Not sure what I meant about Google Translate API being dropped, but Bing Translator is now implemented.

Ok, so Google Translate v2 API is not free, period - no base usage at all. I think that's probably what I meant, and I think it's a big issue.
While v3 is too complex for end-users to realistically configure.

Bing do have a free base usage, so I do imagine people using this as the default now.
