Question

I have the ZF first old function working before but somehow ZF it was failing, and then i made the unittest module.

I am trying to use the google translation v2 but it never works anymore, did Google stop there service for public use or is it PHP Bug or somewhere else confusing very much.

Always returning 403 with both following functions.

Any idea whats going wrong?

<?php
## Test: How to's
/*
$ php tst.php 
403

$ curl http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/services/language/translate -d "v=1.0&q=dog&langpair=en|ru" -H "Referer: http://google.com"
{"responseData": null, "responseDetails": "Please use Translate v2.  See http://code.google.com/apis/language/translate/overview.html", "responseStatus": 403}sun@sun-M14xR2:/var/www/html/vooyz.com/unittest$
