Do this:

1. Open up your translate.php.

find these lines:

@curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
	@curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1);

change it to:

@curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
	@curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_REFERER,"http://$_SERVER[SERVER_NAME]$_SERVER[VBSEO_URI]"); 
	@curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1);

2. Also in translate.php

Go to http://code.google.com/apis/ajaxsearch/signup.html

Get an api key for your site, copy it

find:

@curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/services/language/translate?v=1.0&langpair=".urlencode($fl.'|'.$tl)."&q=".urlencode($text));

change it to

@curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/services/language/translate?v=1.0&key=COPYYOURKEYHERE&langpair=".urlencode($fl.'|'.$tl)."&q=".urlencode($text));

Of course replace "COPYYOURKEYHERE" with the key you got from google.


That's all.

Easy as pie.

This will ensure google knows where the requests are coming from and that they can contact you in case of problems instead of just banning you from all of google by ip.

Thanks! I added this and it is working. Seems like a good idea to follow Google's requirements and use this API key.
