Google Translate is a paid statistical machine translation service provided by Google Inc. to translate a section of text, document or webpage, into another language.
Google Translate functionality can be consumed programmatically using the Google Translate API. Google Translate API v1 is no longer available as of December 1, 2011 and has been replaced by Google Translate API v2.
While the Google Translate API switched to a paid service, Google is still offering the Google Translate Element as an ongoing alternative. The Google Translate Element, when embedded on a webpage via JavaScript and an optional placeholder HTML <div>
, can translate pages automatically.
