   Google Inc. is a wealthy organization, I don’t think it will loose its profit if it lets the translator gadget untouched. Most of us are people from foreign countries and we need this to communicate with other people.
   You have money and lots of it, you wont take it in your grave,shrouds don’t have pockets. Stop this exploitation once and for all, and use your money to help people. Or we can stop using Google, there are other search engines, hundreds of them. Keep your gadgets for yourselves, most of them are idiotic, like the flower pot. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.

   I agree that this is terrible news… Another example of Google not listening to their customers… Money is the only thing they care about…

   I hope that this gadget is saved…

   Seht euch doch mal den Anfangstext an, der strotz ja nur so von grammatikalischen Fehlern. Also ich glaube das ist keine ernstzunehmende Nachricht!

    This is not a commercial translator – it’s for people trying to understand eachother in conversation across the world. Bad call by Google, and I’m going to quit using Chrome in protest.

    The king says – I rule all
    The soldier says – I protect all
    The cleric says – I pray for you all
    The worker says – I pay for it all

    Google says – I’ll control you all

    구글은 무료 가제트를 중단하면 유료화 한다는 말 입니까? 무료든 유료든 제대로된 번역기를 제공하시기 바랍니다. 모든나라의 언어를 획수 및 번역에 오류가 발생하면 번역하는 사람이나 번역되는 글에 착오가 생기면 차라리 안하는것만 못합니다.

    why do they need to do this?..aren’t they satisfied with their money..most of the users cannot afford to use paid translation software. Its simply called greediness. Hope they change their way of thinking..

    E a humanidade continua a demonstrar um retrocesso insano, a tecnologia o qual deveria nos livraria de um labor a mais, pode ser fechado em nome da ganância, alem de um retrocesso, fica latente que ganhar é uma voga, será que teremos que teremos que vivênciar-mos mais LEMBRANÇAS TRAGICAS, como a de JESUS, SANTOS DUMONT e um cem numero de (martires) locais ou mundiais para nos dar-mos conta de um benefício geral. Em que mundo vive-mos?

    Thank you for the notice. I appreciate knowing ‘why’ instead of just waking up on the 1st to your Translator being out of service. I also want to say a HUGE thank you for the link directing to Bing’s option. Though I can tell already that I won’t like it as well as I’ve loved using yours for years, I do appreciate that you have our best interest in mind! And, I’m keeping my fingers crossed that we’ll see you back up and running again soon!

    How horrible! I’m learning french and this translator has been extremely helpful when I dont know a word! I cant believe that Google is going to make people pay for translators. The last cost free thing in this word has become money obsessed!

    it looks like translating into and from romanian will be impossible now, bing doesnt find it nessicary to include Romanian in their API so it looks like I… and about 50milion other useres are screwed

    wait…. 50million * 20 usd….. that is 1 bilion dolars,…. just of of romanian… wow Google just got greedy

    Hallo Google,Diese Entscheidung ist falsch.Wir nutzen dieses Programm sehr oft und gerne.Es ist unverständlich für die Google-Kunden,dass ein solches gutes Tool aus der Nutzung herausgenommen wird ohne, eine gleichwertige Alternative zu nennen.Mit dieser Entscheidung verprellt man Ihre Kunden.Es ist erstaunlich wie Google solch einen schweren Fehler macht.Wir fordern Google diese Entscheidung zurückzunehmen.Danke!

    Google think of nothing except money and having it’s own way in everything it enters. Googles creators may think they are clever, but in the end the people decide. I have changed my browser. I urge all of you to do the same. Remember democracy is King. STUFF GOOGLE !!

    This was a Great Gadget and helped a lot. Google could have FED its adverts into it and kept its translation service free. Hope something similar comes up soon. Most other gadgets available are all Google based. 🙁

    This things happen when a company become bigger and richer every day more. They think to be omnipotent and don’t care about the thinking and the wills of the people. They don’t even think that the people has got a very strong weapon: it’s called “Boycott”
