I was wondering why there are so many problems like that with Google translate service.
Could you explain me?
Thanks :)

Version 0.13.1 has been submitted and is waiting for approval. Thanks again @tx9191!

The reason is that Google closed the Google Translate API for third party software, except if you pay for it. gtranslate is currently using the non-official API, which changes whenever Google decides it’s necessary. The only thing we can do is to adapt as fast as possible when they change it.

I contacted Google to know if gtranslate could have an access to the API, but they never replied.

I plan to add the Bing translator service at some point (#36), which could mitigate the problem by allowing people to change the translation provider.
