They offer a free tier (I don't believe they did so before). They provide support for defining terms... so we could provide some kind of editable master-list of terms that should not be translated. |

Better to consider integrating other translate APIs, here are the options I've found:
- Microsoft (best choice IMO)
- Yandex
- IBM Watson (I don't trust it to continue to work reliably TBH, as it's translation API is a minor player)
I plan to fix that by making the Composr v11 translation API support multiple backends, using hooks, as I did for the weather API.
I'm not sure what we'll do with the Google part of it - probably I'll keep testing working by moving our API key onto a paid tier with low usage limits, so it doesn't trigger a fee.
