I am trying to use Google Translate V2 to get automated translation. I have gone through all necessary procedures on google cloud and obtained the API key (I am still on trial version though). According to this guide (http://omegat.org/en/howtos/google_translate.html), I was told to "Find the file OmegaT.app/Contents/MacOS/OmegaT.sh and select your preferred e... See more I am trying to use Google Translate V2 to get automated translation. I have gone through all necessary procedures on google cloud and obtained the API key (I am still on trial version though). According to this guide (http://omegat.org/en/howtos/google_translate.html), I was told to "Find the file OmegaT.app/Contents/MacOS/OmegaT.sh and select your preferred editor to open the file." Of course, such a file did not exist even though it was the latest version of Omega. I only had an OmegaT Unix executable file. Hence, I entered the API key through the Omega T interface (Omega T>Preferences>Machine Translation>Google Translate v2>Configure) and I thought everything would work. Nonetheless, I got the 403 Forbidden error as shown: I don't think it is an issue with my API key as I have tried 2 other API keys. Really looking forward to hearing any advice you guys might have Thanks and cheers Jia-Geng ▲ Collapse | | | Didier Briel France Local time: 08:15 English to French + ...

Did you give your credit card number?

Of course, such a file did not exist even though it was the latest version of Omega. It's because it's the latest version of OmegaT, that the manual doesn't match: "Documentation, particularly of new features, will be less comprehensive than that of the Standard version." https://omegat.org/download Hence, I entered the API key through the Omega T interface (Omega T>Preferences>Machine Translation>Google Translate v2>Configure) and I thought everything would work.

I deleted the previous few APIs I tried and created a new one. Another error (400: bad request) showed up and I was about to give up and try the standard Omega T version approach. However, I stuck around the Machine Translation window for a few moments longer, de-selecting the Microsoft Translator such that Google Translate v2 was the only one remaining etc., then it miraculously worked. I added the key the same way through Omega T>Preferences...>Machine Translation>Configurations... See more I deleted the previous few APIs I tried and created a new one.

I added the key the same way through Omega T>Preferences...>Machine Translation>Configurations The root cause is unknown, however, as my billing was done up from the start. Maybe it needed some time to propagate to their back-end records. Thanks, Didier Cheers Jia-Geng NB The current google translate v2 is called Cloud Translation. It works on a 365-day free trial system. The user sets up his billing system and $300 in credits will be billed to his account for use. Any fees incurred will be deducted from the credits until it expires in 365 days.

Hi Jia-Geng, I'm so happy to find your post because I have exactly the same problem as you, but there's no place I can ask to or get help from. My OmegaT is version 4.1.5, the latest. I tried that "OmegaT.sh" thing, which neither could I find. I put API key via the preference tab, and I have "403: Forbidden" problem. and still have that problem. Did yours work on another version of OmegaT, the basic one? Or do you think it's because you changed...
