Hi matheuss,

I would test it myself but is there a limitation of characters like with the API. (1 million, 2 millions... 500 millions ?)

Thanks a lot for your response.

Hi,

first, thanks a lot for the very fast answer !!

I think I can handle the bot captcha if it comes like every 10/20 translations. Are you experiencing something like this ?

I will give reviews about my journey with your script, I already used it for simple tests with nwjs + angular and it works great.

To be more precise about my needs, if this interests you (otherwise stop reading now the huge text below :) ) I want to translate a big load of articles, reviews, comments etc... in 10 languages and this is only the start of the app.

So I calculated my needs with google translate api ($20 for 1 million characters, white spaces count) and let's say I have to translate 10 articles each day in 10 categories (sports, economy, world, regional news...) so 100 articles per day in 10 languages with an approximate number of 6000 characters per article. This gives me 6 million characters per day. So $120 each day and $3600 each month, which I could handle but before I need to get clients and launch the app.

Also this is only for news articles. There will be comments and other stuff to translate, so this goes very fast to something like $6000 a month with the google cloud translate api, which I really can't handle at start and again to pay the google cloud translate service I first need to start the app and get enough clients.

Thanks for reading and sorry for my english if it's bad, I'm not native speaker

Best Regards.
