so I asked someone for help who knows more. If following Didier's link doesn't help, I will try to reconstruct what he did. I believe he renamed the existing .ini file and made a new one with the key information in it. It worked fine after that.

PS - your link is no good

Vista and 7 require editing the .ini file in another place Dec 2, 2011

This is addressed in the link I gave above.


I believe he renamed the existing .ini file and made a new one with the key information in it.

Yes. Quoting the howto:

3.2. Move the .ini file somewhere else on your disk, as the files within
the original directory are in read-only mode
3.3. Open the file .ini in a plain-text editor
3.4. Ad the following line to the text in the file:
-Dgoogle.api.key=YourGoogleAPIKeyHereMineHas39Characters
3.5. Save the file and move it back to the OmegaT folder
(Users of Windows XP can edit the .ini file directly in Program Files
supposing they are being logged-in as Administrator)
